Word of the Day: snagging
As in a snagging list. I'd never heard of this use of the word until yesterday, but it seems to have suddenly become very important. There's a snagging list for the house I share with my friends, and there's a snagging list for all the work recently done on the labs here at uni. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it simply relates to the whole big list of things which still need doing even after the builders have walked away with a fat cheque in their grubby mitts and a smug smile on their faces (ok, so not all builders are that bad, but a hole appeared between my back door and the alleyway out to the main road recently, so I'm kinda pissed off with the whole construction thing right now).
It's very suddenly turned into one of those days where I have meetings every five minutes. So does everyone else, so we've reached the point that we have to very carefully plan our day's activities around every other member of the team. It's like some crazy 3D dance of the timetables, and I have a horrible feeling that just like every other extreme sport, this is going to end in pain for one or more people.
There's also very little on the internet of note, which is probably a good thing given my rather restrcited availability. It ought to be noted that the Swedish rally kicks off today - check out www.wrc.com for the latest standings if that kinda thing rocks your world. It does mine.
Talking of things which rock, my mate is insistent that the sample track Song To Sing When I'm Lonely at www.johnfrusciante.com is a work of genius. I'm not sure I entirely agree, but it is quite good, and more than worth a listen if you happen to like the Chili Peppers and have a few minutes to spare.
