pc hopping

a quick post prior to doing some work. i feel like absolute shit slopping over the side of an already grimy bucket. i spent most of the day with a nosebleed, unable to breathe properly (read barely, mostly through my mouth and now even that's a bitch).

i actually made it to the base on time for inspection this morning - i don't remember when last that happened. normally there're about 30 people in all. this morning there were hundreds. most of our unit turned up, and the process took over half an hour as opposed to the usual 4 minutes.

that was an amusing start to the day. everyone went straight off to the cafeteria afterwards, causing massive logistical problems for them. score 2!

i got back to the office, talked online with and then went to visit a gorgeous girl close by, and then returned to begin cleaning our office - it's been months.

almost done, and spot informs me that it completely slipped his mind that he'd arranged to meet this guy we're doing a site for, and that he's just received a call to say he's waiting for us. SCHMUCK.

so we have this meeting, which went alright, i guess, and then returned to finish the job.

the rest of the early afternoon sailed by arbitrarily, and then i went to herzeliya.

i managed somehow to get the bus to netanya - fortunately i realized in time to get off close to the right stop in herzeliya pituach, but had to walk in the rain to get there. and then wait 20 minutes for a bus to the station, and then wait half an hour for my boss's wife to pick me up because i have no umbrella.

on the bus to the station, i ran into the cute french girl from our base, and her boyfriend. a bit weird meeting a guy who you know probably shouldn't trust his girl 100%... and she takes advantage of the fact that the poor sod barely speaks hebrew, and is a paratrooper who spends most of his time up north. hmmm...

the meeting with the boss went extremely well. i got a ride to the mall, where sammy picked me up, and we came to the coffee shop next to my place for a great chat. then to my place for EXCELLENT tekken (yes, he did some damage), and we watched most of nightwatch before everything got woozy for me. sammy left, and i'm about to get busy fixing these bugs so that i can sleep late.

DAMN do i feel like crap. hey sammy - i haven't missed the trash can yet!
