So, what's going on with The Daily Unlife, then? · 10:59pm Feb 22nd, 2015
Someone asked me on the story comments when the next chapter of The Daily Unlife will come out. Which is a very good question, to which I have no real answer at the moment...
See, it's a bit of a complicated affair.
I normally do most of my writing on the free hours of commuting by train, on my work laptop. However, the monitor of that laptop broke a while ago.
Now, normally, you'd say, then my employer should just replace it, right? Well, nope. At work, I always plug an external monitor into my laptop, to work dual-screen, and thus, even without the laptop's own monitor, I can still do my job. Because of that, the actual "fixing/replacing the laptop" was not deemed a critical issue but just a minor annoyance, and was put on the back burner. This effectively leaves me with two hours less free time per day. Really frustrating, as you can imagine. All I can do now is read a book or listen to music.
The problem doesn't stop there, though. I seem to subconsciously want those two hours back, and end up staying up far too late every day, which does not really put me in any kind of state that's good for writing, and seems to leave me an overall wreck. It's partly also a morale thing, I guess...
Anyway... I have a ton of ideas for the next chapter already gathered, and I'll probably get started on putting them together soon. I just hope I'll find the time and the sleep.
Time to whine to my boss some more, I guess. Or buy my own laptop
Nyerguds, over and out.
I hope things get better for you. so /Hugs are to be shared, okay?
I take it the laptop is out of the warrantee period?

It's a company laptop. The warranty side of things isn't really (or, shouldn't be) my concern. But given the fact it used to be my boss's laptop, and I've been using it for a few years now, I think that's a fair bet, yea.
