Life's little hassles

Boy, has it been a long time since last I wrote. In that time I had to experience writing yet again, selection criteria for a job that it is only contract. The good thing is I got the contract, which means two years full-time work I can depend upon. Bad thing is, in the meantime my computer crashed and I was unable to save this version of my selection criteria.

About computers, I can't decide if I hate them or love them. I hated being without it for what was essentially 4-6 weeks. This was due to trying to fix it myself, via phone with brother, then having to put it in for repairs. This took longer than expected (a week) and hard drive replaced, then Windows wasn't loaded properly so it had to go back. The computer techs had trouble loading updates so it was there for a week. Upshot was they were able to save most of my data e.g. irreplaceable photos, down shot they didn't save any of my word documents.

I have to give a big thankyou to my brother for providing computer support over the phone. It definitely put him out, what being a father of a young son and busy with his life, but it was greatly appreciated.
