Right so a small flat hunting update. Got 6 places to look at between now and next Tuesday so should be fairly busy looking around. I’ve booked Monday off work and I hope to see some during the day. It’s really made me realise how good I had it here. But then again, I’m really only looking at somewhere to live on my own at the moment. Check that out and then look at the rest. Not sold at all on the idea of flatmates. I know it could be great, but *shrug*
I have just posted to the V for some thoughts on the whole flatshare thing, I wonder what sorta response there would be, the advice would be appreciated.
Got into work this morning to find the network was down. It was close to two when it came back online so the morning was very wasted. We had a semi long lunch in the Firkin and just chatted or wandered the floor for the rest of the time. It was annoying as I have a lot to do and a 5 minute connection would have got me everything I needed to work on my local box for a couple of days. The one good thing was that I got to go and actually talk to someone about one project which could have been a nightmare for us, but is now not.
This afternoon was kinda strange. The morning really fucked it over. It wasn’t so much a case of overdrive kicking in as overflow. Trying to deal with 3 separate items at once and struggling with them all individually led me to crank up some Ministry (techno metal is possibly the best description I have heard) and put it on and just work on one area of code for a while. It was quite refreshing and more importantly, it got the message to leave me alone well across! It’s pretty much an unwritten notice across my desk. Do not approach when you hear the sounds of metal. Mood music. I’ve just dug it out for a listen now. They were a band I found at Download on chance and really enjoyed the performance so got a couple of the cds. Also dug out some classic Guns N’ Roses for bringing into work tomorrow.
Lost a post there…well actually for once in a while I didn’t. It was all saved and up to date. You see, backups are a good thing so that I don’t have to see emails to Vice Presidents which basically say the dog ate my homework when I’m waiting on that homework. That annoyed the hell out of me…it also amused the hell out of me.
Already the V has come back with two helpful answers. Sometimes the place really gets it spot on. It helps that it’s primarily a London based forum. On the topic, I’m so tempted to go and post somewhere that I don’t post anymore just wind someone up…but see having said all that, it’s so not worth it.
I should turn off the computer, put my phone on to charge, get into bed and read for a while. But I don’t want to. I want to type as usual these days but I have nothing to say. There isn’t really much going on upstairs these past few days so I’m gonna do it anyway.
