Oh, today is shaping up to be just wonderful. First some drunk twit decides five on a Thursday morning is the perfect time to start singing Auld Laung Syne under my fucking window, and now I've broken the second thermos in three weeks, this one while it was filled with coffee, which subsequently got splashed on my leg. Note: ow. And it's barely gone nine ...

I need to figure out how I managed to lug my old thermos back and forth to school every day for two years, back in the day, without it breaking, because this is getting fairy ridiculous. Gah.

Aaand now Telewest are not letting me through to an operator to pay. This just so unbelievably isn't my day ...

After much swearing at Telewest and many exclamations of "I am TRYING to GIVE YOU PEOPLE MONEY, you UTTER BASTARDS, WORK WITH ME, HERE!" I finally got through to an operator by employing the sneaky method of pressing the "other option" option, and managed to pay my bill, yay. (Now if only I could get the damned ebilling to work, that would be grand. HATE!)

I've spent the last four and a half hours writing The Completely And Utter Idiot's Guide To My Job. No, seriously. It has many screenshots and step-by-babystep instructions so detailed you could plant a ten-year-old in my chair for the week I'll be gone and they'd do just fine.

I also finally sent my wish list for my birthday/Christmas/New Year to my parents. It's basically the one I posted here, with all the fanfic stuff taken out, which means it consists of a link to my amazon wish list, yarn, long striped socks, and a cowboy hat. I'm pretty sure I heard my mum WTF all the way over here, heh.

Also, PSAish: Due to being busy and other practical problems, expect your Christmas cards and presents some time in January. Sigh. Next year, I swear to god, I'm going to start buying these things throughout the year so I'll have them all ready by November. Dammit.

Moral dillemma of the day:

Dad: So which do you prefer, a gift, or a small gift and money? Because I'd been looking at your amazon wish list and I could get one of those digital cameras over here, and ..."

Digicam. Money. Digicam. MONEY! *dillemns*

In other news, the TV gods have apparently decided to give me a birthday present as well. I have Tuesday off, and on Monday evening, there's a L&O marathon from 8 till 3, and then on Tuesday itself there's The Best Of Live *, and a L&O:SVU marathon, and wheeeeee!
