lyoreYay! Got the DVDs (Pretender and Hogan's Heroes, season 2) from amazon today. Only two weeks before they said it would show up - I thought that a month for delivery, even from America to Australia, was a little pessimistic. Unless they were planning to swim it over.
Of course, since I checked my mail just before I had to go to class (you know, cause I only got up just before I had to go to class), I then had to sit through two ultra boring hours of basic quantum mechanics, when all I really wanted to be doing was checking out my newest acquisitions. Now, it's fairly well known that I have issues with QM at the best of times, but this was stuff even I understood - whats more, I understood it the first time round. There are definitely drawbacks to doing a combined degree.
Still, it was eventually over, and I got to retire to the wonders of Mr Lyle and Brigitte, and a bunch of really dumb germans. Good times were had by all (OK, by me, but that's all that counts). Minor annoyance - the Pretender DVDs are still double sided, which is just a pain - mostly cause I can never figure out which way I should be putting up. Oh well, there's only two choices, so I guess I'll manage to cope :)
I even made some progress filling out the job-related paperwork - just waiting on a few minor details and the delivery of some documents, and I may be able to finally remove the Leaning Tower of security forms from my desk.
All in all, a good day.
Random Observation of the Day - Whoever (Whomever?) draws up these forms definitely has some sort of supernatural ability. They predicted the exact amount of space I needed to answer each question, and then they halved it.
