snippets from my thought processes

The bosses (all four of them) are here having meetings, fixing computers, etc. It's very annoying, because it means I need to be careful about what I have on my screen. They tend to frown on people being online. And they keep popping out the door behind me, which means I have about 0.44395834958 of a second to hit alt-tab. (Ahh, alt-tab, you are my hero.)

Very. Annoying.

Anyway. Not alot happening at the moment. Iain has taken a week off next week, so, obviously, I'm working every day. I've worked a grand total of about 10 days in the last 2 months, and they choose this week to really need me. *grumbles* Oh well, I suppose the money will be handy, considering we have to buy a second car soon, and I need a few more teacher-y clothes. Hmmm.

I start school in less than a week. Freaking. Out.

It is SO muggy outside. Horrible. It was only about 23-24C, but 10000% humidity. Egh. So glad I'm in here!

Having said that, here is work, so maybe not. Ech. Saturdays are usually fairly boring. Yayz.

Am applying for jobs everywhere. It's funny; some of them are incredibly simple - they just want your CV and references, but others are incredibly detailed (like the 20 page one I'm working on now. Oi.). Hopefully I'll get something...

So yes. Very bored. Please feel free to entertain me!

Happy Birthday, lisayaeger!

Hope you've had a wonderful day :)

Must stop procrastinating.

I have a Conference presentation on Thursday, and I haven't even started writing the paper yet. And I have to do a PowerPoint, and a handout. Awesome.

Ooh, look, shiny...

I have a few friends who are in a band, and they're releasing their next EP in January.

They need places to play gigs, and bands to support, especially in the Sydney and Melbourne areas.

So if anyone knows of any bands, promoters, venues that would be willing to have them support or play at their venues please let me know, and I'll pass it on to them.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks guys.

I'm at work. And bored stiff. I totally don't want to do any work at all. Tres boring.

I've done all the references for my Tutorial paper, can't work on my module for education because I need the readings, and I can't really do much else. Meh.

I'm hungry. Can't eat until the last patient leaves, and that looks like it's going to be at least another 30 minutes. Dammit.

So yes. Bored.

I'm so nerdy.

I have two new toys - a washing machine and a clothes dryer!

Well, I don't have the washing machine just yet - they ran out of stock, so it'll be ready later this week or next week.

Anyways - our washing machine, which is a top loader, decided to kick the bucket on the weekend, and we're not sure if it can be fixed. We'd wanted a new washing machine for ages because ours was given to us and a little old - and it used faaar too much water. So we have a new front loader, which has a much better water rating. And now we have room for a dryer, which will sit on top. And we got a great deal.

YAYZ.

And the weather has been very obliging; they've forecasted rain for the next week straight. Hee.

I have just emailed off my essay. Bibliography to follow tomorrow (long story) and then I just have to wait for the official verdict.

He had better give me a pass.

I'm feeling alot better today, which is good. Nose has stopped running, lung have stopped trying to leave my body, and even the headache is almost gone. I am sore all over from coughing, but that's to be expected. I'm pretty stoked at how quickly I've gotten better; usually these things drag on for weeks with me. Yay! God rocks!

Mmm...lunch...then a snooze, I think.

I spent a couple of hours last night at the Emergency Dept of the Royal Brisbane and a medical centre down the road.

I now have 4 stitches in my left hand, between my index (pointer) finger and middle finger. *sighs*

I was very stupidly cutting an avocado for a salad last night, and I slipped. It was quite convenient that my family and father-in-law were all there for a BBQ, so my father-in-law and Iain took me to the Royal and then on to the medical centre because there was going to be a few hours' wait at the hospital.

It's quite long and deep. The guy who did it did quite a good job; he initially thought it would only be one or two, but then he got sewing, and realised just how long it was.

It's very annoying and frustrating though; I can't use it at all and it hurts and my two fingers are swollen. My hand is all bandaged up.

The stitches come out next Wednesday. And I'm flying to Sydney tomorrow; come home Sunday. I can't even do my own hair!
