Life can be trying sometimes, it's a demanding world and work is a high-pressure, high-tension place that can make you snap. Over and over cases of people who just couldn't take it hit the headlines; sucides, 'going postal', it's all signs of the stress of the modern era and the 'here and now' culture that we're living in. Demands are higher, expectations are more demanding, pressures are more extreme and requirements for quality equipment are at an all time boiling point. Now, just the smallest thing can make you snap like the proverbial twig, sending you into a wild, mindless frenzy of lashing out at the world. It could be anything, anything at all that triggers it...

On my PC at work, the mouse has no mousewheel.

Ick and yuckypoo. My fine herb n' chicken bagette at lunch was ruined! I, as one does, decided to purchase some quality fresh foodstuff from the Tesco emporium, thinking that a tasty sandwich and some refreshing OJ at lunch would be just the ticket. Alas, my plans were for naught. For, despite the alarmingly powerful smell of disinfectant around the deli counter I purchased myself six slices of tasty looking chicken. However on returning home and carefully constructing aforementioned bagette I discovered to my taste bud's horror that the chicken was throughly embedded with the taste of the disinfectant that had been hanging in the air around the deli counter, even now I have a bit of it as aftertaste. Ick!
Thus, Tesco be warned, I am going to complain. I have the remaining slices of my hapless lunch, I have my receipt and I will have justice! I'm not one to normally cause a fuss over something like this (as the Mars Corporation can attest) but this has my hackles up - they ruined my sandwich!!
More details as the war effort against food continues, later this evening.

I am eating food, that not only has a patent number (EP01025764) but also a year of first publication for the data on the back, which is virtually a datasheet.
Most alarmingly of all this product is 'less that 5% fat' (3.5% by mass to be precise) but thankfully it is 28% sugar. So all is well.
