Shiny New PC

My new colleague, Sue, started today and she seems really nice. I think we should get on well. We worked out today that there are at least 7 Sue or Susans on our floor alone. We joked that it really dates a woman as Susan was the most popular girls name around the early to mid 1960's - cripes!

As part of the transitional budget provided by the LSC (as part of the merger costs) the College is getting all new computers and I got my lovely shiny new black one today, together with flat screen monitor and lovely quiet touch keyboard. My old key board was so dirty and caked in crumbs a small mammal could probably survive for a week in it!

Kept busy all today doing lots of audio typing which my boss had left me - he's away all week on an Inspection at another College. Didn't quite get to the end of the second tape so more tomorrow.

Posted a couple of books off to customers on Book Mooch www.bookmooch.com today and a good luck to my God Daughter Laura for her new life at University.

It has been very dull and rainy all day today - autumn has definitely arrived. I couldn't wait to get home and stick the fire on.

Actually had nice post this evening, two magazines - hoorah - so much nicer than bills.

Going to watch the last episode of Torn this evening which I'm really enjoying.
