Wel i got to Comet, and despite being told by their customer services that even if the pc centre was closed, i could still leave my pc - in fact i couldn't. I was so upset as it turns out that their it helpdesk centrey thing is only open during office hours - well thats no good to me! They tried to find who gave me this info, but as i phoned from work it would have been a withheld number.

I phoned pcworld instead and got it booked in for Wednesday, and they have promised me that i could drop it off the night before. If it turns out that i can't i am going to be seriously pissed off.

I felt so squished and squashed and generally down that i have had a good cry. The girl on the pcworld booking line did cheer me up with her interpretation of how to pronounce Wednesbury though! I told her that she had made me laugh for the first time that day - i hope that that gave her a good feeling!

But after that i still feel down, as if nothing goes right for me.

I know the answer is to change me...but how did i get rid of these old patterns and get new, happier, nmore successful ones?

Feeling squished today. Last night by PC died. I think it has something to do with the power, as it doesn't get as far as even trying to boot up. That should mean that all the stuff on my hard drive is safe, but i have no idea if it's fixable or not.

I had thought to drop it off at comet tonight, but i had forgotten that i have a work thing in the early part of the evening. Hopefully comet will still be open by the time i am done.

It does mean that i probably won't write any more of my tma tonight, but i am well ahead and have typed up everything i have written so far, abnd edited so that it is starting to come together.

And i suppose it's a good thing that i have been typing my tma on my work laptop! I would have been gutted.

As it is, the only thing that would be annoying would be to lose all of the Nerina stuff, but i'm going to be positive and think that my data is ok.

I had been thinking for a while about getting a portable HDD, gosh don't i wish i had now. Still, if the pc is broke and can't be fixed and the data CAN be saved, i will have to think about a replacement. The only stipulations are that it has a dvd writer and MS money!

i decided to do part one instead, and am making a lot of headway with it, i did nearly 400 words over the weekend, which means just a little to finish off tonight, and i might even try and type it up. Then i nearly have two full weeks to work on my essay, which is not coming together. I am hoping that i can at least write a little and keep on top until my tutorial.

I rode my bike a little, and hopefully i can keep doing that each weekend. ~I can't see myself doing it during the week now that i am well into TMA season.

I picked up my new bike, which i swear is bigger than the last one, still it's ok! I had forgotten how painful it is on the backside, like sitting on a razor. I'm also so unfit that it was actually less tiring to walk to the bike shop than it was to cycle back from it. Still i am going to try and do 30 mins each Saturday and Sunday. I can get up early, which means that there is less chance of a bad person seeing my cycle and then following me home and breaking in.

Or something.

I'm not sure about during the week, this course is taking so much time....Although i am most procrastinating. I am finding it very difficult to get into the rhythm of writing tmas. I have two days to do my next one, which just about comes under the 100 words a day. I just don't know where to begin! Especially since i going on a team night out tomorrow, which means that no work wil be done.

it's been so long since i have written.

I have started my new job, and it is keeping me very busy. Which is good, but i am having second thoughts about it career-wise, but whats done is done.

In my new team we aren't allowed to used the web, so so much falls by the wayside.

On the upside i'm getting a bike. I've put a deposit and should be picking it up tomorrow. It's quite a nice one, and i'm going to keep it inside the house so it doesn't get stolen!

money-wise things are tight, but i'm just about surviving. I'm bringing sandwiches into work, which should save me a bit. And keep me away from chips!

I finally got my new glasses. I don't think i will go back to Asda, as i am still not completely happy with the fit, but at least the prescription is ok this time. I do need to get some new sunglasses, as i've had my old ones for at least 3 years! I want to get some nice ones with diamonte trim, but anything cool would be good.
