Happy days

Hi everybody!
A slow news day yesterday caused reporting on a study by a moron who thinks that yesterday was "mathematically proven to be the most depressing day of the year". This was meant to be due to all sorts of factors like the amount of light, the length of time till the next holiday, christmas debts etc.

I hate this guy's use of the word "depression" to describe this fad, and the pseudo-science that let this muppet get his 5 minutes of fame.

Anyway, today was a good day. First reaction at my new job that even remotely worked. My new computer at work arrived, so I've got a computer that actually works at a reasonable speed. My old laptop at work had 256 megabytes of RAM, but at rest (running Windows 2000 professional), even without any programs open, uses over 300 megs of RAM. My new computer has a gigabyte of RAM! I can actually run programs without everything grinding to a halt!

I woke up and my car was covered with a thick layer of ice. It was a real struggle to even open the door, and was chipping away at ice to clear the windows for 15 minutes.

It didn't matter. Today was a good day.

I don't know how much is due to life, and how much is due to the Prozac, but things are good.

I'm exhausted (my only bad side-effect from the anti-depressants) and I'm behind on the university work, but life is good.

Love
