Everyone should have an aggro list. There are two columns. The first had the header: Aggro List for Today. The second has Permanent Aggro List. Underneath each column you write the names of people who have causes you aggro (aggravation or annoyance). Some people go on the “day” list almost immediately, some people make it onto the permanent list. It’s also easy to graduate someone to the permanent list. It’s hard to justify relegating them to the day list…
It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that if you do keep one. Keep it private and don’t pin it up in your workplace. No sense in becoming an addition on someone elses aggro list.

It’s a long meeting and I’m getting a little bored during it. I’m in work, writing this article via Airport on OSX from a nice little Bay Networks (oops, Nortel Networks) Baystack 660. It’s only 2 mbits but it’s sweet enough for surfing.

Lordy I’m tired.

That’s the fun thing about this Internet life we lead. I wake when the radio reads me the local news then I sit up, grab Pismo, boot OSX and read my 55 emails (this morning…in about 6 hours I got 55…jeez), go online with Yahoo and see if my team are online (we’re spread over Europe and Yahoo Messenger is a nice MS-free environment to tell us if the guys are online).
Twenty minutes later I’ve finished, replied to a select few, checked the network in work and then I’m starting to think about breakfast as the coffee taste starts to get a little sour. A bacon buttie would be nice but I’d settle for cereal. Gotta get to work.
