Money, money, money

Today I spent money that I didn't have. Namely, on a laptop, router, mouse and carry bag. I know this cost a lot less here than it would in England (about 700 quid for the lot, and the laptop is a nice one), but still, I can't help feeling that getting a job would have made a more productive use of my day. In this vein, I did go to the careers fair in downtown, but it was a bit of a non-event, with the only police stall being run by Vancouver police, who don't recruit for civilian posts, and most other stalls being retail and crappy part-time work. Which no doubt I will soon be desperate enough to take.

However, the laptop does mean that I can a) play with a new toy for a bit, b) listen to all my music finally, c) communicate with all my lovely friends, and d)hopefully get some work sent over to me from England, in order to make the debts up. Failing that, I can use it to heat my room in the winter.
