Good news and bad news

This deadline at work has been so consuming that this morning it feels... well, not bad of course, but without that focus I suddenly feel that the impending move is an afwul lot closer than it was yesterday. Dragon has been working very hard to make inventories and arrange insurances and all really tedious work that is associated with the move, and I'm only now starting to focus on it.

My brain keeps farting. While checking my bank account today I managed to enter the code wrong again and was locked out again... only this time I managed get my brain to focus for three seconds so I got the security questions right over the phone so this time I didn't have to go to a branch to reset the codes.

I also finally got the estimate for fixing the damage to my car - and it was just below £1000 so that kind of solves the dilemma of whether to get it fixed or not. The whole car (in good condition) would be worth maybe twice that, so according to the rule I heard that says that if the repairs to your car cost more than fifth of it's value when sold, it's financially more sensible to buy a new car - there's no way I'm going to get the car done at this point (even if I had the time).

Oh well. I can't be bothered to be depressed about it now, what's done is done. The other reason (in addition of the project being finished) to my good mood is the fact that I have already been tentatively offered a new job - but more on that when it's confirmed one way or another.
