Blargh. Murphy. GO AWAY!
Philip speakers = kaput. First they go mono, silent, mono... then power plug pretends it's not plugged in. And everything needs wiggling.

Blender = kaput. Nooo! My precioussss milkssshakesss!! Again with the wiggling.

Laptop soundcard = kaput. Hangs pc randomly if audio played. Work output stinks without Demoscene music for zone. AGAiN with the wiggling!

Laptop = heading kaput. Dead LEDs and heating issues...

Now my big expensive steam cleaner just blew up, two months after the warranty expired & since they looked at it. Black smoke and sparks everywhere - mostly out the side right above the power button. Sounded like a rickshaw. The alternative is on my hands and knees, with a toothbrush.

This of course happens on the morning of an inspection. Called my land agent, and he said "Hmm, well, we'll have to kick you out."

Took me a second to realize he was messing with me. Like he said, they've seen the place often enough to know I'm good.

And next week come out my wisdom teeth, and I'll have to learn to cook things I'll be able to eat - don't know how to make soup.

All this has been happening within a tiny time frame, and with the move coming up I'm really low on tolerance. Applications that demand all sorts of obscure details (such as how many hairs you have in your left nostril) aren't helping, plus I worry about how they interpret references, the birds, incomes, etc. :(

So not coping so good. Haven't had enough patience, and haven't been able to get enough work done to maintain a positive mood.
