It's looking increasingly unlikely that I'll get my week's vacation next month. I wasn't feeling too bad about declining meetings, but now there's a big community event that we should be doing and it's important for my yearly review and it's right in the middle of my vacation ( Read more... )

I've been having a bit of a week. My computer played silly buggers on Wednesday and I've been nervous about turning it on ever since. And having anxiety moments every time I think about it, even though it's irrational to the extreme because the world isn't over if I have to replace my computer a bit earlier than planned ( Read more... )

It's been a re-run of Friday, which was such a major nightmare that I abandoned my healthy supper plans and ordered pizza, hid under a quilt and spent the evening watched Grey's Anatomy. I was half-afraid that the oven would blow up if I attempted to use it ( Read more... )

So the headache that started yesterday afternoon and refused to go away all evening despite painkillers and tea turned into a migraine that woke me up at around 1am. Argh.

In yet another example of my IT department's ability to communicate, there is controversy over the department Christmas outing. One of the managers decided that it would be a great idea to hire an entire screen at the local cinema so that we could all bring our families for a private showing of the new Christmas Carol movie. This idea was discussed ( Read more... )
