Oy, Vortex. I hope things get better from here.
{{Fred Pete and Hubs}} {{soft scritches for Rigatoni}}
Back at work today, but still basking in the warm glow of my birthday and all my wonderful friends. ::mwah::
My new roomie is moved in, for the most part. Things are good so far. Plus, our landlord (who's my friend) has offered to "be the landlord" if I need it on anything. Hopefully I won't.
Oh no, Vortex! What happened?
Vortex - eek. Does not sound like fun.
Hey. The library staff got off their arses and confirmed that my course has been extended. Apparently I rant well in a crisis. That, or they got shouted at by disability services. Apologies for the inconvenience, we have renewed your books and cancelled your fines, they say. Result!

Shiny. I miss living with flatmates. As much as I love living with The Girl, I had a lot of fun with two friends in particular who each lived with me for about a year. We did rather a lot of sitting up til 2am drinking wine.
I was about to come here and complain how I don't wanna pack my stuff because I don't feel like it, or doing anything at all, really.
Fred, I'm so, so, so, so deeply sorry for you and your cat. I'm sorry you're at work, and I'm sorry you can't be next to him now. And damn, I'm actually with tears now. {{}} One day, when I'll have the fortune to meet you, I wanna hear all about your cats, OK?
Leeds University department FAIL. Tomorrow is the official end-date of my course. I have a two-month extension on my dissertation, so they were supposed to re-enrol me. It looks as though they did not, although they claim they did, because the library is demanding all my books back Right Now. Handy, when I'm four hours away. No one seems to know what's going on, and I'm trying to deal with it over e-mail because I am way too anxious for phones today. Oh and the library also gave me a £37 fine during the time I was too ill to ring and renew my books, when I had swine flu. They say I can bring in a sick note and they'll consider reducing the fine. I say, I'm four hours away! I get no reply. Bloody idiots.
Hey - are you sure you haven't switched between Leeds University and HUJI? Because that sounds so similar to HUJI. And tomorrow start phase 2 of schedule planning (there are 4 stages. Don't ask. Each has its own stupidity to handle. Wish me tranquilizers, full info about everything, sanity and above all, luck).
The Matilda Essay was wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us, David.
Seska, I'm glad the library got a clue.
Too soon to tell how well new roomie L and I will get along, but she seems to be clear so far on issues I've had in the past.
OMG, this day is half over already and I have solid meetings this afternoon. How did that happen? Do not like.

Are you doing the time warp again, smonster? No more jumps to the left!
What Calli said. Group sex! Group sex!
Oh, Fred. Poor Rigatoni. Poor you. {{{{}}}}} as many as you need.
Seska, I'm glad the library issue got straightened out.
Shir, good luck on the schedule planning, and finding the motivation for packing.
smonster, its too bad you can't have cabana boys and girls bringing you coffee and tea during the meetings.
