    Well nothing that daft - I mean, who does? - but I did get into an argument with a tin of corned beef and ended up with several severely lacerated fingers. Bloody key broke halfway around the tin leaving jagged metal edges of just the right sort of jaggedness for causing GBH. What is it with corned beef tins and their stupid trapezoid shape, anyway? What other food products come in trapezoid tins? I'll you, none. Do you know why? Because it's a bloody stupid shape for a tin, that's why. And what about if the key breaks? What ordinarily equipped kitchen has a tool to deal with a trapezoid shaped can with a broken key? I'll tell you, no kitchen has that. So did I get my corned beef sandwich? Well it was just fortune enough for me that after five minutes of bleeding all over the place I hit upon the idea of using a hammer and chisel to open the damned thing. The corned beef turned out to a little bit rare given the addition of my blood into the mix, but by that time I would have eaten just about anything.

      I spent too much for new belts and some maintenance that I probably could have had them deduct since it may have been something they missed last time they worked on my car. I think that's the only dumb thing so far but still some work day left.

                      I mailed out two packages to customers. Then I discovered too late that I had switched the labels amongst the packages so they are each on their way to the wrong place.

                        It was yesterday, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get ASP.NET forms authentication to work. I kept getting a weird 401.2 error telling me my server was configured incorrectly. I was getting very frustrated because I've used FormsAuth many times before, without issue, on this same box. Then, I remembered that when I first created this site, I removed a bunch of HttpModules that I wasn't using, and, wouldn't you know it, the FormsAuthentication and RoleManager modules were both disabled. Wasted a good 30 minutes trying to figure that one out. :doh:

                          I hate it when I do that or start questioning simple words being used to represent something. Like the work 'look'. You know you need a break when you question the spelling of something that simple.

                                        Went into a shop intending to ask for an extension cable but ended up asking for a wire and staring at the shop assistant who stared back blankly until I realised what I had said.
