A random person approached me and told me that I look really nice.
I didn't like his tone so I asked (with a smile) if that meant yesterday I looked gross?
He was saying "What I meant was..." when I cut him with "that I usually look disgusting but today I got lucky?"
He said "Sorry, forget about it".
That really made my day.
I think I may have found a temporary solution to the off-balance fan on my laptop cooler. Put a flat bit of gift-wrapping ribbon near the axle in a way that it won't get tangled. It makes this dull grinding noise where it rubs against the ribbon but at least the fan goes full speed all the time now. And much quieter.
