It’s been a busy, draining, frustrating week. Unfortunately I can’t go into what’s bugging me, because I’ve made a policy of not giving specifics of my job on the web.  Suffice it to say, some customers are driving me batty!  Worked eight hours a day Mon-Thurs, almost twelve hours Fri, eight hours Sat, two on Sun, and today - well, I started work at nine am, and just got home at midnight. Taking a quick moment to leave an update, because there’s a very real chance I’ll have to do the same thing tomorrow.

Maybe I’ll get some sleep for my birthday;)

My great-aunt died this weekend.  It wasn’t a big surprise, because she’s been ill, but we’re off for the funeral and I won’t have net access for several days.  Be back online Fridayish.

I won’t be responding to any email or IMs (or comments in moderation - the threshold is pretty high, so if you comment and it doesn’t show up, it’s probably waiting for me to get back) for the next several days, as I’ll be out of town and without computer access.  Joy, I didn’t get a chance to take care of that site issue I emailed you about; I haven’t noticed any problems, so we’re probably okay anyway, but if you want to deal with it while I’m away, that’s okay too.

Anyway, Merry Christmas, everyone!

Pearl is broken.

I’m depressed.

I don’t want to talk about it.

ICQ is being a pain about my account; I may have to abandon it.  It will allow me to login to ICQ2Go, but not to ICQ.com or through Trillian, and ICQ2Go won’t let me send.  Yahoo and AIM may soon be the only IM methods I continue to use.

MSN is being difficult, too, only in the sense that some of my personal security programs have identified Microsoft’s servers as a threat, and I’d rather give up MSN than my security programs.
