I'm in my attic

    Deadline to meet. Computer based. Around 2am I get "NTLDR is missing" during boot, and spent about 3 hours of absolutely tearing the house apart trying to find a Windows install disc.

    Eventually found it in the attic about 5:30am. Someone, while I was up there, took the ladder away, and appear to be out of earshot. So I'm still up here, posting from my phone. There is no light. Or insulation. I hate spiders. It's just gone 6:10.

    How is everyone else beginning their week?

    You can't ring anybody in the house?
    How big is the house that they can't hear you shouting or banging on the ceiling?

    Must try harder.

    Feckin terrible. I live in a shared house. Couldn't sleep all night, thought I could hear a rat in the attic. Got up to go for a piss, some d*ckhead left a ladder in the middle of the hallway. Had to put it back in the shed.

    I'm off to work now though. 90 min commute, 12 hour shift. Won't be home til 9pm.

    I'm free. They went downstairs for brekkie without their phone.

    My horrific ordeal is over.

    And now I have a story for work that nobody will believe.

    Because of your thread an ad for insulation appeared on my phone, will I send it on so at least if you get stranded up there again you'll be prepared?

    If you were an ever ready bunny, you'd probably collapse and die.
