STUPIDITY! IT BURNS!!

Melancholy mood not lifted, made WORSE by work work work. Nightmare of a server reboot, nightmare of a bunch of employees NOT UNDERSTANDING Windows XP (the easiest thing to understand EVER)...don't we have an IT guy specifically to DO this??? It is not my job to chase up dumb secretaries and teach them how to open Microsoft Word...I have nothing against secretaries I think they do amazing work and can be very organised and all of this but surely one of the few things they need to know how to do is use Office? UGH.

good/bad

Had lunch with Alex today in Forest Cafe. Nachos, delicious :) Feeling decidedly better about life and work and things after a good chat, I was having post-summer blues with the onset of so much rain I guess. Maybe I have S.O.-S.A.D. :P

Dad phoned yesterday well excited about the new "guest bedroom" which as far as I can gather is basically a sort of shack built onto the side of our perfectly good house. I told him I couldn't wait to see it when I come down for Christmas. Sometimes I think about being an "adult" and what that means now. Ten, twelve years ago I had no clue what I was doing unless someone was pointing it out for me- the first year living on my own I was a complete wreck, I went home practically every fortnight (spent a fortune on train tickets), but I managed it somehow and now I do live on my own, I am a "real" adult with a job and friends and life. I pay council tax and send things to my bank without a big fuss and rent comes out of my account and I have credit cards...and a fish named Fish. But I don't feel any different and I still get in a big panic when a letter comes advising me to pay some bill I thought I'd paid or whatever. And I still want to go home...and I'm not sure I do anything important with my life.

It's like I'm waiting for something big to happen and it never does. Stupid sentiment, I know, I'm not sad, just...thinking.

Fringe over :( And I never got tickets to see Dresden Dolls in concert!
