10.04.08: Boys Clubs and Drowned Laptops

So, not a huge amount to blog about today.  I didn't blog yesterday because I was getting over my 13 hour day, which I was awake for 21 hours (11am until 8am the following day).  So, apart from the fact that we stole the whole concept from Asda, it's quite an interesting idea.  Basically, we get to make people happy by asking them what they want, and how we can make the store a nicer place to work.  The idea being that happier workers means we cut down on people leaving.  Or as Alan put it - "happy workers means happy staff which means happy money.

But something tragic has happened.  Last night I was busily trying to install Ubuntu onto my mother's laptop (she's sick of viruses on Windows) and I stood up too quickly, which was connected to an external hard disk.  And the cable had been wrapped around a half full cup of tea.  And fell right onto my laptop.  So, I now have no laptop.  Well, I have my mother's 1.3ghz laptop which I can't install web design software onto, and the eee PC, which this blog is currently being written on.  Although the upshot is that my 8gb HCSD card arrived today and is currently installed in the eee PC.  So for now, this blog is going to be a little more basic.  Depending on how good my accounts are, I might get a new laptop in a few days, or it might take a few weeks.  Who knows!
