Well, the Royal reversed the NSF charge and will be returning the money from the post-dated cheque and mailing me the cheque as well. So the bank side of it is sorted out. It only actually took 15 minutes in the branch to get it all sorted out, but with waiting for the bank to open in the first place and walking to work because of the transit strike I ended up being two hours late for work. That's two hours I'm never going to get back. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of tiny knives being thrust into my flesh.

Yup, I'm liking this regular work thing. Today was nothing but silly problems with the development servers and I got nothing much accomplished. If I was still independent I would have made no money today but with this "job" thing I still made money. Even with getting in late because of the post-dated cheque fiasco I still got six and a half hours in today. I'll work an extra half hour each day this week to make the time back that I lost this morning and I'll still be able to polish the week off with forty hours.

I figured out how to do my off-line LiveJournal client and got it half written last night. It's a little Lotus Notes application that is small enough to live on a floppy. Because my job is Lotus Notes development I can easily disguise it as work to the casual passer-by. Not that I'm not going to actually do my job. I fully intend to impress the shit out of few people tomorrow by doing what I always do - making things do stuff that nobody thought they could do.

In other news I have now been unequivocally flirted with twice in the past three days. In fact I will go so far as to say I was hit on at the club on Sunday night. It's nice to feel attractive even if I'm not interested.

And of course Tharsis loves me. He's sitting on the monitor getting his tail in the way as I type.

So anyway, here's today's comic, and now it's time to finish off my little LJ application for tomorrow then off to bed. I was a little too pissed off to sleep well last night.
