Jul. 24th, 2001 04:31 pmGrr, today.
Actually, today's been fine up until now. Work was verging on slightly dull, but it was Micross numbers stuff so not that bad, and also Radio 2 was pretty good today (the song they repeated too much was 'All The Way To Reno' by REM which I quite like). I was pretty cheery when I got home, despite forgetting to bring my lunchbox and having my dad run out after me complaining about it (not *with* it, of course). Had an enormous slice of melon (quarter of a Honeydew melon, nice...) and still cheery. Started doing computer stuff, then my mum came up to get her email. Fine with it until she wanted me to print out Word docs - Word always takes ages to load and slows everything down horribly. So I moaned a little but she thought it was just 'cos I was talking online, but the person I was talking to was idle at that point anyway. And I didn't mind too much printing stuff out from Word then 'cos it wasn't going to take that long. And then the *print cartridge ran out*, and we couldn't find the other one, and I got really annoyed and worked up 'cos we have to go for a walk this evening and My Precious Computer Time was being interrupted. This is a *not good* attitude to have. So I tried to print it out in a colour 'cos the colour cartidge was fine, and picked *the colour* that all the changes had been highlighted in, even more grrr! and then my mum got scared and disappeared. And now I'm angry with myself about it. Grr-ness.
