Yay!
I got my laptop back today! Hurrah! I'm not 100% happy as the internal part wasn't actually to blame at all, but the power supply. That's a much cheaper part than £80. The repair guy said that the internal part does look like its on its last legs though, so there's still a potential £80 repair on the horizon.

More work issues.
I did not sleep one second of one minute last night. My recent work issues were still a problem to a certain extent and I simply couldn't stop going over two or three different things in work that were causing me grief.
I've honestly never felt anything like it... my heart was pounding, even reading wasn't any help and I was tossing and turning all night long.
I was up super early this morning and was in work, sorting out as much as I could. I had a quick chat with KfW who suggested I talk to my boss again. It was good advice, so I got a quick word with him when he arrived and we got things sorted again. I was certainly a lot happier after the chat than I was beforehand and was able to get a lot done this afternoon with a little help from some team-mates.
I was, however, fighting sleep all day and I only made it to 5 PM without falling asleep due to large quantities of coffee, Red Bull and other assorted energy drinks. I kept zoning out during the afternoon, I had a splitting headache all day, my eyes were super dry and I kept taking dizzy spells. This was all because of sleep deprivation, I think (though, thinking about it, could have been due to the caffeine). Now I'm home and still trying to stay awake. I need to stay conscious until 10 PM I think so I can get a good night's sleep but not wake up too early.
Roll on the weekend!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
My bloody laptop has died! It looks like it's an internal part and could be about £80 to get fixed. Small price to pay though as it's an excellent laptop, bought at a bargain price.

Work relief.
I approached my boss today to tell him that I was going to perhaps need some help with my current workload. He was OK with that. I guess he was more concerned with being kept in the loop than with my seeming failure to manage the work. It was good to know. My internal reviews have been OK, which is a lot better than I was expecting. It's my first real work in this department and while I'm a little slower than I would like, I'm more concerned about getting it right.
