You know how I said yesterday that I was never driving pre-coffee again if I could help it?
Aha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
I did it again with Bastard this morning. Our driving experiences seem to devolve into lightly heated discussions as to how his terminology doesn't mean the same things to me. "Line up the car" can mean "line the car up with the fence", "line the car up with the house" or "line the car up with the gates". This is important when I'm trying to navigate the car backwards between the fence and house (where it is only just wide enough to clear the mirrors with a little left over, at one point) and end up in a position to exit the property. Bastard said this morning that he always meant "line the car up with the gates". Since I had been explaining to him shortly before he said "Line up the car" how I was going to fuss with the positioning because I couldn't see one of the gates in my side mirrors, and he was saying it as part of the 'helping'... I'm adding that to the list of things I'm peeved with him for.
Also witnessed this morning: Car crossing from the lane to my left, in front of a car who also began indicating and then crossed to the same end lane, two lanes to my right. Very well synchronised, they ended up pulling into the rightmost turning lane at the same time. This was at the CBD end of Anzac Highway, btw, just before it crossed over Richmond Road/ Greenhill Road, and I was in the rightmost non-turning lane going into the CBD.
Tonight I'm rostered on as demo for the beginner class. I just hope Bastard remembers that I told him this several times and picks me up early, as I requested.
Lastly, Internode have changed their webmail interface. I'm not sure I like it. The headers up the top are too big, and it's very orange. The way the sidebar has been done seems a little off - it scrolls, attached to the top of the screen until it's disappeared, then it fades out and fades in again wherever you are and sticks there, attached to the side of the screen. And I still have to scroll to the top or bottom of a message to delete the message. And to get TO the webmail from the front page, I have to scroll to the bottom right of the frontpage, enter my details, and then ensure that I've chosen the radio button which corresponds to webmail and not 'MyInternode', which is where we can change our account details, BUT which I have to log into using our main account details and not my subsidiary-type email mailbox details. I want my user-friendly, dammit!
