everything in the sky

biorhythmist:

“Statement as of 04:45 PM PST on January 19, 2010 … Record daily maximum rainfall set at San Francisco Airport… a record rainfall of 1.55 inches was set at San Francisco Airport today. This breaks the old record of 1.07 set in 1962.”

— Oh not much, just raining 50% more than the previous record set 48 years ago.

Awww, is there a widdle bit of wain on ol’ San Francisco?
Please.
There are days in England where it rains up.

Stop sending me paper invoices, paper bills, paper receipts.
I don’t have a physical filing system, nor do I wish to have one.
I worry about losing them (especially if they contain personal data, which the important ones almost always do).
I find myself carting around boxes of pieces of paper I don’t give a damn about and which are only needed once in a blue moon.
Send me an email. Give me a login account. I recently purchased an Evernote Pro account and have begun using that to scan bills, but I’m asking you, bank / local council / insurance guys, to do something, somehow, to allow me to harness the beautiful digital power of searching and sorting text without having to do the legwork.
Stop sending me albatrosses to hang around my damn neck.

I took up some extra freelance work (on top of the normal freelance work, on top of my 9-to-5) to afford SF.
The upside is that the meds I’m on for the flu are packed with caffeine, so sleep isn’t an issue.
The downside is that this is a client who mixes up his own project numbers as well as being chronically unable to differentiate landscape from portrait. He’s not afraid to argue about it either. Often it’s with himself.
So this leaves me at 1:30am sorting through 50 badly named images, trying to separate French from Spanish from files named ‘landscape’ from files that actually are landscape. I don’t speak either language.
Still - only 4 hours till I get up and start on my normal job, right?
Right.
I think the drug dealers are outside.
I bet it’s cold out there.
I might go make them some tea.
