Gene seems to think that lifein1973 community is there because they've all got the hots for him and wanted a place to talk about it. Dream on, Guv. Honestly, he's more deluded than I am!

I wish he'd stop looking over my bloody shoulder to read it. I don't know why he doesn't get one of these journals for himself. What's the matter, Gene? Can't you cope with the technology?

Current Mood: cranky

I've discovered that there's a community called lifein1973 - I'd hoped it was some kind of support group - I even wondered for a moment if I'm not the only coma patient stuck here. It doesn't seem to be exactly that, but maybe it'll have some useful tips for living here. Now. Whatever. I've joined, anyway.

(The people who post in it seem to know a scary amount about my situation... is it a conspiracy? A message from the future? A very bad joke? And I thought it was bad when it was just the telly and the radio talking to me...)

Current Mood: thoughtful

Sending the boys off on that computer course was definitely one of my better ideas. It's really contributed to their personal and career development! Well, some of them, anyway. Chris tells me he's even signed up for some kind of creative writing assignment. A "ficathon", he called it. He's asked me to take a look at what he comes up with - I said I'd be glad to. He'll get a much more helpful opinion from me than from some of the neanderthals in the office, that's for certain!

Just as long as he remembers to separate fiction and fact when it comes to the job. Witness statements, for example. Some people *cough*Ray*cough* seem to have a few problems with that. But I'm sure Chris will learn the proper way of doing things. He's a good lad.

Oops, here comes the Guv. I'd better go!

Current Mood: pleased

That's the last time I go to one of those conferences with the Guv. I don't think I slept at all, the whole weekend. (Because the Guv snores. No other reason. Really.) Maybe Chris would like to go next time? Nah, it'll probably be me and the Guv again. :sigh:

The only good thing that happened was that the telly in the B&B room Chris booked us was broken.

Oh, alright. Not the only good thing.

Current Mood: tired

Have decided to start this journal in the hope that writing all this down will help me make some sense of all this madness. It probably won't, but doing this is better than talking to imaginary children in my TV.

I'm not quite sure how I'm accessing the internet from 1973 (does this prove that it is all in my head?), but thank god I can get to Google again!

I've noticed that dc_chrisskelton and ds_raycarling (hah, DS - in his dreams!) have journals too. I've friended Chris, but not Ray, for obvious reasons. Although maybe I should be keeping an eye on him...
