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.

39 hours / 3 hours sleep
Yesterday and the day before blur together into one long and confused mass of a day. That’s because at Awake+10 hours I started my night shift, finishing at Awake+22 hours. By Awake+23 hours I was at home, breakfasted and helping load the van with Lauren’s stuff. At awake+25 hours I went to sleep, in the…

Big thoughts in my little head
So yesterday was another challenging day at work; I had two nurses I was ‘working with’; both of whom had different agendas – which culminated in lots of things not getting done, or being done too late. It’s impossible to prioritise when two people give you conflicting directions; and frustrating when they both tell you…

MacOS – Revoltingly nice
I’m becoming one of those ‘Mac’ people. Those irritating people who ‘love’ Macs. My hackintosh / macinhac is lush to use – it reminds me of the ease of using RISC OS from years ago. It is, I’m sure, not as much of a joy to program – and obviously booting takes a bit longer…

I am coming to you now, live from Macosia
Currently my computer room looks like this: Which is okay, because my screen looks like this: You know, the next machine may have to be a new Mac. Mmm. Mac. We’ll see though, it seems nice and quick – which is pretty suprising, but then it’s all clean and not crudded up with my crap.…

Oh for fucks sake
My PC. Still dead. Still random crashes. Potential components on my hit list – the graphics card and the DVD Drive. In favour of the DVD Drive – Ubuntu won’t install or run from the disk in that drive. The disk works in the other drive. Windows crashes horribly in that drive and my convenient…

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!
I’m a nurse. I am a Nurse. I AM A BLOODY NURSE. How completely insane is that. I have passed the final assignment. I got 85% (iirc, provisional). I FUCKING ROCK. There ends todays progress announcement. (Incidentally, despite a replacement processor, my PC is still dead – I think I might replace *all* of it).

Swimming in the pool of frustration
So, last night I had a really hard shift, it wasn’t that there was lots to do, but somehow both me and Daisy, the other HCA, were both complaining that our legs hurt at the end of the shift. It’s a long-strangely shaped ward which needs lots of walking around – I think that’s why…

Horror stories
So, I’ve spent some of the morning watching Spin (that there is a Google Video type link); I got the link from Sonjaaa’s Live Journal. It’s 60 minutes long and I really recommend it to you guys. You can actually download it in mp4 format from here, rather than watching it on GV. Although I…

Dark Angel
So, I finally got to watching the rest of DA, I’ve been on somewhat of a DA kick of late and have just finished watching Season 2; including the last few episodes which I’d previously not seen. Season 2 is vastly better than Season 1; I guess that’s what comes of giving your characters a…

The Universe, now extracting urine.
Did I say to my PC when I built it, “please piss me off endlessly”? Did I? I don’t recall saying it. It’s just died (again) with a new and shiny error – a problem with an NTFS driver. This is in my list of things that shouldn’t be happening. I did however manage to…
