I would like to officially register my annoyance with the concept of 12-hr time notations (i.e., 4:24 instead of 16:24). It makes looking through the TV guide a right pain. Stupid cultural differences.

Okay, either my e-mail is playing silly buggers with me, or I hallucinated an e-mail from my dad earlier this week. *blinks*

Apparently there's every chance that some manner of piping under my bathroom floor is leaking, and that fixing this will require my bath (and possibly toilet (!) to be ripped out at some point this week. I AM DISPLEASED! Woe.

I think I am one stage further down the path of Time Anal Retentiveness. Not only do I freak out over people who find 24hr clock "too difficult" (what, can't you count that far?), but I snarl about the 12pm / 12am thing too. Let's see, you mean there is a 12 that is before 12 and a 12 that is after 12? What the freaking f***? For heaven's sake, if you can't manage the concept of 00.00 and 12.00, can't you cope with midnight/midday?
Now I'm going to have to pour myself a drink to calm down.

Oh, and BTW, as a person who is entering her 3rd week of living in a house with no bathroom at all, only a toilet (in the kitchen) and one cold water tap, I take your "woe" and raise you one.

The 12am/12pm thing drives me nuts! I can never remember which is supposed to be which. Argh!

Okay, you win. Damn you. :P
