This week seems to be one of those weeks where the world decides to remind you how much you are *not* the centre of the universe.

I've managed to waste pretty two much two whole nights arsing around with computers at home only to come to the conclustion that, after buying a new wirless PCMCIA card, it's actually the (only) slot in my laptop that is knackered, *not* my old card, tsk.

And talking of computer-related activities, at work GX decided to hand us approx 20,000 duplicated call tickets, 60% of which have already been billed to customers. And they were all processed non-sequentially in the same batch as some legitimate tickets. Guess who's spent a day and a half manually correcting our database, arranging refunds and mailing apologies to customers...

On top of that I'm *still* waiting for confirmation on my remortgage. Although I have a firm offer from Halifax on the table, the lawyers they're using seem to be about a intelligent as lobotomised turkeys and I'm still waiting for them to provide the correct redemption statement and completion date. *sigh*

Also this week it seems my prospective (rescheduled) date appears to have disappeared in a puff of smoke. Disappointing indeed. (Although, having said that, also sad to say that it's not actually that disappointing as it means I can devote more time this weekend to Getting Stuff Done. )

And I just kicked my drink over.

And the light in my fridge has broke.

Goddamnit.
