@drkknits Not even We are NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER?

@drkknits The burly builders were playing it on their radio a little while ago.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when you are waiting/hoping to get the right email, you will instead get 57 wrong ones.

---

@pubtextiles Have you got any remnants in the shop? I made a skirt out of one I got last year and I love it!

---

@drkknits How have I never read The Larrikan Subject? It sounds FASCINATING.

---

@drkknits I wasn’t being sarcastic! Well, only a little bit. It caught my eye because it’s an awesome title. 🙂

---

That’s 2nd time I’ve been to @tobysestate 80 Bay St and it’s been closed when Internet says it’s open. Very frustrating.

---

@dancingman It got fixed this morning, apparently!

---

@neil_killick You’re killing me. Our office didn’t even have ELECTRICITY for half of this week. #jealous

---

@drkknits TOO RIGHT, SISTER!

---

@catehstn I feel a bit the same, and I don’t even have such a valid excuse. Commiseration…

---

@catehstn Nah, not so much that. Just stress. Also having garden worked on; everything dug up and messy. Bad feng shui. Tense all week.

---

@drkknits Your eyebrows have completely shamed mine. Mine look like scraggly caterpillars next to such finery.

---

RT @jchyip: As a (role) I want (business value) by (method/requirement) http://t.co/HxnRsEDjYu

Trying a mantra: I will not stress about things I cannot control. I will not stress about things I cannot control. (Repeat x 500.)

---

@pyko It’s definitely my biggest challenge. I have a tendency to fret.

---

@Justacogitating @imdominating Heh. GROSS!

---

@messicat Have you checked with shelters if they need walkers? Some runner friends I have in US run with shelter dogs for exercise!

---

@messicat Also, the Cat Protection Society has volunteers who play with the kittens to socialise them. Maybe dog shelters do same?

---

@Ausgrid Hmm. Lights flickered a while ago, but still nothing! Something go wrong?

I have to use the bathroom. Due to continuing power outage, ladies room is Bottomless Pit of Blackness. iPhone Flashlight app to the rescue?

---

@auspost Ah. Still, $3 to send a postcard separate to the package I was already sending doesn’t really help!

---

@dancingman Still no power! This sucks. Any idea what’s going on? There are like a dozen guys digging a hole on Lower Ft. St.

---

Ausgrid are now digging up the pavement directly on front of our office door. 48hrs without power and counting… http://t.co/8rBOS3DEVC

---

@mcannonbrookes Yowza. That’s some accountability!

---

Knee. Physio. Again. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/fLJq2oj93p

---

@eobeara The first day we all worked from home. Today they rented a generator so we could power up office network.

---

Good session at physio. It’s hard to recognise progress after a year of chronic pain, but my knee is definitely improving.

---

@eobeara It is. It still hurts, but I can objectively squat farther than I could before. Running still forbidden though.

---

IT WORKED. I BLOCKED THE CRAP OUT OF IT, AND IT WORKED!! #qrcode http://t.co/H6t71ItO8C

---

For the record, Google Goggles seems to work better at deciphering slightly wonky QR codes than other dedicated apps.

---

@witty_knitter Yes, check the URL. I just haven’t put the content up yet. YAY! What app did you use?

---

@drkknits Google Goggles is best, I think, though you can try dedicated apps too.

---

@witty_knitter Awesome!! Blocking the crap out of it seems to be key.

---

I don’t even care if it doesn’t work once it’s sewn on. We’ve had multiple successful tests of concept, and that’s good enough for Art!

---

@eobeara Fantastic! There will be content up on the page soon. Just wanted to prove it would work!! Thanks!!

---

@witty_knitter In fairisle on 2mm needles, no less. 😛

---

… And now I’ve got to knit another one. Dammit.

---

Second QR code knitted, and it also works. BOOYAH.

---

@misswired Seen that one before. I have trouble with anything like that since Halloween here is always so hot.

---

@drkknits Awesome. I knew some sleep would do the trick!

---

@wheelyweb There are special meta-tags for it. http://t.co/wyiomAcXzC

Day 3 of no power at Lower Fort Street. Luckily I’m at home for the gardeners, so at least I can see when I go to the toilet.

---

Me: “I dreamed that zombies were chasing me!” Rodd: “I dreamed that we left the grill on in the oven for 3 months.” We have different fears.

---

@imdominating @drkknits THAT’S THE PICKLE TASTING PLATE PLACE!

---

Client meeting over. Still no power in the office! Ausgrid are tearing up the footpath on Lower Fort St. Meanwhile, I’m going home. 🙂

---

Anybody know of a place in Wollongong that will delivery Ben & Jerry’s? @drkknits really frickin’ deserves it.

---

@Ausgrid Hey, I think most of my co-workers were happy for the chance to work from home on such a lovely day. So no complaints here. 😀

---

@dancingman Don’t think so. Failed around 5pm last night; apparently 38 buildings affected. They were literally digging up footpath today.

---

@pinkcatknits @drkknits I wish I could! I fortunately I’m in Sydney; not much I can do besides curse the dickhead responsible. 🙁

---

@dancingman Does your secret info include the likelihood that it’ll be fixed (and I have to go to work) tomorrow? 🙂

---

Silly me. I thought I’d be able to buy a postcard at @auspost. Instead it’s just toys, metal cupcake stands, and candy. I wish I was joking.

---

I am the worst person in the world to offer advice to the heartbroken.

---

@drkknits QUIT TWEETING. ENJOY THE GODDAMN SERENITY.

---

@that_alison The Reject Shop is better organised and cheaper with a shorter queue. I’ll go straight there next time. 🙂

---

@pinkcatknits However long he says it will take – be prepared for twice as long. I speak from experience.

---

RT @textfiles: So @twitter announced they’re killing off versions of Tweetdeck, on their posterous blog: https://t.co/nn8BS1RZ1k ..which …

WTF. @twitter is killing my beloved and carefully maintained OLD version of Tweetdeck? THAT COMPLETELY SUCKS.

@Alacaeriel I don’t think you had nearly as much done. If @pinkcatknits is talking architect, it will be more on par with ours.

---

@Alacaeriel @pinkcatknits Ours was ripped out completely, down to bare concrete floor and walls. Had a wall moved. Custom everything.

---

@Ausgrid Thanks! I guess that means I have to head into the office. 🙂

@auspost Broadway Post Centre. I was sending a physical parcel to someone and wanted an Australian postcard to put inside, not an e-card.

---

@auspost Broadway used to have quite a lot of stationery. Seem to have replaced it with large Bureau de Change and lots of random stuff.
