I'd read it!

Having one of my bad days today. Woke up in a terrible mood to begin with and then when I get to work I'm told that like 90% of the office is losing their parking bays so I'll either have to spend a ****-ton of money on parking or take public transport which turns a 20 min journey into an hour. One step forward, two steps back.

Ohh but on the case of paying for it redelivering £9 for something to get redelivered from parcel force screw  those guys and how they hold parcels hostage until you pay them too instead of giving you the parcel then sending a letter asking for money like FedEx do :I

It seems that my newly relocated team got their tax codes at random.
And even though I got the correct one, my tax in the previous month was zero. And I wasn't charged extra tax this month.

My tips:

• When you're done writing, find each sentence in which you use the passive tense, then change it to the active tense.¹
• Also, try to connect the last sentence in each paragraph with the first sentence in the following paragraph, even if it's just the repetition of a word.
• In nonfiction, keep your average sentence length below 20 words, but mix in some really short and long sentences.²
• Sell the sizzle. Figure out the most interesting thing about your story. Then distill it and stick it in the opening paragraph. Always write the introduction last, and when you do, make sure it's the most captivating one in the whole piece.

¹ Exception: The passive tense can be used in a subordinate clause as a description -- e.g. "I bought the board that had already been refurbished" though you can usually just break it down more: "I bought the refurbished board."
² This quote from Gary Provost best demonstrates the importance of sentence length:

This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It's like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals--sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

So write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader's ear. Don't just write words. Write music.

It's a small thing, but still annoying.  I don't get Starbucks or drinks like that very often for various reasons, but today I did.  I ordered a soy no water chai since I don't get along with milk and they will cram half the thing with water if you let them.  He calls out classic chai for me.  I tell him I think they made it wrong, that it should be a soy no water chai.  He tells me it is, that it's a soy no water chai.  I pick it up and taste it on the way out the door.  It's definitely a watered down chai made with milk.  At this time, I don't have the time to  go back and get them to change it and have to run to work.  Now it's going to end up in the trash, a wasted $4.

How much you get taxed in Canada. They're bleeding me dry. I actually manage my finances properly and I eat healthy and stay in shape, so basically there is nothing of benefit to me from the exorbitant taxes I pay.

there website has zero legal information on it, but I can't see how Mito can claim any ownership to the Pulse GB and block any new runs of it...

I'm sure the dealership accepts trade-ins on kids.



But seriously, that's a rough place to be in.  It might be worth to see the trade-in-value of the van and get a certified pre-owned car with a warranty or a cheap new car.  If you can get the difference between the car's value and the cost of repair or more in trade-in-value, it's probably worth getting a new car.

And I realized I worded that oddly, so I mean something like if the sale value of the repaired car is $10k, repair is $5k, and they'll give you $5k or more, trade it in.
