1) computer: The short version: sent the graphics card back, they tested it and say it's not faulty. Brian then takes everything apart again and now says they may be right and I actually have a faulty memory stick. He'll phone them today and the whole returning parts saga begins again. Starting to wonder if I'll ever actually get this computer back.

2) timetable: For those of you that are new here, I work at a Day Service for adults with learning disabilities. As well as working directly with the clients, I'm also responsible for drawing up the main timetable and running the day-to-day cover. Usually we have one main timetable which runs from September to July, then a summer timetable from July to September. It's that time again where I now have to start drawing up the summer timetable. This involves consultation with all the clients here as well as the staff, then trying to put together a timetable that meets everyones needs and requests, so yeah, bloody hard work. I generally have a bit of a meltdown whilst doing it, so be warned. This new edition I'm working will be even harder than usual as we're making a lot of changes to the structure and schedule of our day, all of which I need to try and incorporate. We're then probably switching to a 3-monthly timetable, which means me drawing up a whole new timetable 4 times a year instead of twice. Please bear with me whilst I slowly lose my mind. Between this and paperlegends I'm going to be a busy girl!

3) merlin fics: Posting over at reel_merlin starts on June 7th! EXCITED! Lots of lovely long fics to tide me over (maybe!) until the paperlegends stories are posted!

Yikes! Good luck with the computer and timetabling things dear! ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[aruna7.livejournal.com]

Ah the timetable of doom! It's this time of the year again! ;)

Good luck for that and the computer sweetie!!

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

YES! You should be well used to the whining and meltdown that comes with the ToD by now!

1) Poor you! I don't know what I would do without a computer.. I've been without one for 2 weeks tops and yah.... that wasn't the most sane I've been. Good luck with it.. hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

2) Not again! I certainly don't envy you... especially now that you've got double the fun :p.

3) On a slightly related matter that is merlin.. Channel 10 (the channel that plays merlin) is having a behind the scenes special (with questions taken from the merlin discussion board!) tomorrow! Yay.. nearly as exciting as the posting of more merlin fics!

*hugs* hope all's doing okay and you're doing your best to stay sane!

Good luck with both the computer (finicky little bitches, they can be) as well as the timetable thing! Yikes! I can imagine how that'd be a whole crapload of work for you to have to complete. *sends positive vibes* :)

BTW, have you watched Fringe yet? ;D

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Computer faults - ugh!

**fingers crossed** for that and the timetable...

♥

1. This saga just keeps getting worse. :( I'd be pulling my hair out by now. Hope it gets fixed soon.

2. Oh jeez, timetabling can be such a lot of work. x___x Good luck with it all!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Argh! Computer problems have to be one of the worse things. Good with it.

And *hugs* to you hun. Just 'cause. :D

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

Please bear with me whilst I slowly lose my mind.

You still have any left?... =D
Kidding, of course. I'm sure you'll do brilliantly, as always.

*hugs*

Urrggghh!!! Computers. I've had trouble myself recently. Had trouble with my screen, but while they were looking at that they discovered that the graphics card had overheated too....so my laptop was going to and fro. Finally fixed, but such a lot of trouble. Hope you get yours sorted soon :P

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

Oh no not timetable time again! *cuddles you and fortifies with coffee* I know what a PITA that is for you every year. We're here anytime you need to melt down.

[bellasianna.livejournal.com]

I get a little bit scared when it comes to new timetable time...

[ella-bane.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your very busy schedule! I hope you'll save yourself some time to relax. ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

1) I MISS MY COMPUTER!

2) Yeah, that time again I'm afraid.

3) That is SO cool! Are they televising the panel?

*hugs hard*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I just want it fixed and home so I can start rebuilding everything I lost when the old one died. SO MUCH WORK TO DO.

NO! Haven't had time and now Peter is here till Sunday, so it'll most likely be Sunday evening now. DAMMIT!

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

STRESSFUL LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.

Usually I'm only working on new ones twice a year (for the month of June and the month of August) but with 4 new ones a year it'll be pretty much a perpetual state of stress. I generally have at least one meltdown each time I wrote one, so be warned.

♥

Perfect icon for the timetable... should print that off and stick it up somewhere in my office!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT?

Thank you ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥

*hugs muchly*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

You'd think not by now, right? How many times have you had to go through this before with me on here?! I'll keep the whining and meltdowns to a minimum this time, I swear.

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It feels like forever since my old computer died, plus the problems on top of it with this new one. Just ugh.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

TIMETABLE OF DOOM TIME AGAIN! I know you've been through this before with me (too many times) so I'll keep the wailing and rocking in a corner to a minimum!

Knowing you guys are here to lean on helps me pull it off every time =)

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm not bloody suprised!

MANICNESS! EPIC WHINING! TEARING IT UP AND STARTING AGAIN! I have all this and more to look forward to...

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I thrive on being busy... but remind me I said that when BB launches in September and I'm then also in the middle of the NEXT timetable planning!

♥

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

Bad news on the computer front. I hope it gets sorted quickly.

Double bad news with the schedule. Scheduling is the pits.

But yay Merlin AU's! I have read a couple more on your delicious page. I need to email you about them at some point.

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm chilled though. I'm sure Deb thinks I've been replaced by a pod person or something, as nothing fazes me these days. Maybe I have.

LET ME KNOW WHICH ONES YOU READ AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT!

♥

[moyawyvern.livejournal.com]

That timetable just sounds hellish. *sends hugs and virtual cookies*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's kind of exciting and terrifying all at the same time. I'm certainly exhausted once it's complte!

*hugs muchly*

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

Quite a lot :)

I'll keep the whining and meltdowns to a minimum this time, I swear.

And why would you do that? You need a place to vent and where else better than here? See, I even have an appropriate icon! =D

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Maybe this time I'll just sail through it... !

Perfect icon =)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

eeek. good luck!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ansku]

Oh no, I had hoped the problem was solved with the one sending back but guess not :( My darling once had to send back his new motherboard twice before he got a functioning one (and a different model from the first two as well because the first product clearly wasn't reliable) and it was an awful hassle. I hope sending back the memory stick really does the trick!

Good luck with the Timetable of Doom!

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥

[arkray.livejournal.com]

Ooops, so it was not th card? :/ I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible, good luck!!!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the computer can get sorted out. *crosses fingers*

The timetable thing sounds stressful. I hope everything goes smoothly for you during all the changes and what not.

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you =)

And yes, what with the timetable and BB right now, life's pretty full on.

*hugs*
