I am having what is commonly called a "good day". I woke up, went to work, did a half day, came home and have done stuff. I worked on the car, spraying the rusty patches with Hammerite until I get some dry weather when I can actually treat it properly. Then it started raining, pants! So I abandoned that and came inside.

I've had some problematic bills pop up this month, mainly council tax and BT, unexpected really. Council tax was higher than I expected due to the council being a bit slow in setting everything up, so I've called them and rearranged my payments so that I have more time to make them. Ain't they nice? Nicer than Inverclyde Council, anyhow. BT have also agreed to cancel my direct debit for this month, then I'll make a payment when I get paid and set the d/d back up then.

Powergen have decided that they will re-estimate my bill, it's ludicrously high for the time period they were supplying me. I'm now just awaiting a new one.

I am happy today.
I was not happy last night.
More later, in another entry.

I need a new job.

The signs have been bubbling away for a while now but I've been ignoring them, or too busy to notice them. I'm unhappy at work, I'm unhappy away from work, it's taking over my life and causing me to wonder what on earth I'm doing here still, working in what works out to be pretty much the same job as I started 21mths ago as a stop-gap.

I don't know what I want to be doing, which doesn't help. I don't want to be in Customer Service any more. I want to be doing something vaguely interesting. If I can, I want to geek. I want something to stretch me, to make me think. Not something that involves saying the same things 100 times a day.

I was talking with Jane last night and she wangled it out of me. I didn't want to admit it - but I think I did really want to admit it. Just took a bit of dragging. Then I got a really nice card from her this morning which made me smile mightily.

Silly lady.

Behold the Oracle's wisdom:

Personality type: Clueless

You don't go to Starbucks much; when you do you just tag along with other people since you have nothing better to do. You would like to order a Tazo Chai Crème but don't know how to pronounce it. Most people who drink Large Hazelnut Mocha No Whip are strippers.

Also drinks: Wine coolers
Can also be found at: The mall

FAH! I used to drink coffee all the time. Looks like I know better than the oracle in this case.
