Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Night shift
Sometimes I disagree with what we do; I think that as a culture we cling desperately to the last shreds of life at whatever cost. It doesn’t mean I don’t do my job, I do my job to the best of my abilities, but sometimes I disagree with what I’m asked to do. We, being…

As the world prepares to sleep
Another couple of nights. Just two this time, although with the extremely silly need to drive to Manchester the day after the second one (don’t worry – plan is to come home, sleep and then go in the afternoon). Nights mean that, yet again I’m swinging my body clock around by 12 hours. It’s slightly…

Random thoughs of a lass on a cofa
So, it’s been four weeks since my bin was emptied. I realised that today. I’ve finally managed to fill my outside bin to the point I need it emptied… by putting two carpets in it. I’m not quite sure how I generate so little rubbish – obviously the fact that an awful lot of my…

Uh, on what planet was that a good idea?
So, my main plan with my entry *was* to talk about this talk – it’s an interesting talk on biofuels, and specifically bio-ethanol; one of the things that I find most interesting about this is that from discussions and research with various people it seems that classics are probably very capable of running on E-85,…

Progress of sorts
So, having lazed on the sofa and eaten (oh goddess was I hungry. I could’ve eaten a horse. Well, maybe not a horse, but an extremely large feta cheese / mixed veg wrap. That sounds less impressive though) I managed to locate the enthusiasm to find my cheque book. I thought it was on my…

Mathematics
Distance from here to work: 18 miles Time taken on a bank holiday to travel home from work: 1.5 hours Therefore we can calculate that the average speeed of the Kate who’d not had lunch and was therefore very hungry in the Viva with the slightly suspect cooling system and the ‘no cold air fan’…

The UK just keeps trying to make life more unpleasant
Privacy? Civil liberties? Lets see how many we can work on eroding at once. Dystopian Future or Current Reality… Â Yes, we now have flying police drone CCTV cameras being trialled. Anyone want to ask me why I want to leave? *sighs*

Productivity gains
So, today I’ve been a busy little Kate (as can be deduced from the 3 attempts it took me to spell ‘busy’) and am currently in an exhausted little heap at the end of the cofa listening to KK* and drinking ice-tea (well, I’m out of fruit juice; oh, and milk…and cereal…I think I need…

Gardening…virtually
So, I realised that even if the building work is progressing painfully slowly, which it may not be, but *if* it is, then there is one area I can work on, which is the garden; the garden can be done regardless of other…things. So; with that in mind I’ve been planning, thinking, and hurling bricks…
