A new word has been invented.
Qwertyfaced: Noun: In a state of fatigue, esp. near a computer. From the pattern on your cheek when you sleep on a keyboard. I wanted to get this down before anyone else did. I'll be onto the Oxford English Dictionary people shortly.
Tell me, did you make this last post 'qwertyfaced' or was it just a particularly late night that has you making posts at 2:28am? I wonder why you would be running programs from a USB key; is this a virus protection thing? I have only recently discovered the array of gadgets that can be plugged into your pc via the USB port. Who would have thought you could suck a decent amount of power from them; certainly not me as I have regularly poked around with my fingers trying to locate the little blighters that are cunningly concealed on the pc at work. I have so far seen a minature lava lamp and a lighting christmas tree plugged in. I have been told that you can also buy an electric cup that keeps you beverage warm and a fake mouse that runs around inside its own wheel. Mad.
I was almost Qwertyfaced! I was staying awake as I had to carry precious cargo home from its Christmas party. You'll see from another post some kind soul (I think s/he's an American judging by recent visitors today) has made a suggestion regarding the USB key. It is indeed, quite clever some of the "Potential Christmas Pressies for that guy in work you got as Secret Santa" you can get now!
