Bloody Blogger

Apart from just after midnight yesterday morning, I've been unable to get onto Blogger all weekend. Not just my blog but any blog. Occasionally it would let me view the blog, but never alter anything or post anything new. It's not like I have much to tell, but that's not the point.

I chatted with Tim on Facebook on Saturday to ask how and where he was. He is now at home, having had a horrific journey apparently though I don't know the details but he is feeling okay but stuck in bed. He has yet to get used to his crutches and, I am guessing, feels a bit delicate with his brain only partially protected for the time being. He wasn't up to company, so I have not been to see him. I hope he is feeling more like himself once he has spent some more time at home, and I hope there is someone there all the time to look after him, but that they are also giving him the space that I'm sure he needs too.

Today I picked up my free PC from work. As I think I mentioned before it is the computer that we used at work with the old company, but which didn't belong to them. My boss, as probably one of his last acts in that capacity, gave the computer to me. It is at least 3 years old (and covered in all that time's accumulated dust) but is nonetheless a FREE computer. Who was I to turn it down. He also included 3 free speakers and the flat-screen monitor. I had already brought home the wireless keyboard and mouse on Friday morning. I have checked it and wired it all up, and, yes it does work. It has a bootleg copy of Microsoft Windows so keeps coming up with an annoying message asking if I want to install a proper one (which I probably will do eventually). It is not yet connected to the internet as I have to get a disk off of Kevin to do that. I will endeavour to chase him for it tomorrow, then I can at last free my laptop from being permanently attached to the internet hub, as it is now.

Other than my brief trip to work and a short conversation on the phone with my boss, popping to the local shops and the occasional "Hello" to Penny (my normally drunk housemate), I have not spoken to a soul in person this weekend (Frank, I'm afraid doesn't count). I am bored. Even Bejeweled has lost its appeal and is just annoying me now (though I still play it, who knows why?).
I have one more day off and then I am back to work, this time working for my new (and old) employers. Lets see if they sack me again!!
