Day 1837

Improved the new Linux with some aliases etc. Exchanged e-mail with M about it, and about her new ISP. Looked at the nearly-full Moon in the telescope at 25 x, drew a map.

Gave more thought to the work situation. I must carry on Friday's exertions, partly so I can't blame myself if the worst happens, partly because unless I get away with a decent reference, and 6 months' experience, I'll be back where I was in September. I'll have the courses of course, but I'd have at least an indifferent reference. Hopefully though I can turn things round. (Of course the opportunity to change jobs might turn out to be a good thing - I'd still need a reference though.) At least I have experienced the sacking trauma in advance, as it were.

Watched Star Trek: Voyager, surprisingly good. Will endeavour to do so again.
