Right, this will have to be quick. Going on holiday on Friday. Boiler stops working this morning. Got trapped (albeit temporariliy) in some toilets at work. Very painful ear-ache develops (remedied by painkillers). Appointment made for tomorrow morning. One university assignment has been e-mailed to the tutor. The other must be printed (have I enough paper? Will pastel coloured paper do?) and posted. See Guide to Preparation for instructions on how to fill in the PT3 form. Digital camera arrived on Tuesday, as I think did some more OU stuff . . . but I wasn't in. Take parcel delivery note to work. Read . . . 'left behind gate' . . . gate?! Oh, lower security gate . . . I see. Ethan's birthday on Friday. Presents bought. Need wrapping, posting. Hilary's birthday on 28th. Ditto. Where's me E111? Do I need one? Passport? More gin? Oh, there's my passport. Do I upgrade to kernel 2.6.2? Why won't Linux recognise my Canon Ixus II despite latest drivers, blah, blah, blah . . . is this a USB thing? Wonder about the choice of music at this moment in time . . . 'Freebird' by Lynryd Skynyrd . . . what kind of words are those? Considering ripping door off for said toilet cubicle . . . put my fingers round the bottom of the door, my heart racing, feeling claustrophobic, pulling and bending the door (wooden). Have second thoughts . . . release door. Lock releases. Damnit, I was kinda looking forward to ripping that apart . . . erm . . . oh, yes . . . better fill that PT3 in.

Ha ha ha ha, just noticed I'm listed at 'The Insight'! Fantastic! Perhaps there is some kind of, erm . . . therapeutic effect here, just by virtue of the dull content . . . that should calm you down. NO! Stick with kernel 2.4.1, you freak.
