Jun. 18th, 2004 09:52 amIt’s cold today, it was so lovely and warm, but not anymore and I don’t like it. I have a job interview in a few hours, I need that job. I think I’ll get it, it’s at an estate agency and much better than a shop assistant, which is what most people at my age work. Also, I’ve never worked before, so it would be a nice change and of course there is the money. It starts in September, which would be perfect, as I won’t be here during the summer. But I am still a bit nervous, have to decide what to wear, I need to look smart, as a good first impression is important.
Have no real Internet, on my laptop it doesn’t connect at all, on the computer which is where I am now, it does for a bit less than a minute before id disconnects again. It is probably a virus, there doesn’t seem to be another option, and I hate stupid viruses. So, all I was able to do yesterday was to connect, load a chapter and then again and again. I must have connected about a 100 times yesterday, I hope that doesn’t do anything to the computer. At least I have been able to catch up with some reading, which is nice, but I also want to read my flist, and that is next to impossible, and really frustrating, especially if there are cut tags, as I have to repeat the connect to AOL, hear the welcome message that makes me want to throw things at the computer, and if there are any images, watch helplessly until half a picture is loaded and the hear the ‘Goodbye’. Yeah, I know I can turn the sound off, but that kind of defeats the objective of self torture, so the sound stays on.
Angie, I have nearly beta-ed Bedfellows, as it really doesn’t need much, will email it to you, but not in an attachment, as that way you might get my virus, and that would be totally horrible, if you think you shouldn’t get any emails from me, tell me here.
I finally finished reading Windfallen yesterday, as I waited for the last few chapters to come out, so I could them together, and then there were exams. I will write more when I recover, but I just have to say that it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever read, and the ending was absolutely perfect, and in my opinion the happiest it could possibly be, it was just so full with hope. I will stop now, as this is getting long and I don’t won’t to make it spoilery, also haven’t had breakfast yet.
