Getting quite excited now!

My new laptop is almost with me! It is due to be delivered tomorrow. Had a rather ridiculous conversation with the supplier however, regarding said delivery.

Me: Your system has my computer marked as shipped to delivery company. When will it arrive?

Them: Oh, that depends on the delivery company.

Me: But I thought I was meant to receive a phone call to arrange delivery.

Them: Not with this delivery company.

Me: So how will I know when it will arrive?

Them:  Well probably tomorrow, or maybe the next day. You'll need to be there to accept delivery.

Me: Excuse me? Ar e you saying I will have to take a day off work "in case" the delivery company turn up tomorrow? And if not I will have to do the same on Friday?

Them: Er... well if you aren't there they will leave a card and you can call them to rearrange delivery on another day.

Me: But surely there has to be a way to find out if it will come tomorrow! You can understand my situation, can't you?

Them: Well, I'll take your details and see what I can do. 

Last I heard...

So I found out the delivery company and rang them. I explained the situation. After some hysterical laughter, she picked herself up off the floor and gave me the consignment order and both phone numbers for the depot. I can ring them in the morning and find out what time they'll be in my area. If I have any problems I can ring her back.

*Sigh* I don't ask for more than half a braincell. It's nice when you get a whole brain at work!  Anyway, really looking forward to the iminent arrival. Now I only wish I could find out what is happening with my phone!

Students are in using the library. One of them just got out sheet music and started practicing piano fingering on the study desk. Air piano? Think I might have to keep an eye here.

No writing news. V. depressing. Got some more of the Penitent edited last night. The "was"es will die! Oh yes.

Oh NO!

I have just realised what a terrible idea it truly is to put on Singin' in the Rain "just for five minutes before I sit down to work on the novel". It has sucked me in and there is no escape.

People? I ain't people!
