19 th. February.

19/02/2007
Have had a good kip and woke up to a dark, grey, damp dull day.
Have had to put central heating and fire on to warm room up.
Felt rotten when first rose but reeling better after going to toilet.
Sat and had a couple of smokes whilst listening to someone’s car alarm going off;
really is annoying.
Put media player on to drown sound of alarm.
Hopefully will get quite a bit of course work done today, time is ticking away.
Head’s itching, will have to wash hair today!
Shocking footage of fire-fighters running the gauntlet of intimidating youths as they answer 999 calls has been released today.
The young thugs - who appear to be aged as young as eight -
Police are also examining footage, not yet released, of 16 attacks last month in which youths used stones and a 6ft metal pole as missiles which had been stockpiled to be hurled at crews.
But from tomorrow tough new legislation comes into force with a maximum £5,000 fine for thugs who obstruct or intimidate any mercy crews. when they arrive.
About bloody time, for too long this unacceptable behaviour has had to be tolerated by workers who are already at risk form the dangerous nature of their job.

Have spent a few hours revising and at one point I was called upon by dealer in need of sugar,
I took the opportunity to score a half ounce, after finishing modules I sat a couple of tests and fell fowl of mail merge again, the whole process seems to archaic in office 2000 as to make me think there is a fault with downloaded files.
I am completely stuck.
Enjoying the challenge but seed of doubt is growing.
Spent a couple of hours more on leaning mail merge in 200, what was knacking me up was the lack of preview,
I eventually found the pages while scrolling!
I had a sense that one of the merges had worked but couldn’t find the finished article,
I was looking to open individual pages and they were all scrolled on top of each other out of sight.
All in all turned out to be quite an enjoyable day, got plenty done, half mastered a difficult and somewhat boring procedure in office 2000; having persevered with mail merge.
I made myself something to eat, I have no recollection of what it was but I’ve eaten, of that there is no doubt.
It wasn’t a smoke to bring on the munchies, I thought,
but looking at the empty bag of popcorn it worked its magic.

It was a gentle smoke, one which invited you to relax into it like putting on a leather coat.
Dark, deep and ever so relaxing.
I slowed down; my course work was more intense and the level of concentration was raised accordingly to match the task in hand.
I no longer got annoyed at not having a printer and having to move between draft, letter, data base, and exam question sheet before I could answer a question.
I simply took my time and strolled through the work at a leisurely pace.
The first exam contents had the mail merge properties linked from the main page to the data source and the only way I could open the draft letter was to remove these properties, as a consequence when the data source was selected the mail merge program seemed to refuse to use it.
I eventually used another letter with the data base and it worked fine!
That may or may not make some sense to anyone who has been in similar predicament.
I even had to revert to Microsoft’s interactive section for help; makes you realise just how much there is out there for potential learning.

Hours spent with camera crossing the moors looking for I know not.
Hours spent surfing the net, in search of pictures to astound.

I hope the reader appreciates this is a toker who is filling in the gaps as and when memory allows.
