Where’s my funky outfit?

It’s 3:30 am and I’m flitting between marking papers for the translating course, the book and a new rush job which came into today - to check a re-write a company brochure.

time machine

For some delusional reason I thought I’d be able to have a bit of a breather this week *wets pants laughing* but it was not to be.

phone from home

Had a surprise phone call from my Nanna in Australia last night. She rang to say that she had finally received a letter that I posted about a month and a half ago. The address was correct. It had a correct return address. I had also sent my Mom a letter at the same time - she got it in a few days after I sent it - and she lives in the Tanami desert. My Dad got his - and he lives in country South Australia. My Auntie lives on a houseboat on a river and got hers. Nanna is the only one who lives in a capital city. Both she and her local postie were very happy when it arrived - I guess he was tired of her waiting for him and asking for it!

stand off

It’s all love-love once again in my little household after two days of silence and angst - caused by a breakdown in communication.

loose ends

Having a “tying up lose ends” and “general organizing” day today. It feels good to get those annoying little hanger-on thingies done.

speed

Finally a card carrying member of the ADSL crew as of late Friday night!

ntt - grrrr

Have just come back from a computer sabbatical in which I was computer-less for a few days…which probably has helped me to deal with the drama that has evolved from trying to connect to ADSL. Have been driving the poor dude from my new ISP bananas (after I finally got through to him today) and he either feels very sorry for me or is determined to figure out the issue of why I can’t connect to the bastard and is actually coming on on Friday to see for himself what the situation is.
