I didn’t get the job in Manchester. My qualification doesn’t come through in time. Reasons I shouldn’t have found that out at work:

- I don’t work so well when I’m trying not to cry.
- I don’t drive so well when I’m angry and fed up.

I expect the people who heard me shouting *FUUUUUCCCKKKKK* as I drove along were quite shocked. Not, though, as shocked as the 5-series BMW with which I kept pace on the way home.

Bad Kate.

I’ve calmed down now, I’m just unhappy about it.

LEE, my off duty this week. Late, Early, Early. Whilst I am not fond of Late Early I can cope. But Late Early Early leaves me wanting to curl up in a corner and die. If I actually went to bed then it’d be fine, but I’m lousy at going to bed…

Anyway. So. Tired. TIRED. Need to stare at Dissertation some more.

Food time now :-)

John very kindly gave my my birthday present, 512 Shiny Megs of RAM. Hopefully the PC will now run much, much faster. We’ll see how we go – although I’m pretty certain that a new install is running towards me at speed.

Mrr.

I really am very tired!

Number 1: Update Winamp. My machine has been a bit squiffy since…errr… ages ago. I get odd runtime errors on quitting lots of apps, but it’s actually been stable with it – so I’d been studiously ignoring that problem. And then up popped Winamp with a “Serious security problem” – please, it said, please let me update to 5.24. So being as I’m weak and stupid I did so.

My machine has since become as stable as a dog on wet lino.

So, now we’re running XMPlay, which is what I used to use on my low-power laptop. This is fine. This is okay. I am, however, a trifle peeved at having to endure crashes thanks to Winamp.
