Finished work after 12 hours, had to reinstall the backup software, wouldnt touch the mail server :grr:

Forgot to mention that the other day I have now officially heard 2 Jimmy Buffet songs.

ROFLMAO!!! Which two?

margaratville and I have heard Cheeseburger in paradise a few times out here.

Worked, was rained out, reflected on life and came to a sad conclusion.

Woken up and got those 'can't be arsed' feeling so went to work and get onto a 'can't be arsed' mode......

Log on 4peeps and posts away.....

Got a call for a job interview at a local appliance store. Will go and check them out.

Took Harvey to the vet for a checkup and booster applies. Asked them to weight him and he come to ....... 4.3kg!

But am glad he got a clean bill of health for a change......

Three meetings per meeting? Bl**dy hell!!

Yup. We have to meet before we go to the table with management to make sure we're all on the same page, and then after we leave the table we have to meet to make sure we get everything done we promised them, and that we're all still on the same page. Both are also strategy sessions. I've been doing it since June 1, at least three days per week. In fact....today:

Pre-meeting meeting at the office.
Contract negotiation meeting.
Post-meeting meeting at the office.

*sigh*

The some last minute shopping before the weekend, and later I'll be going to the laundromat.

I just threw a tissue at the garbage can and missed.

Man, I am bored. Guess I should get started on some diagramming or something.

Chatting away with two of main 4peepers! And ain't tell who!

Once more got pissed off with NTL's shitty mailserver.

Go with a decent ISP fubar instead of a two bit outfit. :P



hmm, drunk far too much beer for a weeknight

Discovered that our house was broken into while I was away today, and some money and my laptop with its bag are gone. Several other things as well. Waiting for the police now.

Sucky to hear, Felix ..

Sorry to hear about that Felix....

It's starting to hit me...and I can't stop shaking. Lord, this is bad...

Thanks guys.

Bad news Felix....

Sorry to hear that Felix

Their email was down earlier too.

I've given up on their mailserver.

Sorry to hear about the breakin Beth.... hope everything get resolved quickly.

Well. They got one partial fingerprint, and a hair that is most likely mine. And a bunch of pictures. And a possible point of entry.

Odds of my getting my laptop back? Pretty much nil. They did encourage me to check with the pawn shops, though. Odds of my mother ever seeing her money, or the collection of coins from different countries - zero.

Odds any of this will be covered by homeowners insurance, or that they'll ever catch the kids (there have been a lot of these recently, it seems) - next to nothing.

Watched a whole lotta TV (maybe too much...2 hours straight was enough)!!

The Office is a great show.

got to work a little early, so far spent most of the time on the phone trying to resolve a few mobile data problems

I learned this word:



Time to eat breakfast!! I am famished!

Tidies up my worktop so that I can do some of the Open University's assignment!

Worked in the day, golfed in the evening.

Worked like a loon all day,


hit a small annoying ball around a field.

How about pick the ball from the tee and walk to the hole and put it into the hole and save the stress for another thing!

Wouldn't be quite as much fun tho.

just "dialled" into work trying to sort out getting Outlook web access working on t'internet, after a day and a bit mucking about with it...



it works...


i feel happy now.

Sorry about the break in Beth, I have had enough stuff stolen to know it really sucks. Just remember as long as no one was hurt is all that matters.

Take care.

Got another job today. This one will be full time selling appliances. It seems like a good store. Family run and a small staff. I will have to work every weekend so that kind of puts a real damper in the photo business. I am really bummed but have no choice. We need to get some debt paid off first. Maybe next year we can make it work.

We also ordered some signs for the bike weel. We are going to try and do some bike portraits at our house. We have a few different spots to take the pictures. Its an experiment and I hope it will at least pay for itself if nothig at all.

Overall today has sucked.





Well, not entirley true. I picked up a bunch of nice and healthy basil plants so I am a little happy.

Got some variety finally....

Drove down to the fairgrounds (about 40 miles from here), and staked out my claim for space (set up my tent...I've got a GREAT spot this year!). Worked only an eight-hour shift, in alternating rain and sunny humidity. Drove home, packed up everything I need except the stuff that needs to be in the cooler, got almost everything in the car.

Remembered at 11:30 I hadn't eaten since lunch...still not really eating much, I guess. Still feel creeped-out in my house. PARANOID about mom going on vacation for a week.

Worked today, was rained out twice. Went out to the bar with a friend. Got semi in the bag, had a wonderful time. Even charmed a Lesbian, which is an uphill struggle, to say the least.

I made progress on the pole - pulled myself up and also did a one-armed fireman's spin.

Got up (eventaully)


Got dressed

had a cuppa


drove to work....

Woken up showered after 2 cup of kofi! (After some discussion with Amanda about the pronounce of the coffee as she disagree about the 'cawfee') then went to work not before I pack the laptop etc and left the lunch out and walked to work! D'oh!

Log on......

Got the last of everything packed in the car, discovered that if I let my hair air-dry and then sleep on it without brushing it, it's OHMYGOD curly when I wake up .

And I'm off, only to be here briefly Saturday, and then not again until Monday.

woohoo!! Amanda's dancing!!

I'll be right there, darlin, with a double fistful of dollars

Yur, well that's a show stopper. Anything I have to say ain't going to trump that!!! LOL.

Woke up, rearranged some new purchases, ate a banana and some Monterey Jack cheese. Working on coffee and playing with my New Mozilla Firefox browser which I like immensely. Way superior to I.E.

looks like the old duff edited his post.

Chicken-man!!!

I'd have given her a hand with them. It's QUITE obvious she wanted you to.

Brother Burner! Welcome to firefox kingdom.....

As of me am getting ready for a dash home in few mins.....

Not the way you think, bk. I assure you.

Well, well...Get your Benjamins ready

Today I've noticed that certain body parts are more stiff than others. *sigh*

two words:

"web cast"

I browsed the net today at work as I don't have it at home currently

Since lunch, nothing what so ever.....
