Kind of actually very grateful now that I didn't start my new job today. I have ended up with a mountain of admin! Got accepted to my course but there was a whole bunch of calling and form-filling that followed due to unique circumstances. That took a few hours. And I got my latest power bills which FINALLY prodded me to do the annual switch (several months overdue - could've been saving $50 a month! - but better late than never). Plus I'm waiting on the pre purchase inspection results for the car, any minute now I should be getting a phone call and email to go through the options, then I need to enter negotiations (urgh).

A friend wants me to go help them with some measurements and shit around 4:30pm today, that'll get me out of the house which is great.

Meanwhile, the shit is starting to go down again in the Middle East. Maybe this is a bad time to be buying an ICE car, but at least this one has relatively low fuel consumption...
