Petty annoyances

luckykaaI've lost my USB cable for my mp3 player.
Now, this has one of 3 possible locations - my desk in my room in Cheltenham, or packed in one of two bags. Both bags are now empty and I thoroughly checked the entire room. It was not there. Really would have liked it if those idiots at Sansa had used a standard USB mini or micro.
The M25. Yes, I know it's a running joke. Does anyone have experience with it though. Is it always stopped between the M4 and the M3 at 3:30 on a Friday? Would it make sense to avoid that part entirely? What is a good way to avoid it (coming via Oxford from the M40)
Less annoyingly, I've been paid. Or at least got my payslip (Money will take a few days to reach my account). And because of a hefty expenses claim I get to keep most of it. Okay - this does mean I spent a lot of that already but it's still a nice feeling to see big numbers. Wish I understood anything about what I get paid though. Lots of tax stuff where I actually get paid minimum wage then I get paid a commission and then they take away employers NI subtract expenses give them back to me and I'll just assume they get it right.

Only on Fridays that is. It's fine on Sunday evenings...
