Fed Up
Posted Oct 28, 2001
After a truly crap day, rounding off what was generally a fairly good week, I am not in a good mood.
Tonight, not only have I failed to update MSN IM (again!), but in the process, it has completely wiped IM from my PC.
It is currently failing to install MSN Explorer, whilst playing such aggravating music that I had to turn the sound off.
Little things pile on top of one another... I've had enough. I hate 'puters, I hate my job, I hate everything right now! Just want to run away from it all...

Lots to say
Posted Oct 14, 2001
There have been several journal entries I've wanted to post over the past few days, but I wouldn't want to overdo it now, would I? So I thought I'd try to compact it down into one succinct entry, which will doubtless fail to express the thoughts that I'd previously considered conveying.
Hmm... I seem to be off to a fairly predictable start then. The first paragraph has pretty much failed to say anything at all, and it looks like this second paragraph is going much the same way.
Or rather, went. So I'd better make more of an effort with this third one then. Really, I'm finding life rather more hectic than I seem to be able to cope with, especially with all the distractions I seem to be suffering from.
My mind is constantly wandering, things only seem to get achieved at the last minute, almost as a last resort. Admittedly, I've always been a procrastinator though. What I really need is a break, but I feel that if I stop for a moment, life will speed on ahead of me, and I'll never be able to catch up again.
One thing that I have been considering for some time is a break from h2g2. This in itself falls into the last category, as anyone who has found themself playing 'catch up' and reading backlog will know. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of getting involved in long conversations, and failing to provide the input into building the Guide that is essentially its backbone. More specifically, in the form of writing and reading Guide Entries, and in my case, Subbing; the things that attracted me and countless others here in the first place.
With all this in mind, there is every likelihood (if I can manage it!) that I may disappear from these halls soon, for the forseeable future. I have made several friends here whom I would not want to lose touch with, and spoken to many others whom I would like to continue chatting to. In fact, in all honestly, I would like to keep in touch with what's going on, even if I'm not 'here'!
If anyone feels the need to contact me (and doesn't already have my contact details), there is an e-mail address up on my space that I will continue to check, albeit at potentially irregular intervals. I'll be happy to hear from you, and may even manage to reply to mails within my current two-week-plus timescale.
Hmm... that sounds decidedly final now I re-read it. However, those who know me will also know I find making decisions rather difficult.
So I may still be sitting here years down the line...

Oh... I expect some may be consumed too.
To everyone who won't be there...

Down
Posted Sep 26, 2001
There's undoubtedly a general melancholy in the air. When people speak of 'The Great Depression' in future, I suspect they will be referring to the events of September 2001 and beyond.
Everyone I know, including me, seems to have troubles, and the current worry of war looming over us all is far from improving matters.
Don't know yet what my stars say for today, but the end of September is nigh.
