Tricky is trying to do some work but finding distractions everywhere.

404 is saying exactly the same thing that Tricky has just said :-)

Rubyw is amazed at how much work she has got done while the forum has been down.

Rubyw wishes she hadn't cut her fringe quite so enthusiastically late last night, as it looks a bit odd today. She hopes other forum users will learn from her unfortunate experience and hopefully avoid bad haircut days in the future. She is probably spamming this thread singlehandedly at the moment (sorry!), but is doing it in utter delight at the forum working again. (up)

chrisrolinski is severely editing a chapter in distress.

Tricky is annoyed that his experiment didn't work out very well :-(

SillyBilly is happy that she got a week extension for her paper deadline!! Thank god!!

Scienceishard is grateful for Rubyw's advice. Was considering giving my own hair a chop - what with the credit crunch and all that, but have thought against it. Nothing makes you more self conscious than a hair cut you hastily gave yourself. Don't worry though Ruby, the best part is.. usually nobody notices and I'm sure it looks fine!:-)

Juno is sympathetic towards Tricky (up).
And is hoping that her LCMS runs overnight OK.

chrisrolinski seriously hopes that his thesis committee accepts his request for an extension of a week before he submits his chapter for a review. please, he needs this.

Rubyw is glad to hear Scienceishard's reassurance. She is very relieved she used proper hairdressing scissors and not her blunt swiss army knife ones with the mini red torch.

Scienceishard is impressed that Rubyw owns swiss army knife scissors with a mini red torch!:p ...... and also a little bit jealous!

Rubyw is amused that Scienceishard is jealous of her penknife-torch! She used to be an IT technician many years ago in another working life, so the torch was handy for crawling into dark places looking for network sockets under desks.

404 is trying really hard not to fall asleep. Oh and she can relate to that fringe incident as she had one herself the night before... now she has to find a way to turn it into some purposeful-funky style.

Sylvester doesn't get it. He's worked brilliantly all week, knocking off one task after another and no procrastination. What's brought about the change? The good weather? All the cycling he's been doing making him feel more energetic? Sticking to his schedule? The Leechblock software banning him from all his procrastinating websites in the daytime? The start of term? Whichever it is, it's working and long may it last!...Cue lousy day tomorrow!!!
