Did I get out of bed on the wrong side this lifetime?

So…

There I was doing some revision.

And the post came.

And lo, I’m stressed. Another unpaid bill; this time it’s the electricity from our old house, and this time at the level of debt collection agency.

Gah.

Where are they all coming from, and why did they leave it all till now to do it?

Part of me thinks: You should get back to working. Part of me is in a bad mood ‘cos it looked like it’s going to piss it down when I’m riding to Bath to see my mentor for my next placement, and part of me just wants to curl up in a corner and make it all go away. The monetary balancing act I’ve been performing for the last two years seems to be ceasing to work.

I know this is just a glitch; but I fear more bills. A day when a bill didn’t arrive would be nice.

Still, I spent yesterday organising my office a bit, or some of yesterday at any rate, and the place is now substantially more copeable. There’s still a fair bit of sorting to do and a mountain of paper work to sort out, but hopefully, for a while at least, I can move in the right direction.

The ‘new’ laptop (nth hand (via Lauren, via John, probably via a few other people)) – a Dell CPiA PIII 450 seems to be working and my nice shiny windows install on it (relative term) seems to be fast. Using ffdshow the machine’s playing back video nicely and it actually feels faster than my desktop – which is presumably ‘cos my desktop although it’s 4 times as fast is running Win 2k and being my storage server :-/

Ah well.
