Sleeping Beauty on Ice
Mar. 23rd, 2005 02:04 pme-scrabble is gone now. It was briefly active earlier today (just long enough for me to note that
blue_monday had played...was it "quaish"? something q-ish, on a triple word score, for 60 points. 60.) and now no more. I am distressed.
When I got to work this morning the route to our door was cordoned off, but with no reason why, and no sign of anyone around. So I ducked under the tape, and was promptly shouted at by builders looming out of a window halfway up the building. After learning that I was going to work, they told me to go round. I explained that there is no round, only the door. So they let me in, and proceeded to have the same conversation with every single person coming to the unit this morning.

My computer successfully downloaded episodes two and three of Lost while I was out yesterday, but now it seems to be suffering. It's not that it crashes, exactly, but it restarted itself repeatedly until I managed to shut it down in between. I haven't checked to see what the problem is yet, but I'll run the spyware stuff when I get home. I'm heading back to Peterborough tonight, for Easter. I'm going back a day early because I have a dentist appointment (I haven't bothered trying to find an NHS dentist here, for the obvious reasons - not knowing if I'll be here that long, the impossibility of finding an NHS dentist with space). I'm going to have to go shopping to buy my sister a birthday present. It's actually her birthday today - 22 - but I'm seeing her for presents etc on Friday, so I've got a few days grace. She sent me a text saying that the children in her class (she's doing teacher training for Primary, I think she's teaching Year 4 at the moment) sang her happy birthday this morning. Awwwwww. Still makes me want to steer clear of teaching, though.
