No.

I came home to eat a cold bbq chicken and gave some small bits of it to my dog
that was strangely refusing to eat earlier. I then later got 6 subway cookies by
which time my dogs appetite had completely returned.

Not a good idea to get involved with customers if thats what your alluding to.

Besides I'm flat out with uni at the moment. Tonight I'm drinking a lotta coffee
and making damn sure I've:

(1) Got up to speed with titrations for my lab on Monday. I'm using some
simulated labs and doing the calculations ahead of lab class.

(2) Got a good chunk of my foundation unit essay done

(3)got my stats assignment done

(4) got my chem tutorial questions finished for monday.

(5) got some more study done for the next chem test

This is wayyy OT but I'm not on that list anymore.

I'll stop now :)

regards,

Chris
