Daemon with a halo. Heavy metal mod. Many other contradictions.
I’m still unable to write about oncology almost 12 hours after I opened my PC with the naive idea that I’d be able to do so today.

Teams is still running amok with my focus.

I’m not rich by any means but I can make a £5/$5 donation to a charity of choice for anyone who’s able to take Teams offline.

Forever.

Seems the only way for a post to get good traction on this site is to say 'Trump', so here goes;
Trump! (Socialism will win) Trump!
Trump! (Economic democracy is real democracy) Trump!
Trump! (Seize the means of production) Trump!
Trump! (Full communism now) Trump!

I feel a meltdown brewing.

I can’t type more than a couple of sentences without someone interrupting me today.

I'm genuinely perplexed by having free time.

Luckily, my next diploma starts tomorrow.

Would I like to upgrade to the latest version of Pages?

After seeing the reviews, I think it's time to install Linux.

It's 42 years since I became the first student at college to make use of the Macintosh 128k computer!

Once again, at the day’s end, work goes ballistic.

I am so weary of this.

IT Support are saying there's a problem with my internet connection.

As my MacBook shows, there isn't. The problem is Windows.

I'm going to have to cancel tonight's self-help group to work late yet again.

Today is less quiet quitting and more quietly despairing.

I’ve already lost two hours of my working day due to the company’s insistence on using Windows 11.

Windows is now at resignation letter levels of frustration.

My glutes are none too happy about yesterday’s workout.

That’s my excuse for not being able to walk across the room to switch the work laptop on.

It’s 4.40pm on Sunday, and I can finally kick back and enjoy what’s left of my long weekend. 😵

Exam done. 79%. B.

Mildly disappointed as I got straight A’s in my mock exams.

Then again, after a chaotic year full of interruptions, I’m amazed I finished at all.

Phew! I can sit my exam this afternoon. Lunch, a brew, and then forwards!

I can't sit my exam.

I wanted to sit it in December, but had to keep moving it back due to my workload.

I'm waiting to hear from course tutors, but I'm beside myself with a mix of frustration, despair, and anger at the personal cost this job is having on me.

I sat up too late, and slept in. Oops.

Thankfully, reviewing my downloaded course materials didn’t take as long as expected.

A cup of tea, one last skim of my annotations, and then to sit my final exam.
January 31, 2026 at 9:54 AM
I've annotated all my annotations. w00t!

Now for a skim of downloaded resources.

You can tell I don’t have kids as I thought going to Tesco at 3pm on a Friday was a good idea.

My aim of an early start to finish revising, then sitting my exam has been waylaid.

I forgot about the materials on my laptop. So far, I’ve only covered my own notes. I’ve far more notes than other materials.

I’ll take the exam tomorrow, and have more time to absorb things today.

Taking a trip down memory lane with three hours of acid house right before bed wasn’t all that conducive to sleep.
