I've finally finished catching up with lj and what folks have been up to over the past week.
To those of you who have had good times and good fortune, yay for you. To those of you waiting for job news, my fingers are well and truly crossed for you and I hope you all find fantastic and well-paid jobs. Or at least jobs which don't drive you up the wall or into penury.
To those of you who have had bad news, my sympathies go with you. I'm here if any of you want company or support or to rant (although adding the lurgy to your ills is not a good idea). I hope things improve soon.
And to those of you who are stressed out, you also have my sympathy, and if any of you wish to borrow my voodoo doll, I'll see if I can dig it out. Ooh, I wonder... when the irritation is a workplace, could one do voodoo on it by making a replica in lego? Hmmm...
I got a new kettle to replace the one which has died quite mysteriously. Power was getting to the 'on' switch, but it just wasn't getting hot. And since the new kettle boils far faster, and doesn't spill water everywhere when I try to pour faster than quite slowly, I'm quite happy with it. And I got some more crockery and cutlery in anticipation of my dishwasher.
I am feeling rather ill; I can't breathe properly and I feel like poo. My phone is still drying out from its inadvertant dunking yesterday, though it looks like it may still work. I still haven't got various house stuff sorted out, and I'm not terribly happy. My short temper is showing, and I'm not doing too well at keeping it under control, so my apologies for the fallout from it - I'm trying my best. If things come across as narky, please try not to take them that way - I'm not at my best for phrasing things right now. I'm not trying to cause offence. Really.
Edit: All the rest gone to a custom post.
Right, enough of this, too much whinging, I'm going to go do some work. Or something.
