Sod it!

Current Tune is (Steady as she Goes by The Racontours)

Guess where I am? On a train….supposedly heading towards Lichfield, but, once again, due to the ineptness of Railtrack, the main line down through Lichfield is shut and we are heading via Birmingham. But we are not heading via New Street, oh no, to make matters even worse they have decided not to stop the train at New Street but to take us all to International instead. That adds another hour onto the journey time.

I doubt that I will make it to the depot much before 10. Given the fact that I wanted to be there for 7am it seems the day has been wasted.

Hopefully they will have it sorted out for tomorrow. Every single holiday they insist on giving themselves too much work to get through. They would be much better giving themselves easily achievable targets and that way they don't piss off thousands of passengers on the first day after the work.

Weekend was quiet. I spent most of it asleep. Obviously my body decide to give up on the idea of 14 hour days each day.

I can see this turning into another one of those long rambles as there is very little to do on the train other than type. I suppose I could watch the DVD that is is the player, but it is Serenity and a little too much of a charge about movie for this time in the morning. I will stick with the music and the typing instead.

I downloaded Open Office rather than pay Microsoft £80 for something that should have come with the damn computer. Open Office does everything that you would want of a word processor. In the end, I suppose Works does as well, but I could never get the hang of it's habit of not being able to read funny formats. I haven't looked at the spreadsheet yet, but it should function ok as a basic number cruncher.

It's bucketing down with rain and not looking like a good day. Oh well, I only hope tomorrow is a bit better.

I spent all day yesterday fighting with Nobby and playing racing games on the X BOX. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to drive a car whilst you have a cat plastered across you eyes because that's where he has decided he will sleep for the next 10 mins. So you think..”ok, leave him there and I will move over here”….nope, that doesn't work either because then HE moves as well.
