weird, weird day

i crawled and slothed out of bed this morning, being extremely grateful for the presence of mind i'd had to shave before going to sleep. i rocked up at the city officer, and ended up with the worst dentist i've had so far. the anaesthetic was so bad that i suffered the pain of the drilling because i didn't want to have it redone.

nothing like spitting blood and metal in the morning. and the two newest fillings are clashing - i'm sure that's not right. i can't close my mouth comfortably.

after working an hour, i realized that i've been suffering a worse case of absent-mindedness in the army than i have with the medsupply prog. i discovered that my code has been fine the entire time, but i've been testing it with the wrong data.

DOH.

even the kid had a good laugh when he found out what i'd been struggling with.

funnily enough, my delegation skills have left me with nothing to do. once i completed my bit, the kid had to integrate it into his side, and as for the rest the dog is responsible for the final blow-out when he gets his shit working. so i spent the rest of the day finding ways to amuse myself.

i played volleyball for an hour or so - the firefighter was deliberately trying annoy me, and that annoys me. our team for the next game (next monday), which is against the other first-ranking team, is shite. all our good players are going to be unavailable.

i got a phone call from the american kid i took care of for my community service - a lot of gaming talk. i explained to him that it's nigh impossible for me to get to netanya, and i told him to bus down here sometime. i find it interesting that he looks to me for guidance with the real-world stuff - i must have done something right ;)

i sat with the mongoose for a few minutes on the design for our new project, and got our team-leader to agree with me on a name for the system. nexus, when spelled in hebrew, comes right out as an acronym for what it does. nice!

i spent the late afternoon eating salted liquorice and clearing email, and helping out the kid with his work. i ate a meagre supper on base, and bussed home discussing german vs. japanese with someone random. it was a beautiful evening, albeit chilly, and now that i've done my online stuff, i'm going to shower and crash early - i *am* worried about the examination tomorrow!

i'm currently holding my own in a cute hebrew sms conversation with j-girl - much easier when i get to think about what i'm saying ^_^
