Prickly David, keep out of reach of children

[davywavy]

Doing a quick read-through of my posts & replies to people over the last few weeks, it's noticable that the overriding impression that I get of myself is one of irritation - namely that I seem to be snapping at people very peevishly for very little provocation.
Thinking about it, this is probably because of real life stuff - the absurd working hours I'm doing. Take today for example: out of the house at 6:55 Am, home for 7:45 Pm - and that's a good day.
Environment affects us greatly, and so next time I'm chippy at you online, just nod sagely and say to yourself - "Hmmn, David's just had a two hour train ride, followed by another meeting with his boss to discuss just how working more for less money qualifies as a market rate pay deal." It will explain a lot, believe me.
People thus far chipped at or generally belittled for little reason include: raggedhalo, applez, nebuchanezzer, and marlowe1, and that's off the top of my head. Consider yourselves approriately apologised to. Same to anyone I've missed.

NB: Note to raggedhalo: just because I'm currently getting the sort end of the capitalism stick doesn't mean I think it isn't a better system than any of the ones you approve of.

Yeah, but you're a student - I don't expect you to have a realistic grasp of economics, sitting in the Union bar all day supping beer at 5p a pint and talking about Sartre, I know your sort.

Beer..?

Uck, after my excesses at the age of 17 I'm only just recovering my ability to stand the taste!

But, yeah. That's actually my life...

*grin*

Kinda...

I'm not criticising or anything; after all, that's exactly how I spent my 3 years at university.
