I have so much work to do :( I have 3 jobs on the go at the moment (why do they all come in at once?!) and I have no time to do anything. My university dissertation is due in in two weeks and I haven't even started it. Arrrrgh. There are loads of other things I need to do too but since they're not as important they'll have to wait.

Ra, my uni term is over. Work will be over on Saturday and then I'm off to my parents' for two weeks.
...then uni will start again, and I will have two weeks to get my dissertation done :(

Work is leaving me rather less time to do stuff these days :( I have university classes on Mondays and Fridays, and I work all day Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, leaving me with just Sundays off to do assignments and things. Next week is the last week of uni before Christmas and every assignment under the sun is due in... Have I done any work on any of them? Of course not. When I get home from work, I'm exhausted and I pretty much go straight to bed. When I get home from uni, the last thing I want to do is study. Urgh. Although extra money is good (I haven't had a "proper" job in quite a while, uni and travelling to and fro kind of prevented me doing anything for a couple of years), I do miss my free time. If I didn't have uni work to do, this would all be great... But I do so it isn't. Meh.
Not that I'm not enjoying my new job though... I'm not doing anything exciting but I've done this sort of thing before and I really enjoyed it. This time round it's with a different company, but it's the same kind of job and I still enjoy it. That is, until people start telling me to go and put things in places when I don't know where said places are. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. In the meantime, I should probably try and work on these essays. *Gloom*

This post is mainly to test my Vox integration, but will also serve as an update since I haven't written anything for a week.
So yes, Vox. I got an account a while ago to catch up with some friends, but other than doing the question of the day, I haven't been using it much. I'm not a huge fan of its dodgy WYSIWYG interface and the fact that it's full of AJAX and JavaScript means it's really slow to load (but really fast once it has!). Also, you can't customise the way it looks and that annoys me a lot. At least with LiveJournal you can change the colours and even make new layouts if you know how to use the overrides or have a paid account. With Vox, you can't even change the colours. Meh. I appreciate that it's still in beta, but it's being officially launched sometime next week (29th I think?) so I don't think they're planning too many changes. :\
Right then, I have a dissertation draft thing to finish before Wednesday morning and I have barely started it. Better go and do that, I think...
