the short day

three calls and three different secretaries later, i finally managed to convince the clinic to give me the referral that i need for tomorrow's "we can't tell you over the phone" hospital visit. so that's a half-day to deal with the anticipated hangover ;)

disregarding some minor points that may or may not blow up in my face, i completed the vast majority of the work that's on my plate and got to do a bit of problem solving. and that's in spite of my project being sabotaged by an unidentified outsider during the night. we're good.

the weather's become rather summery - the walk to the train station this morning was actually very pleasant.
a guy in our unit found a way to make my workstation 50% more responsive, and the smooth experience afterwards chilled me out a bit.
the way home was most amusing as that cute welfare officer i met some time ago was on the bus with me, and i succeeded in ruffling her feathers in spite of her repeated attempts to get a rise out of me.
three - no, four (maybe even five, if i count the hangover dispensation) positive's in one day? it's been a while!

in another couple of hours i'm off with sammy for the usual, so in the meanwhile i think i'm going to take a walk and try to remember what i need to organize before leaving for cape town.

*AHEM*

before leaving for cape town.
