Very tired and fed up today. Not a lot really a lot I can say really. My legs are really aching today.

It's hard to stop being annoyed sometimes. When you're on edge in general, the things that you'd usually let pass can make you angry rather than just grating. Of course, removing the initial cause of the annoyance often helps, but when that cause is a continual and relentless annoyance which is pretty much outside your control then it is a little difficult to remove. And you cannot usually ignore it.

So, in that usual way that I do when annoyed, I've spent most of the day doing 'work' things. Which partly makes up for the fact that I did very little 'work' things over the week - mostly due to being annoyed... at work things.

The saying that 'no news is good news' was clearly coined by someone with the brain of a goldfish. Or someone who hasn't been in a situation where they dread the next news update not coming.

It's a pretty crappy time at the moment, and I've been feeling it quite a lot recently. Looking back on things over the last year, I'm pretty fed up with everything. I've managed to make a mess of some things, and work (to say the least) hasn't exactly gone about as well as it should. I have to ask the questions about what it is that I want, because at the there's really no likelihood of anything I want coming about. Each hope leads to more disappointment and frustration.

My drive box is working again! Whee! After much investigation and replacing software and hardware components I found a combination that fixed it. Replace the bridge board and everything's good. Yay. So I've now got a working video collection! Funny Dance Time!

And new boiler arrives tomorrow, so that's good.

However, this morning, yet again, I wake up annoyed and frustrated at things.

I'm tired today; had a long day out, seeing Dave Ward.

I'm watching Journey To The Center Of The Earth tonight, 'cos I'm tired but I can't sleep. It's silly and fun, but not too bad.

It's a whole new month. How much crap can this month bring me ? My cold's slowly going away, so that's a good thing. But I'm still frustrated by work and despite being off ill, I was still in work again today - partly to use the shower, and partly so that I'd seen someone. Anyone. It's just very lonely at the best of times and now it's like a ghost town. I've always been haunted by ghosts, but they're usually of my own making, not figurative ones.

I've finally decided that I need to report the problems I'm having with my drives. So I've posted a message to the linux-ide maillist in the hope that someone clever has some ideas. Short of replacing the bridge board, I'm a bit stumped.
