I had an Office 2007 disk that I used to re-activate it off (with the product key), but that has vanished like everything else I take my eyes off for thirty seconds in this fucking house. Can I just torrent an old copy of it, or will they be shit?

07 is fine to torrent.

I'm using the latest but only because my Uni is giving unlimited licenses, all I have to do is download it off their website and sign in with any email. It's not too shabby.

It's my last day in work before we finish for Christmas. It's Christmas jumper day and I think it's toy day too, though I could be wrong.
The kids are all off in the hall this afternoon for a film while the school gets a tidy, I'm aiming to see most of the film.

All after school stuff is cancelled as it's the staffs anual Christmas trip to the pub over the road. We finish at 3:30 and I aim to be drinking by 3:35 at the latest.

Then I can get festive. Having a Christmas drink with a friend tomorrow then an early Christmas Day on Friday with my girlfriend as we can't see each other on the big day. Which means I get two Christmas dinners!! :cool2:


Oh and I don't bother with MS Office anymore. Libre Office or something like it is fine.

Dquincy
21-12-2016, 07:53 AM

What age range do you teach? Bet the kids are on hyper mode due to Christmas.

My last day today. Got to get a dilaps deal done, but apart from that it should be a fairly nice one. And my secretary is bringing in her daughter today for lunch.

They have so many shades for "pretty much no one", pointless map. Although I will say that my (2nd) Bay Area high school was something like 35% Asian, and in all of the advanced classes and shit that number was up towards 70%. School half an hour south was 85% Asian from the get go. But the Asians don't come up with slang, it's all blacks.

I went to Greggs yesterday and they didn't have any festive bakes. Twice that's happened now.

It has happened to me twice as well (albeit on Sundays when they only sell the crap they never sold the day before), so they can fuck off this year.

Mum has decided to relax the Polish Christmas Eve tradition of 'no meat allowed' and as such she wants me to roast a hunk of beef and I'll also do some Korean BBQ inspired wings too.

I'll also make bread sauce tomorrow ready for the turkey I think because I've fallen in love with it.

One of my naughty children got me a bottle of the same. It was lovely. Our haul this Christmas was pretty impressive, including 6 bottles of wine/bubbly and over a dozen boxes of chocolates.

I ended up buying my girlfriend a gps for her bicycle. Mostly, I bought it so I can do some testing by comparing two different power meters simultaneously as I know she'll use her bike twice per year at best.

Her mom sent us a package for Christmas, as she always does, including all kinds of delicacies such as rillettes, foie gras and, the most important, saucisson. But it's been over two weeks now which means that the cunts from customs have probably intercepted it and will be taking my sucisson again. :mad:

I always equate it to being a bit like when you were at school and you would leave the essay until the night before it was due. It's that "everything will turn out alright in the end" feeling. It hasn't let me down yet. Sometimes you do your best work when the chips are down.

Today I need to pop into town and get the wifes card. :facepalm: Then we're off to see both sets of Nans, once home I think I might throw some snowballs at random people in Los Santos then have a few drink with the duchess and a Chinese. Sweet.

My wife's family do this every Christmas. It's mental. We've already posted them a Christmas card, but now she's spent over £40 on Christmas cards for the same people for Christmas morning. And because we have a little nipper, she's had to buy separate ones from him.

Absolutely mental.

This will be the first Christmas in living memory that I've spent in Utah instead of Northern California, meaning the first time I've seen snow on Christmas since forever. Usually it's just sunny or at best very rainy. I'm sort of excited for it.

We did a think at work, instead of cards and getting advent calendars everyone donated 24 items of food and it went to the local food bank. Was loads of it!

I'm in Prague, which usually has a nice blanket by now, but it doesn't this year, and they were showing a 5-minute news special on Czech TV about how it's snowing in the Sahara right now, the whole time very clearly butthurt about not getting any snow of our own.

The highlight of this visit was her telling me she's turning the heating off because she has a warmer duvet than my grandad, but she also offered three gifts I was supposed to open tonight. The first was some soup mix, the second was a pair of Playboy pyjamas, and the third was a bottle of Sanatogen tonic wine.

My nephew loving the Deadpool shirt was a real highlight. He kept walking around kissing his muscles and punching his fist into his left hand.
