An American twat predicted terrorist attacks on the Amsterdam rail network, probably between August and September. He did so in the Dutch newspapers. Today, a passenger train jumped off the tracks and brought down the mains, so all other trains got stuck without power. These are the Netherlands, mind you. Between 1945 and 2002 trains were like clockwork. Who needs terrorism when you've got budget cuts, employee dissatisfaction and gross neglect?

My cat Creon made a run for his freedom this morning, having reluctantly spent the night indoors. He's a night flier, so I can understand. What he does not understand is how this freedom will come back to haunt him: I can't let him back inside until fourteen hours later, and he's not had anything to eat yet. Freedom is relative.
First day on the job, tech supporting Dell. Took 12 calls or so, needed to log 8 tickets. All of these tickets were returned because of info missing. Then my system went down, I had three angry customers on the phone (amateuristic shyte! I'll toss my laptop through your window!) and I went home. Phew.
