06:30am
 Entire family has been away in France for 1 week now. Cat woke me up 
by scratching  on my bedroom door. Got up, pulled on clothes in a haze. 
Washed.

06:38am
 Fed the cats and made bowl of Weetabix. Made a black coffee (it's 
called Folgers, does anybody else drink it??).

06:40am
 Continued reading The Dead Zone by Stephen King.

07:30am
 Finished The Dead Zone. Not bad but nowhere near as good (or as long) 
as "IT" - which I class as the best book I've ever read.

07:30am
 Started trying to work out why "Worms" has not been working forthe 
last 3 weeks.

08:20am
 After re-installing Worms three times and removing every resident
program from memory one at a time I discovered that it was my mouse
blanker that was the problem. Played worms for an hour.

09:30am
 Stacked dishwasher and turned it on. Took out rubbish. Found half a 
pigeon outside the back door - a present from my cats. Other half most 
probably laying somewhere around the house. Don't you just 
love suprises?

09:32am
 Opened mail:
 1) Bank statement - £00.61 c (just ordered a modem, now skint).
 2) Postcard from sister, weathers great, bitch.
 3) Socks arrived from "Littlewoods Home Shopping group".
 4) Letter from Centrex Computer Systems:

 Dear Mr Spadaccini
   Thankyou for your application regarding the position of Junior
Systems Analyst with our company. We regret to inform you that due to 
your lack of work experience and formal qualifications in this
field you will not be required to attend an interview.
 We will however bear your application in mind should a suitable
position arise in the future.....blah blah blah.

 5) Letter from college reminding me of my AS Level Computing exam that 
I'm due to sit. Not bad timing considering I only took it last Tuesday.

09:40am
 Installed Flashbak onto HD using assigns. For some reason I now 
get all the animation - I used to get text instead in some situations.

10:10am
 Walked into Bournemouth to see if "Game" had anything new in. I wasn't
shocked at the result. That's 2 hours wasted.

12:30am
 Got back and made a curry for lunch. Spent 10mins eating it and then
20mins on the bog getting rid of it.

13:00pm
 Phoned MegaTronix to ask why my 28,000 modem hadn't arrived. They told
me that they had none left - even though I had reserved one by phone! 
Got ready to shout until I heard the words "send", "US Robotics", 
"38,600bps" and "no extra charge".
 Said "Thankyou" at a rate of about 20 times a second for the next 
minute. Put down phone. Did a little dance.

13:10pm
 Got phone call from Sorcerer asking if me modulator/de-modulator had
arrived. Relayed above information. His reply  has been withheld due to
illigality and plain non-existance of most words.

13:30pm
 Wrote this article. Considered re-naming it to a morning in the life 
of... but couldn't be arsed.

 Now read this text 6205 times and you'll have a pretty fair impression
of my entire life. If any body else has a life this boring then I
strongly recommend commiting suicide. I would have done so already but
my mum insists on keeping corks on the end of all the sharp objects in 
the house.

 They say that it isn't easy being perfect but I seem to manage it OK
