Beating My Head Against the Wall of Stupid...

Clients are bad for my health. I think my blood pressure skyrocketed beyond the range of "normal" today.....

1) Client asks why I can't make the rectangular image she sent me fit proportionally into the square space....

2) Client: When will my update be finished?
     Me: My hope is to have it done today. I will let you know when we've finished the programming.
     Client: Ok, thanks.
     Me: The programming has been completed, please review at your convenience.
     Client: What am I looking at?

3) Client receives scam email. Forwards it to a lawyer and asks what he should do. Lawyer says while it's important to protect your trademarks, this is a scam, ignore it, blah, blah, etc, etc. Client then forwards email to me, with a very panicked message about not knowing what should be done and asking what action should be taken. I reiterate that it is a scam and should be deleted and forgotten. Client says "Okie dokie, that was easy peasy". SOMEONE NEEDS THEIR MEDS INCREASED.

Helsingborg


So I was cleaning out my computer - purging various old files as I am prone to saving everything for no good reason and I found a text file that contained this:

1710 In the Battle of Helsingborg, 14,000 Danish invaders under Jørgen Rantzau are decisively defeated by an equally sized Swedish force under Magnus Stenbock. This is the last time Swedish and Danish troops meet on Swedish soil.

Now this leaves me wondering WTF I was doing and why I thought that was apparently noteworthy enough to have its own file. While I am partially Swedish, I am not particularly interested in history, so I really cannot figure out for the life of me what this was about.

Though I do think the o's with the little slash mark are very cute....

Ghetto or ingenious...


...or both? Ok, so it's a little hard to see because my cell phone camera sucks but my neighbors have come up with a solution to the problem of not having a porch, wanting to BBQ but being too lazy to go out the other door....I'm not sure if precariously putting a large grill on some kind of cart for sliding door access qualifies as pure genius or totally ghetto..or massive fire hazard...
