Touch wood times twenty

Well blow me down if people aren't now tripping over themselves in their eagerness to pay me. The invoice for my current place isn't due until 11 Dec and they paid me today! As one would say... kerching. Please please please please let this continue.

Good job too as I had a small disaster at the end of last week when my laptop decided to break. On Thursday evening in the office it was working fine. Got home, plugged it in (what a sad geekette I am) and... nothing. No wireless drivers. Couldn't connect to anything. The next day, it had self-deleted all the audio drivers too, and wouldn't even recognise Word docs I'd created about 20 minutes previously, which had me tearing my hair our somewhat. Ended up borrowing a MacBook from one of the studio guys who looked at me a little nervously and asked me not to make it blow up.

Saturday was an expensive day. But I'm now an official convert to Macs and am writing this on my lovely new MacBook, while transferring and backing up all files from the old (in disgrace) laptop. And I can claim it back on my tax.

Next batch of invoices due in this weekend too.

Cinderella WILL be going to the ball this Christmas. Yay!
