Everyday Adventures

One advantage of old school books is you broadcast to the world what you're reading on the cover.

Another is you don't look like a hipster doofus.

Holding a smartphone doesn't make you look like a hipster.

I like seeing what people are reading on the train and then judging them for it.

You bought a physical book?  Ok old man.

I don't know man. I have tried to use ebooks and such but they are just unpleasant to read and it is especially bad when I need to quickly flip to different pages, especially when using some sort of technical resource. Also my dead tree books don't run out of batteries.

I converted a decade ago.  Technical resources are what tablets are for.

I like that you can buy 2nd hand books, something that's not so easy with ebooks.

Our gas meter is cursed.

For a while another resident in the building claimed it as her own. I had to literally prove it to her that it's ours. Not that I cared whether she cheats or not but she kept writing her flat number on it so I could not really pretend ignorance even if I wanted to. But at leash she has given up on it.

The meter box is out on the outer wall and I guess the admittedly lose door on it (the whole thing is plastic) must have annoyed somebody (my bet is on the tenant on the other side of the wall) when it was perhaps rattled by wind etc. Because this morning I found some pieces of cardboard pressed together and lodged between the box and its door. It's tight AF now but I couldn't open it!

So when I get home I'll try to use a knife to unstuck the cardboard (and avoid being arrested for being seen with a knife in public I guess) and if I can't I'll need to unscrew the door and hope that helps.

FFS.

They found my books and are sending them to me.

I got my books today. A bit roughed up as you would expect, but nothing serious. All's well that ends well (sorry don't know the original Klingon).

I just did my taxes. Took me 5 minutes in total. Thank you Swedish efficiency!

I'll have to trust the Crown on this one.

I never knew Meghan was a Klingon name.
