DIY Planner: 14-20 January
We had three (four counting today) clear days in a row. That has to be some sort of record. It was cold, too, so I drank a lot of tea last week. The little tags fold open, so you can make notes inside them.

42 Days
That’s how long it’s been since the last Harry Potter movie was released on DVD. I saved it to my Netflix queue as soon as they had a record for it. I moved it to the top of my queue as soon as it was bumped from my save file to my queue. And still, forty-two days later, I am surrounded by a distinct lack of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I am not amused. In fact, I’m almost unamused enough to go buy the damned thing, which is, I’m sure, what the distributor intends. (Netflix claims they have been throttled by the distributors, and that they are only allowed to purchase a small quantity of discs for more popular new releases. I don’t see any reason to disbelieve them, as it makes sense, and they have nothing to gain by pissing off their customers.)
Is Your Ctrl-Alt-Shift-J Working?
God help me. Otherwise, I may scream.
Our system was upgraded over the weekend, so all our macros are, of course, broken. Wev. This happens with every upgrade, and it’s not something I intend to get my knickers in a twist over. Others, though? Lordy! I have been asked several times today if my “Ctrl-Alt-Shift-whatever” macro is working.
What the fuck, people?! I haven’t a clue what Ctrl-Alt-Shift-whatever refers to. All my macros have been re-keyed so that the keystrokes are easy for me to remember and reach. Duh. Why on earth would someone use a three- or four-key macro that requires both hands and/or acrobatics, when they can use a simple, two-key macro? Even stupider, why would anyone assume that someone else’s macros are linked to the same hot keys as theirs?
Do these people not think?
