angelophileHorrible horrible day at work. Major problems with the computers that really threw my day off. I came close to losing two weeks worth of work and still feel pretty sick to the stomach over it, seeing as those two weeks probably equated to the bulk of the magazine. To lose that a week from deadline would have been catastrophic.
Managed to get the computer up and running again. Beginning to wonder whether we may have contracted a virus from somewhere, as my computer was playing up as well. Although I suspect it was more to do with us doing a lot of work on each others computers across the network and bringing the thing down. Since I'm the only designer and mac operator, and my assistant/secretary does a lot of the scans and typing on the computer that went down, it was my job to play IT guy and fix it. Thankfully Norton seems to have fixed the problem for now, but I hate to see the blinking question mark from hell...
Still no movement on my holiday, besides getting the best price I think we're going to get... Pissed off a little bit at my friend Paul who's been texting my friend Andy who's going with me to tell him he's interested in coming too, but has singularly failed to answer any of my many phone calls or respond to a single one of my damn texts. I just want it - booked- so I can forget about it for a few months. I get obsessive and want it sorted. My intense focus coming into play again.
Kinda listless all round at the moment. Been tired and uninspired. Just generally stressed by things. Just want to be able to switch off. I've been able to spend a little more time with the girl recently, which has helped immensely. She's dragged me up by my bootlaces and cheered me up no end. Another reason for being desperate to book this holiday...
No slimming club tonight. Because of my birthday earlier in the week (Oh and thanks to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday. :) I had a couple of days off the diet and think I've been lucky to stay almost the same this week. Hopefully I'll sneak a bit off over deadline week like I did last month if I can resist the chocolate and red bull. Can't see the point in going tonight to be told I've put on when I know why and know what to do about it and am motivated enough to do so.
Bloody starving now. Gonna go raid the kitchen...
