This - I tick most of the boxes but don't whinge about it. I whinge about my inability to stop eating crap instead - comfort eating, plain and simple. I'll get there someday.

Everyone throwing work at me and expecting me to be able to juggle it all. *explodes*

Finally had to admit defeat and ask for help with stress management.

So many things lately.

- People who answer their mobile and immediately start walking at 25% of regular walking speed. "Disengage power from legs! Divert to listening and thinking immediately!" "The system is now stable sir." "Good..... increase talking volume 100%." "But why? I don't think there's any reason to..." "I DON'T PAY YOU TO THINK."

- Girls with crimped hair. This only occurred to me today but I think it's something I've always found a little creepy. Ten year-old girls have crimped hair - it's weird on adults.

- Students who contact us because they've failed to reset their password, usually because they've attempted to change it too many times and locked the account due to being unable to follow the basic password stipulations... AND they've forgotten what they put for the answers to their security questions... oh, and what was my username again? Jesus.

- Quizzes where you get to play a joker to double your points on a particular round, but you have to pick the round you want to use it on at the start before you learn what the rounds are even called. At this year's staff quiz this recently made the difference between us coming fourth and winning. Nothing like a chunk of random chance to decide the final outcome of a skill and knowledge based game. I sound like a bad loser but last year we won, mainly because we played the joker on a round we happened to get full marks on. I'm not particularly happy about winning that way either.

- Posting pointless irrational things that annoy me when I'm absolutely shattered and should be in bed. Night!

Standing.

I hate standing still. I either want to be moving around doing something or sitting down. I detest standing still for any length of time. I hate standing in queues, in pubs, at work, on the phone, on the Metro - just hate it

That depends on the questions though. Our central system asks "what is your favourite colour?" and "What is your favourite animal?"

I don't know. I'm not 10 years old. I don't have a favourite colour, and no particular animal stands out right now as my preferred choice...

At least ask something less emotive, like "where were you born?" or "mothers maiden name"

One of the ones you can choose is 'What is your partner's name?'. Someone even forgot that.

I look forward to being creeped out by everyone's crimped hair in the future.

My inability of opening mission deli wraps. I spent a good few minutes trying to open a packet today and had to end up opening from the side. Argh!

The useless, inept postal service that have lost my UK passport.

I had sent it to the Chinese embassy in London to get a visa for a trip to China (and Taiwan) next week but it's gone missing. It was sent special delivery but Royal Mail can't track it.

Even though I've got another passport I haven't got time to get a new visa (compunded by the fact I need a double entry visa) so I have to cancel the trip.
