Panic Over

I was quite worried, thought I'd killed my PC, but it seems I must have nudged a cable loose somewhere - after dragging SilentBob2 out of the cupboard and attaching him to my monitor, I was able to spot that it wasn't picking anything up on the Primary IDE. I pushed and prodded, and my guess is the connection on the Seagate Barracuda V drive was pulled loose inside the SilentDrive enclosure. I'll try and carefully push the disks back in when I piece him back together. On the bright side, the additional SATA controller didn't require the driver disk as the chip is identical to my other card. When I was trying to install it on my dad's PC earlier it gave a couple BSOD! But all is well right now - touch wood.
Chloe's trying to sort everything out before she starts her new job in London, it sounds like she's really looking forward to it and I'm really happy for her. She's been in a rubbish job (similar to mine, but she can go on MSN and bring anything she likes in to work) for nearly a couple years now. She gives me hope that I'll find something better.
And I got a card in the post today, my first proper Christmas card - it was from Caz! I also have one at work from one of the Helens. I must buy some cards this weekend.
We went to Thai Emerald yesterday lunchtime for our section's Christmas celebration. It was pretty good, the chicken dish I had was nice and spicy and very tasty, and we all had a pretty good time. My only complaint would have to be the ornate wooden chairs, as the carved image in the back poked into my spine a bit too much for my liking, but I soon forgot about it.
