A Bug's Life

What obsolete skill am I? According to Quizilla, I am ( Gregg Shorthand )

Quite apt, given my new job.

Job is going quite well - the first two weeks have been taken up with the usual hecticness of first-week-of-term, complicated by the fact that I'm starting mid-year and am not registered as a student so the computer people don't quite know how to treat me. I have been collecting logins for the various systems I need to use (where lecturers post up their notes, slides etc) - I'm up to four so far!

Felt very rough this weekend, so no Picocon. Nothing specific, I think it's just my immune system saying "You've spent the last two weeks crammed into lecture theatres with large numbers of teenagers. What did you expect??!!" It has spent the weekend retreating and regrouping, and possibly press-ganging other cells into its service. "I was a perfectly ordinary nerve cell, just popped into The Bug's Head for a pint, and when I woke up I was here in this lymph node, dressed as a leukocyte!"

Bit of humour there. Arf, arf.
