no postage

as my pc's having a fit (it's now a glorified stereo system), and i'm under a fair amount of pressure, this post's a tad tricky.

monday night:

after work, spot and i stopped by cafeneto. we had to wait a long time before sunshine got a break; i finally got her number, but haven't had any use out of it.
must - organize - time - better.

fighting with anapod's uninstall and installing itunes turned out to be a bloody stupid idea. i have full admin access to my pc, except for the logout / shutdown button and the task manager. and i can't connect to the network, either :S

i had a nothing day on tuesday; i was welcomed back by my commanders as they caught me with my feet up twiddling my thumbs, and the trek to register back onto the base that's supposed to take up to two days wasted a full 10 minute - only because i got caught in the middle by a phone-call telling me that i had work to do.
yeah, right. i laughed at my SC - that might not have been too smart. especially considering that i need to ask an insane favour of him tomorrow.

i got to work early, and left work early. nql was giving me shit, and as usual it turned out that i was right (i'm not sure if i'd prefer his shouting at me if he was correct, but whatever), and i had to do a quick study of some seriously backwards php.

poker: seeing the guys was great, the game was rediculous. at one point i was chip leader in a disgusting way (my chips overfloweth'd), but i made a stupid call and grootbek ripping a ton of them away from me began a downhill trend that saw me out of the top four :(

i got home to laundry issues - nobody's doing any and it's driving me nuts. i'd forgotten was a giant drag some of the shared aspects of flatmates can be.
my pc's unbearable - i have to backup and format and everyone hates that.

i spent the morning updating my cv. that was a lot more complicated than it should have been.

i broke my promise to myself and ate lunch in the mess hall. it was disgusting. i deserved that.

experimental beans - i've been assigned all the nifty shit that nobody has time for, and today i had great fun running a full java app through oracle developer. aside from actually working (supplies!), it has tons of potential. if i can get the integration to work both ways...

i came to work, and then rushed off to an important meeting. the place we met reminded me of a museum i visited a few years back; the discussion was most positive and i walked away not only hopeful, but with a plan of action. unfortunately, it's now time to request big assistance, and take big risks, but hopefully things'll pan out.

today's rent day, and i'm assuming that the fact that nobody's contacted me in a flat panic is a good thing.

the boss caught up with me, we had a lengthy meeting covering all sorts of topics. i now have to write new work policies - not fun, but useful.

php image madness! fun tools! that only work in theory! crappola! i'm going home now.
