Bugger
What a rotten time to be computerless. Applying for new jobs is a pain with no CV. And I'm suddenly saddled with the chore of organising a DVT teaching presentation.
Blast it. I need a new computer. that's another 100 quid down the drain. sigh.
Okay for the computer freaks out there : Athlon 2600 or intel P4? What processor / mobo combination should I get? 1 month to go before I go home. Maybe I should just wait till I'm home to buy a cheap combination.
In other news, I have fri, sat and sun off. Whee. Now if only I had something to do with all that spare time aside from apply for new jobs.
In still other news : Feeling - listless. Generally upset. Do blokes get PMS? Work ethic at work is severely compromised by nurses treating me like a newbie dolt. I had a Skull XR cancelled three times yesterday despite my consultant's blessings because the paeds A&E nurses took it into their heads to go on a "unnecessary radiation" crusade. What should have taken half an hour took 5 hours. The patient breached, and God Only knows what they filled in as the reason.
And I was just trying to do my job! :\ Perhaps next time I'll just keel over and be an unsafe doctor, to pander to the nurses superiority complexes.
the capital You is far from my mind at the moment. I... don't know what I want. I'd like a bit more snow. The ten seconds worth today was pathetic. I'd like a bit more money, the band 1A I'm barely scraping is pathetic. I'd like a working computer, I'd like to go home for a fortnight of pure, unadulterated rest. I'd like a beach somewhere warm. I'd like the time to sit down with all the people I've ever loved and thank them. Bridge the gaps I've made. Repair the holes in the bridges.
Okay, rant for the day is over. Back to work. :(
