See you soon!

We counted the overseas special votes today and now I'm finished; yay! I hope I'm not sorting and counting votes in my sleep. :-P I shall enjoy being off work again though I really need to get a proper contract. I won't hold my breath though; Christmas is coming and a lot of people probably won't hire till February. Sigh.

I don't have much other news, except that The Pretender made me cry, and Mythbusters made a lead balloon that went up.

Goodnight, and see you the other side of the LJ server move!

Good night! Let's hope the move goes well....!

It appears to have! :-D

I'll bet you are sick to death of vote counting. Good luck with finding a contract. You are so specialised and brilliant! Which makes it hard to find an employer match ... so I'm thinking of you!

How can I survive a day without my LJ?

Thank you!

Luckily I only had to survive a couple of hours, and I've had to go without it all day while doing the post-election work so I was in practice.

Good night, good fortune with job-hunting, and I've got my fingers crossed that the LJ move goes smoothly.

We're back!

It seems to have, but it's rather slow, for me anyway. But it's back! [hugs LJ and LJ friends]

That Mythbusters is a classic. And, aww, which Pretender made you cry?

Good luck on the job front, but, hey, enjoy the time off while you have it. :)

See you when LJ's back...

'Under the Reds', the one with two comatose Jacobs and a pillow. Dammit, but when Jarod started to cry when they pulled the plugs, so did I. I think it brought back memories of me telling the vet it was time for Tessa to go. Anyway, in the Sydney scenes, I kept saying, "Oh, poor tragic Sydney!" which I had to explain to Greg. :-P

And it's back, but rather slow.

Oh, yes. That is such a Tragic Sydney episode. *sniffle* I don't think I actually cried, but that scene with Jarod did just rip my heart out.

I think it may be getting a bit faster since it came back up, but it's kind of hard to tell.

Well done on finishing the count, even if the outcome wasn't all that you desired! I hope a good job comes along soon.

With any luck, the worst of the move will be over by the time you get up. I don't know how lucky we'll be, though!

Thanks, but I'll settle for a tolerable job, which is harder than it ought to be.

It took a few hours longer than that and seems rather slow, but perhaps they haven't got all the servers up yet. It should be faster.

Good luck, my friend - look, we are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)

So we are! It's being a bit sluggish for me though. Maybe they're still getting all their new servers on line.

They said it would be slow for a while while various things got caught up.
