Electronics goods that can't recognise when their batteries are getting flat. Cases in point, my mobile phone, palm tungsten and canon g2. They all claim to have battery level monitoring in them. They all have three levels in them. My mobile phone, for example, has "battery full", which means it works, "battery not totally full", which means it'll turn off randomly in the middle of phone calls, and "empty". The palm is slightly better, but it just drops huge amounts over the course of a day, and then, that which most craps me, my digital camera. It has "battery full", which means it works well, then there's "battery warning", which means I have 5 shots left before the battery gives out, and then empty. How difficult can it be?

Another thing that slightly craps me off, my dad called last night, and surprise surprise I was not home. I talked to him on monday night on ICQ, he was going to call me then, but it just got later and later and then he says "I'll call you tomorrow", then says wednesday, so I actually stayed home both those nights.. and he doesn't call, instead calling on thursday. The previous three times you actually said you were going to call? I was home. the time you did? I wasn't. Not majorly peeved, but something to keep in mind ;)

Not to be all negative, something that amuses and warms the heart was someone saying last night as I was leaving; "Oh no, my man is leaving!.. wait, I mean hero.. wait.. erm" :)

And now to work, to smite the infidels and restore order to the universe. Until 3PM at least.
