A Broken Home

No, don't worry, I'm not going to inundate you with a lot of depressing stuff about how the family home has broken apart and, no, it hasn't been destroyed by volcano ash. Just everything in it, is broken. Today, I am typing from the local library and seeing as I haven't been paid yet, I can only afford to use it for 15 minutes. 5 of these minutes have been used loading up the internet which is as slow as my Nan in a 400 metre race, so I have a grand total of 10 minutes to speak to you before the computer copies my personal one at home, and switches itself off.

You see, that is the reason I am speaking to you from the corner of the local library. My laptop has died, (R.I.P), but my commitment to my mountanous amount of readers is paramount, so now I'm paying what money I have to update you with the boringness that is my life. Aren't I amazing? Please say yes.. I only have 7 minutes left! I suppose I'd better get on to something constructive..

Yep, everything in my house is broken. I have a laptop that refuses to switch on, a TV that refuses to turn off, another TV that has a screen that suggests an alien broadcast is about to appear and everything else has either snapped, (i.e. headphones), chipped, (mugs) and over-oiled or split cricket bats. Ok, chipped mugs aren't a huge deal but I couldn't think of anything else. I have 5 minutes left. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun. I just wish my laptop would stop being such a bigot.. (Where have I heard that word before..?)

Not put off by the fact that anyone could be looking over my shoulder or the strange man with a beard next to me could be reading this and then looking in horror as he sees I am typing about him, I am a tad reluctant to type anything too personal at the moment. And yes, a huge banner has just come across the screen reminding me I have 3 minutes remaining...

I have work tonight. The end of 9 days off, (albeit 2 of them being "ill"), I have almost forgotten how to do everything I had learnt at BP. I'm fairly sure I'll get back into the swing of things soon enough though and despite yesterday's claims that I was "looking forward to it", I now know I was stupid to suggest such a thing and of course, would much prefer another day off.

Ok, I have 1 minute left, so in danger of losing such a magnificent post, I will leave you all to get on with what you were doing. Beddoe, get back to programming you lazy sod.
