    I forgot how dull being benched was

    2 hours in and I'm already bored. It's that bad I'm contemplating cleaning the bathroom.

    I might go for a walk to the shops, it's my last chance to stock up on high quality torque wrenches before I head back to the UK.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Count yourself lucky, I usually take my 'rests' in January and February.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I know what you mean, i usually spend the first week catching up on DIY and then settle down to some serious PS3 time.
        Luckily never had to deal with more than 4 weeks!

          Where is your "To do" list, I usually spent my last few week of my contract writing mine.

          Swimsuit, sun hat etc.

          Enjoy your time off.

            Yes I should be grateful for the sunshine. Might go and work on my tan in the beergarden.

              It basically involves moving house & country, so I am having a few days of relaxation first. It's not like I need to hurry, there is nothing in my diary for the next two weeks, just a few books to finish and some tourist attractions to visit.

                  Newton meters. A 1-5Nm screwdriver and a 6-30Nm wrench should cover my bicycle related needs.

                  If only I had time & space for a classic car I could really go to town.
