First news story is that sometime this afternoon Lappy died. :( Well, it was getting a little old and cranky, so at ten to five I left work and headed for Curry's and picked up a smart new lappy for less than £400. I'm not sure if it will be worth trying to get the old lappy fixed but in the mean time I'm going to start downloading software that I had on the old one onto this nice shiny new one. Most of the stuff I had was free, so there's no problem there.

I've already got AVG and Live Messenger, so that's the basics sorted!

Next, the really good news. This afternoon a job offer dropped onto my desk. A job at the Academy Media Centre doing exactly the same job as I'm doing at the moment, yet at a higher pay grade. I have previously stated that I would like to get out of Graphics/Repro, but this is just too good to be true. Good words have been put forward for me by my boss and, provided I put in my application before Thursday, I should expect to have a nice cosy chat with my prospective employers.

Fingers crossed, folks! :D
