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.

A few hours my shiny metal ass.
Did I say it’d take a few hours to get that bike on the road? I recall saying so. Yesterday I worked on it for the 4 hours of morning I had and got the brakes rebuilt. Not fitted, but rebuilt. Last night, after my 8 hours of shift work and 2 hours of commuting…

Tired *again*
So, today was a good day. At least, I think it was a good day. I worked with Claire, who’s really good at standing back and letting me work; which is really nice. I just feel so much more competent after days like that; it’s really what I needed, I’d started to feel completely useless.…

A Survey, it’s rare for me, but it was cute
Mitochondria You scored 70 Industriousness, 22 Centrality, and 19 Causticity! You’re a mitochondrion! The mitocondria is a “power plant” of the cell. Nothing could ever get done in the cell without you creating energy. Since both the Citric Acid cycle and Oxidative Phosphorylation happen inside the mitochondria, you are critical to every eukaryotic cell. You…

Shock and Awe
I’m amazed how much this failed essay has got to me. I knew it was crap when I handed it in; but I thought it was maybe a marginal pass. Reading the comments though makes me feel that it’s at very best a pass. At the very best. I’m almost 100% certain it’s not. And…

Failure
When I did my Biochem degree, I didn’t really work as such. In fact, I barely worked at all. In fact, even implying that I worked might be inaccurate to an incredible degree. So I was used to failure. In fact, I felt a total failure most of the time, but I was depressed and…

International help Kate day
So, I’m filling in this exciting form to apply for a job. I’d like to send it off in the next couple of days; but I’ve been reminded how much I hate (really hate) application forms. Hell, application forms, interviews, everything. So, if anyone has any suggestions for improvement on the following I’d be really…

Progressing
So, I rang BSA Regal and ordered the bits for my bikes; on the basis that I’d rather know that the Charlie’s brake calliper is fixed (and the iffy master cylinder is okay) rather than leave dodgy brake bits in a box where they can shock me later. Fracknuts, I should have got some brakepads…

And pause.
So, I went to see my mom (deliberate) this weekend; I’ve not been down for a while and consequently the list of things that needed doing was quite long. I did start to wonder about how my dad kept up. (skip past this bit for the wittery kate talk) I… bought fencing material and fenced…

I understand…
It’s been a bit of a weird day. First up today was ringing Abbey, I wanted to check that I couldn’t just cancel the bankers draft. I can’t, no, but I should be able to just take it back to “a branch” and return it. Next up was the WBLD, and yes, it was as…

Pre-thought
Okay. If I ring Health Match BC; what are the chances they’d be remotely interested in a newly qualified nurse from the UK. Should I just say ‘fuck it’ and go, if they give me the option it’s certainly tempting. Very tempting. I’m sick of being at the bottom of the property ladder. I’m sick…
