Vent Part 2
I should add this to the other week's Friday Q list: Static Electricity. I *hate* it with a vengeance. At the moment the weather is really dry, I'm wearing a polyester/cotton jumper, and the new shoes I have must be pretty well insulating or something, because every time I get out of the car I get a massive ZAP. I can even see the sparks in broad daylight. Even if I put my hands on metal before putting my feet on the ground I still get zapped. It pisses me off severly!!
But anyway. On a lighter note CIA had a lovely night out at Abhi's Indian Restaurant. Many many photos were taken on my camera, although probably half of them not by me! Daniel and a few of the others had turns playing with it. Haven't downloaded the pics yet, but there are some classic shots in there!
I know the feeling, being a bit furry, both the kitty and I suffer all winter from constant static shocks. Kitty gets rubbed down with used dryer sheets, and so do I, mostly my boots, which DO insulate electrically rather well. They aren't rated as personal protective gear, but I get zapped all the damn time.
