The techno-jinx does its stuff! Not drastically, but this Microsoft wireless mouse is a bugger, it only registers about three clicks out of four, fiddle I never so wisely with the mouse settings. There is a certain amount of re-clicking and swearing involved in the course of weekend browsing. Also, I've spent selected chunks of the weekend trying to get my Skype connection to work, which is all going fine except that I cannot persuade this computer to acknowledge the existence of my spanky new headset. I think they may have installed a nifty power switch just around the corner in a different dimension, from which vantage point it's snickering at my pathetic fiddling with drivers and what have you. Bother.

I need to review Nation, and the Warren Ellis Iron Man series (Extremis, Adi Granov art, extremely beautiful), both of which I've recently read, but I'm trying to catch up on the work I didn't finish last week and reviews will have to wait. So, while I dive back with a despairing squeak into the user-friendification of directions for potential applicants, I leave you with a meme (nicked from Dayle).

If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?

(I don't think I'm actually likely to get arrested, I'm fundamentally Lawful Good, so you may have to be creative. Also, feel free to grab said meme to find out your friends' suspicions about your own criminal tendencies).

Arrested for sheer cussedness.

I think that's annoying rather than illegal, technically...

Normally, I'd agree with you, but if you're good enough at it, it could happen.
