graculusHaving moved my computer downstairs the new HomeHub thing then decided that even 6 feet was too far to successfully broadcast a signal across - clearly the brief period when it did work was an utter fluke - and so I have now resorted to the ethernet cable. Which is great because it's apparently giving me 6Mb, but may spoil me utterly for ever going back to wireless when I get around to buying another router.
In other news, there is the reorganisation. Can I just say that while I've revelled at times in being a team of one, particularly since it lets me out of tedious team meetings at ungodly hours, the downside of it is that when they draw up plans for reorganisation it's very easy for a post like that to drop off the map. As mine has. Hmmmph. Anyway, I'm already due to be meeting with one of the senior managers on Friday and who knows what bollocks she is going to come out with. Not that I think I'm really for the chop, but who knows what asshattery can happen?
I've also given up on the concept of moving house, even though it vexes me to get up before the sun rises and get home long after it's set, but that's a winter problem in general. Frankly, I hate moving house - there was a three year period where I moved annually and I loathed the experience every single time and vowed not to do it again for as long as possible - and while I hate the commute, I hate packing up and moving (not to mention the idiocy involved in actually selling the house) even more. Plus within walking distance from my current house I have a convenience store, a library, a pizza place, a chip shop, a shop that sells ferret food and a bus stop to town. Within 5 minutes drive I have a 24-hour Asda and a post office and another library. I'm currently of the opinion that if I cannot replicate this set-up to some significant extent, I don't want to play. ;)
Lastly, is tonight's SG-1 a Daniel-free episode? Because if it is then I'll just rewind the tape...
