          	Less busy still at work today, but it compensated by being 
          more of a disaster. Despite being hindered by supply issues 
          again, apparently I didn't have enough problems and decided to 
          make some for myself. I managed to clean up my mistakes by the 
          end of the day, for the most part at least. I think my dropping 
          of the ball is probably due to my lack of sleep for basically 
          this entire week - I once again got distracted by shiny things 
          and only ended up getting about 5.5 hours of sleep.
          
          	I don't put much stock into commercial holidays, but I do 
          like giving people things I think they'll like, so historically I 
          have celebrated Xmas in some way or another. This year, I think 
          I'm going to rebuild my SO's computer, in addition to gifting her 
          a couple other little trinkety things. When I built the machine 
          originally, I pretty much just bought the cheapest components I 
          could find and slapped them all together with the hard drive out 
          of her decade-old Dell prebuilt. The result was miles ahead of 
          the type of computers she's typically owned, but left a lot to be 
          desired. I think there's either something wrong with the 
          motherboard, which was an open-box Biostar B250 mining board, or 
          the wifi adapter, which was a refurb, because it is constantly 
          dropping connection. I picked up another of those Z270 ex-mining 
          boards I used in the donation build from the recycler, as well as 
          a new wifi/bluetooth combo adapter, same as one I picked up for a 
          machine I was commissioned to build a couple months back, and 
          ended up liking quite a lot. 
          
          	Not a lot going on of interest at the moment, so I guess 
          I'll just sign off on this here. Maybe tonight I'll actually get 
          a healthy amount of sleep?
