At the moment, I feel so relaxed and de-stressed it feels like such a shame to have to be going back to work next week.

Even though I haven’t actually done anything with my time off (unless you count completing the main storyline in Fable 2) despite my wonderful plans to find a new job, update various websites, migrate everything to a new host, start losing weight, start working on a business and, I don’t know, starting thinking about actually getting a social life.

Anyway… good times.

While I was outside having a cigarette, one of my neighbours asked me whether I was cold standing outside in only a t-shirt. Rather than saying good morning, or no, I starting looking at my arm in fascination, completely unintentionally, like it had been grafted onto my body by some unknown person during the night. :wacko:

Other than that, I think that last night was the first night in months that a) I’ve slept for 8 hours straight and b) I’ve woken up when the sheets and pillows aren’t strewn across the room.

And I’ve been issued a new product key… Apparently the one I have has already been registered.

As a side note… I really need to set up my custom smilies again, which I lost after upgrading Wordpress.

I’m strange. It’s ok, I’ll readily admit that. I’m the kind of person who will be uncomfortable warm when the temperature is below 10°C and you’ve set the aircon at 24. My ideal temperature is like it is now, around 5°, as long as the sun is out. I can’t sleep at night unless I have the fan constantly blowing at me, and I have both the windows in my room open.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m only ever going to quit smoking if I’m jobless. I’m currently 4 days through my 2 week holiday, and I still half a pack of cigarettes left from Sunday. Most of which were only half finished anyway. I normally smoke around 10 a day.

Windows Vista is becoming a great pain in the arse for me. Generally I’ve found it quite usable to be honest, but I can’t get the damn thing to activate. It seems to switch between two error codes, 0xC004C003 (activation server determined the specified product key is in use) and 0xC004F061 (product key can only be used for upgrading, not for clean installations)

I’ve tried to run another upgrade installation, but I get an error message about my product key being unable to be validated.
