Trust me, it's easier with them at school.
Oh, and the whole school is going to the Zoo tomorrow. Guess who's going with them?

Well, having been talking to a fair few people who own and play 3DS consoles, I have yet to find one that has felt dizzy or sick.
Could it possibly be a newspaper making stuff up on a slow news day to sell papers using ignorant people's fear of technology? Nah....

a company at work who actually have worse on hold music!
How I love 'on hold' music! My personal 'favourite' is TalkTalk who used to play, in a non-stop loop, that song "Something in the Air" (Thunderclap Newman). Like I said, this was played non-stop, sometimes for over an hour when you were on hold.
To this day, if I hear that song, I come out in a sweat and feel sick. The amount of sheer anger I have endured whilst listening to that music (thanks to TalkTalk's frightening service), has literally damaged my mind.
On a lighter note, who's seen today's SUN headline about the 3DS? Apparently, furious gamers are returning the system in record numbers and are completely outraged. I think there was something about 'Our Children' and 'Violence' as well, but I may be wrong. Don't you just love how fact-friendly and on the ball our tabloids are?
edit: Choice comment from the Sun's intellectual readerbase (marked as spoiler due to stupidity of it)
Rant over!

@pete: Never! We will immediately look in to making our hold music even more...... unique.
By the way our current hold music isn't that "rave track" that was on previously. We have some nice mellow tones nowadays.

I'm sorry to break this news but it looks as though Freeola have finally lost the coveted crown they have held for so long.I have started dealing with a company at work who actually have worse on hold music!
Morning all.
Still quiet here, kids are still asleep. Only problem is that they're supposed to be going to school in less than an hour. Still, it gives me more time to get other stuff done and they get some more rest.

Playing an excellent DS game (on 3DS, of course), known as 'Hotel Dusk: Room 215'. Exactly my sort of adventure game, I'm loving it! On the same topic, I had no idea that 'Face Radiers' was so purely fun. I took a photo of General Gaddafi for it, and it brought a genuine smile to my face!
On a side note, my new protagonist (novel) is a psychopath, and I'm having a surprisingly easy time identifying with him. Mwhahaha...uh..

It was rather strange being a huge room full of bodybags though. I was just hoping the adjacent lab weren't experimenting with the T-Virus at the time... :p
It was rather disturbing. I don't fancy doing it again, no matter how interesting it was.
You'll get used to it HM, just part of the 'initiation' .... many years ago I was a security guard working in the (as was) part-built University Hospital, Nottingham (now QMC) and part of my 'night' rounds included the mortuary :¬( Well...the first night was, to say the least, rather daunting....but after that it just became another room to check :¬)
EDIT: The mortuary 'fridges' were excellent for storing our Christmas dinner fare when on Christmas Day shift :¬)
