Not a good week in work for various reasons, including a total screwup by payroll that saw everyone being paid a day late. Not good at all. Many people caught out by it. There's a new head of the department starting soon, which may or may not be a good thing. Interesting times ahead.
Sold a few more things on Ebay, including the Merc, which should be going today if the buyer can find the place. The cash is going towards the bits that the Focus needs, the blowing exhaust, a battery, the noise from the suspension and four new tyres - the ones on it are shit and the fronts are the wrong size.
One thing that I don't like about the Focus is that the little 14" wheels, which look too small and crap. I saw a nice set of 16" Mondeo wheels which would fit that had been painted anthracite grey which would have looked very nice on it, but no chance for such frivolous things for the forseeable future.
The house is going to have some work done this coming week, due to roof leaks. The useless chimney on one end is coming off and the roof extended over where it was. The weather has been really stupid recently but not as bad as some places on the news.
Typing this on my Dell Mini 9 which is a great little machine with only two flaws, the glossy screen, and a rather stupidly designed keyboard. It was recently treated to an SSD upgrade to 16gb which allowed it to run Windows 7 but it's currently on Ubuntu 9.10 which runs very well on it. It originally shipped with Windows XP.
