One of those days

After really really really struggling to get up this morning, so getting to work an hour late, I found that my PC didn't want to work.  It's the one I've had since starting the PhD, so isn't the newest, but shouldn't be packing up just yet.  Fortunately the nice IT man managed to sort it out (I'm not sure what he did, and I'm not entirely convinced he did either, but it works so I'm happy enough).

This afternoon once I'd got back into my stride with work I managed to knock an almost full cup of tea over onto my keyboard (and desk, and me).  I think most of the tea has drained out now, but when I tried typing with it just gobbledegook came out (no comments about the usual stuff I type please!).  Hopefully it will dry out overnight and be back to normal by tomorrow, otherwise my redrafted thesis chapter and conference publication thingy might be quite entertaining :)

Tomorrow is the study day, I'm looking forward to it but am feeling a bit unprepared.  I think cramming is the order of the day this evening.
