Once a northerner, always a northerner. Despite having lost most of the accent I had I'm told I'm still recognisably northern. Especially when on the phone to my mum, when I revert completely and sound like I should wear a flat cap and keep ferrets
But I never was a Northerner. It seems to be some unto the seventh generation, mark of cain type thing. My accent occasionally has Yorkshire shine through it, but unfortunately I can't do it on demand, only by talking to someone really yorkshire and getting into the midset, else I would have been a lot more popular at the Tolkien silly-sketches audition.

Mwahahaa! That's what you think. Mwhaaaahahahahaaa!
This spreadsheet is, unfortunately, the only thing I have to do today. I've gt a definite end point, and the results will be used so I can't just fudge it all and make things up. The mind-numbing tedium is that having worked out what I want to do, I have to repeat that 48 times, and given that one step requires me to judge something off a graph by eye there's no easy way of automation.
Ah. Bummer. Make the 48 estimates in a look, alt-tab, type, alt-tab, repeat way, and then use a macro of some sort? Realise that no-one you care about will die do to bad estimates and make them up? Waste time until the job is more urgent for someone else's life than yours and say "Well, you do it if you think you can do it any better!"? Hide your head in LJ and hope it'll go away?
