Black Mark

by mjohnson @ 2008-01-29 - 11:31:22

When bloggers get a bit fed up with blogging they do the - I'm taking a break from blogging post. These posts are a bit boring, not least because the bloggers are usually back as soon as they've sorted the divorce out. Rest assured that if I ever wish to take an extended break I shall claim to be off designing a new kind of Llama fibre toboggan in the Andes for the special forces. Something I wish I'd pretended to be doing the time I accidentally resigned from my current job after having a rather lovely holiday in Croatia and a serious case of the back to work blues. In that case rather than making up an exciting fictional career in South American Alpine Engineering I took the advice of my friend in HR and wrote a grovelling email retracting my offer to resign. An incident that was referred to by my boss in my annual referral as a bit of a black mark.

The incident may also have contributed to the reason why I'm not blogging as much as I could be right now. You see I'm having to do all my blogging at work. This has happened before. Strangely my home computer, and any computer that I use through my home router, cannot access this site. The last time this happened I was told that my IP address had been blocked as I was a suspected Spammer! I asked 'the man' if this had occurred this time, I even went as far as suspecting a smear campaign, but they told me they don't block individuals for being spammers. This left me wondering what happened the last time I was blocked and considering the possibility that I might be some kind of collective, a hive mind perhaps, in which case why am I so crap at multitasking.

So I am essentially locked out of this site until I move house, which may not impinge on the frequency of these text based posts, but will mean that I won't be able to draw bananas over dicks in porno using MS paint, or make up fake cum shots involving cereal box mascots and anyone from Coldplay without risking another Black Mark. Sorry about that, my hands are tied.

If you were to move to another blog site, which site would you choose?

It is weird how this site blocks people some times....

Something to do with spyware, apparently...

Do you know of any cure?

I would leave a comment, but I'm far too busy trying to catch these llamas...

Is it the Welsh Llamas that have two Ls. How do you pronounce that?

I think all llamas have two Ls.

Well, except that Dalai.

The Dalai Lama isn't a spitting pack animal! Oh cripes, I've got to stop that sled!

I've noticed recently that the blog site just freezes everything on my screen and shuts blog off. I can be in the middle of something and BAM it's all gone! This is why I am typing so fast - I can't believe my eyes. Better save it quick is my moto. It could be something the blog sight has changed or it could be the spyware as juzzzy said. I have had trouble with my spyware and virus ware etc., so I took out the old and downloaded some free stuff, and blog hasn't shut me off since! Well - cross fingers- YET ;)

Sounds like the next logical step is to get some new virus software.

Can't help wondering what job you do, esp. as you seem to know more about law than the average person (well, me)? I've just come from Rowtheboat's blog btw.

I'm a surveyor, so we do law modules, I only know the basics. I wouldn't have written that anywhere a proper lawyer might have found it. If your interested in all that look up the law of Tort. Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] is where it all started. A rather interesting case about a snail in a bottle of ginger beer.

Aha! Interesting indeed, particularly as to whether it was a snail or a slug, and in fact ginger beer or some other fizzy beverage, and that the court did not find in the woman's favour doubting the existence of decomposing slimy creature. I know how the poor woman must have felt having once found a caterpillar in a yoghurt. I couldn't face a yoghurt for about twenty years after that.
