I seem to be having problems with my database connection at times. I noticed it a while ago and had it sorted out by my ISP. It happened again last week when Elle tried to leave me a comment and I’m happy she mentioned it in an email to me [thanks again!] so I could sort it out. Today I had the same problem…
So if you experience an error like this: Got an error: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Too many connections, then please be patient and try again at some other time or send me an email. Apparently a server needs a reboot according to my ISP and it seems to be a ‘common’ problem with MT and MySQL according to the web. There are more people out there experiencing the same issue with Movable Type.
Perhaps it’s a bug, but they [MT] say it’s not… So for now I’m stuck and will have to contact my ISP about this whenever it occurs.

Contradictions
I woke up in tears this morning because of a nightmare I had. It’s a sign to me that things are not okay, not that I don’t realise that already but it’s telling me how I deal with stress because I had the same reaction in the past. Last night I was given advice on how to move on with my life from the same person who tells me that he wants to split up. I can’t listen to this because he is the last person at the moment I would take advice from although I know he really means well. I feel like being pushed, I know I’ll get there on my own.
Basically I ended up having to defend myself about the same issues when we lived in the Lowlands and why I don’t feel like going back; jobs, social security, age discrimination [I have RSI, so I was stuck in the wonderful system of Dutch bureaucracy telling me I wasn’t allowed to do what I’ve studied for or skilled in or else they would take my insurance benefit which they took in the end anyway *sarcastic*]. In the Lowlands you’ll have to mention your DOB in your resume opposed to the UK and they’d rather hire someone young and inexperienced age 25/30 [read cheap wages] than someone with experience and age 30+/40+/50+ [read expensive wages].
In the Lowlands you need education for each and every job and the right papers if you want to make a career change you’ll have to study again, here in the UK people just switch careers like they switch lights on and off, basically even a moron can become prime minister but I reckon that’s the same in the Lowlands… I’ve made up my mind and will stay here and choose the hard way. Trying to explain this over and over again last night didn’t make things easier. I can discuss anything except this and I really don’t need to hear how to organise my life. It caused friction yesterday and he apologised. He is only trying… I know he is.
This morning after I woke up crying, I went over to my desk to start working and found this, and then I cried some more because it made me happy for a moment.
My life seems to be one big contradiction these days…
[ps I don’t have the results from the hospital back yet, probably next week]
