"Every sperm is special..."
Jan. 6th, 2006 10:09 amThank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday! There were too many of you to thank individually, which is really, really cool. :D
My father gave me Monty Python's The Meaning of Life on DVD for my birthday, and then watched the first twenty minutes or so with me. I definitely am a fan of The Crimson Permanent Assurance, but the rest was pretty funny too. I'll have to find some time this weekend to finish it. I'd forgotten how funny John Cleese is.
Today I'm calling Collège Montmorency to find out if they still have any space available for the emergency dispatch course in March. I shall be putting money aside every week in order to pay for it. Feel free to remind me, as I'm not very good at that sort of thing.
That's another thing I'll be doing this year, is revisiting my finances in a serious way. I've been slowly but surely creeping my way out of financial badness since I had no job nearly two years ago now, but I seem to be the queen of financial setbacks.
So, this year is also the Year of Financial Responsibility. That's going to start with, hopefully, minimal savings, as well as finding a job that pays better, and paying more attention to where I spend my money. I live on a pretty tight budget as it is, but I think it would behoove me to pay more attention to the details of what I'm spending and when.
Meh. I hate dealing with money.

Dammit! Sympatico deleted an email I sent to myself which had the only copy of a post I'd been working on for Bluebook for after this mission.
Fuck fuck fuck! I thought it would be safe if I sent it to myself by email, but apparently I was wrong. God dammit! I worked really hard on that and now unless by some miracle I get my computer back with all my email information intact (doubtful if I know anything about the computer repair people at the university), then I'll have to start the whole damned thing over again.
And I repeat: shit!
I hate having to rewrite these things.

Well, it's a slow day at work, so I went and put most of my email into folders in the hopes that Sympatico won't be deleting any other important stuff. Of course, it's mostly too late as all the important emails I sent to myself were on the day that Sympatico deleted.
How much do I hate technology? I like working with it, but I seriously cannot seem to get a fucking break with my computers, or my car for that matter. Maybe I should start looking into subsistence farming and cutting myself off from the technological world entirely. :P
