I mowed grass today. It's not so bad when
you have a nice cool breeze.

BTW, fixing old TV's?

I agree with the cool breeze.Years ago .I used to fix TV,Stereos,VCR's and other electronic gear as a trade .Now I just do it for a hobby.No money now in it.Thanks to the cheap prices on electonic's stuff.

Hahaha, nothing like underworld crime or anything like that! It's just a cute little french restaurant and some of it's previous employees say it can be a bit of a shady place to work. But I got the job and sorted out pay and my hours and everything so hope fully everything will be fine!
Fingers crossed!!

Fun-filled day ahead marking 30 year 7 exercise books and all my year 10 controlled assessments. Joyful joyful. Now if only I could tear myself away from the ledge and actually make a start. Procrastination is an art form

I know how you feel. I have so much work to do but no motivation at all. No idea what has happened to me, I used to do work all the time now I can't be bothered.

p.s in unrelated news I need to stop buying books!!!

My psychotic boss informed me by text that I will be getting a raise (unprompted) at the beginning of the month. He also said he was glad to have me and I was "an emerging attorney with a lot of talent" and had showed "real improvement in court."

This in no way means he didn't make me cry again today.

How did you do in court that day you told us you were going to have to wing it, because you knew almost nothing about the case?

To be honest, that sounds like so many days that I'm not sure which one you're referring to... but what usually happens is either:

1. Somehow it miraculously works out (more often than you'd think)
2. the trial/inquest/other torture is adjourned/postponed/settled-last-minute (or there's yesterday, where the only reason I wasn't thrown into a trial for which I knew nothing in Part X (the "speedy trial" part) was because they didn't have a judge sitting in Part X that day!), or
3. Mark (my boss) decides he wants to do it after all, instead of leaving it to me.

I've yet to actually do a trial (thank god), though I think I'm going to be stuck with an inquest when my boss goes on vacation next week...

My computer just got a Rootkit virus called ZeroAccess.It took me about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to clean it out.The medications were Combofix with help from MalwareBytes plus Super Antispyware to finish the treatment.

There was no collateral damage to the computer and it's files what I can see now.

If one more person lets me down like quite a few people have in my life recently then I think I'm done with people.

I won't be anybody's doormat any longer.

At 4:30AM friday I woke up and puked. I had the runs at the same time. In between sleeping all day and puking I promised myself if I was still throwing up at 11:00PM I would go to the emergency room. I called everyone I knew to drive me but no one was around so I drove myself in. I got there at 11:30PM and they made me wait 5.5 hours to be seen. The witch behind the intake counter kept saying,"there are people sicker than you that need to be attended to."
I brought my phone and its charger in case I was gonna be there for an overnight stay. A man sitting next to me saw my charger and told me he has the same phone as me and his phone was almost out of power, could he borrow mine to charge it. The plug was in between our chairs and it was the emergency room so naturally I oblidged. At one point I fell asleep in my chair and when I awoke the jerk was gone and he stole my charger.

All they ended up doing for me was giving me some anti puking pills, crackers and gingerale. I could have stayed home and been better off.I have a 24-72 hour flu bug that's making its way around the country. My sister in law has prepared me dinner and my brother is on his way over with it right now. It'll be the first solid food I've had since Thursday night.

I have said this to myself many, many times but the truth is I will never stop being a nice person because this world is filled with so many a$$h.o.le.s and will never totally give up on people because I really need them.
