Diary of an up and coming sociopath

Well, the new hard drives go here on the projected date. Later today or tomorrow I shall be installing said drives and beginning the brain-numbing task of an all-new, all-different windows installation.

Today I skipped Discrete Maths because it was entirely about “Eularian Trails” and “Hamiltonian Cycles”, both of which I’ve been well aware of for many years now. Instead, I went up to Uni and got my project form signed. I was looking for the room “DM37″ and spent a good 15 minutes walking up and down the Darcy building trying to figure out the numbering system. Eventually, I found the room I was after, through a side door, down a corridor, right, left, through some doors which initially appeared to be maintainance doors, up some stairs and then into a small cupboard which turned out to be a huge office. I swear sometimes, this Uni exists in part in a completely different dimension, externally the building doesn’t even seem to have 2 floors. I keep expecting to open a door and find a snowy wonderland inside, or perhaps Dr. Who relaxing with his robotic dog.

Just after I got back, David and I kind of dealt with some kind of electricity-board based imposter. I’m not entirely sure what he was after but between his accent and gibberish talk of “upgrading the meter to a new tariff” and whatnot I have a slight belief that he is in fact trying to forcibly convert us to another company. The bastard.

Following this, I decided to put the day to use and finished off “The Land of Mist”. I can’t say I was that impressed by it, to be honest. It became boring whenever Challenger wasn’t involved in the action, and could have probably benefitted from being made shorter. Also, it was a little too obviously influenced by Doyle’s apparant infatuation with “spiritualism” during the time of writing it. Anyway, that’s all the Challenger stuff out the way, I asmit I lost a bit of steam towards the end of it, but now I’m back on track and I believe I’ll read some Jules Verne next. Fittingly, tonight Nicola and I are going to see LoEG, which should be cool.
