Tech Argh
It has not been a good day for tech. I switched off my laptop about 2300 yesterday and it wanted to install 22 updates. By midnight it was still going at 8 of 22 so i moved it out my bedroom so the light wouldn't stop me sleeping.
at 14:10 today I get a worried email from my mum saying its still trying to install that one update. It was okay by the time I got hom but that still 14-15 hours at least microsoft. Then when i switched it back on it demanded to be restarted to finalised the bloody update.
can i tell a damned thing that's different about its performance now? I cannot.
Equally annoying: Yahoo mail has decide it doesn't want to show a conversation i was having with fest mods in my inbox at all, And remove it from outlook as well. I can still find the messages through search. But still, not on yahoo.

Yahoo never works for me when I try to use it and I have an address. I've just been sticking to Gmail because Yahoo is acting all crazy.
How's the job treating you?

turns out i'd deleted the emails so i rescued them from the trash. Swear i didn't but them there but whatever. Gmail doesn't really agree with my mail program. all the ones going to hp-het-taboo's account get duplicated there.
Work's okay. Bit variable. They've got a bee in their bonnets about us recording what we've done at the end of every day so the hours add up right. And i hear tell of a coding 'exam' that has me worried. bout halfway through the trial period and i really don't know if I'm making a good impression or not.

Gmail hasn't failed me, where others have, although tbf Hotmail didn't fail me so much as get weird with all the spam emails. I've almost completely switched to Gmail for all my email needs now. I still have the Yahoo and Hotmail accounts but for minimal use.
Maybe you could get 'Coding for Dummies' or something like that and just read up a bit. I wouldn't worry about making a good impression so much as not doing a bad job. Screwing up is what will get you fired, not floating under the radar. That's just my opinion though. Maybe you can ask a supervisor what they think of your performance so far, in an Off-the-record sort of way.
Good luck!

Thanks very much for the luck.
And terribly rude of me, i should be asking how are you doing at the moment as well?
