My computer is a piece of shit and I hate it. I can’t afford to replace it and it’s beyond repair (I think) so it leaves me pretty fucked.

Goodnight and fuck you world.

There are a couple of great big holes in my life over the past year I guess it is. One is fairly obvious, the other in hindsight is also very obvious.

Weekend plans are pretty small, still got 3 discs from season 1 of The Shield to watch and that’s about it. Everyone in the office has given Charlies Angels 2 a big thumbs up as being lots and lots of fun so I do want to see it and may do so tomorrow. My flatmate is gone away for week so a quiet weekend on the couch doing nothing is very possible. Tonight will also be quiet, the 4 regulars for heading out are not around, so I’m thinking about heading into town for some comics and then home to read.

In fact I think I like that plan a lot, but may even modify it to stay in town and go and see something in the cinema. Shall see how it goes. I’m certainly not feeling 100%. You know what you feel like when you suddenly realise that you have not eaten for a while and are loosing energy and becoming lethargic? I’ve felt like that since yesterday morning depsite having had full and even in some cases healthy meals!

*shrug* perhaps a little apathy here aswell. More later maybe.

I’m feeling quite a bit better now, took some neurofen as soon as I got home and West Wing making me laugh hysterically at one stage I think helped.

So the summit is over and I’m going to back at my desk tomorrow. It’s taken a hell of a lot out of me, much more than I expected. Overall it was good, I think we have some very solid results to build on and the start of a roadmap. It’s pretty much covering a year and I could be involved in more than I had originally thought. Not sure yet if this is a good thing.

Actually I did want to say something else on the summit front. I think I held my own quite well and I know that I contributed a lot. I’m happy with that, it’s not all that often something like this comes up so I’m very happy to think that I handled it well.

Having said all that, thank fuck tomorrow is Friday. The weekend is going to be good. I am going to sleep late and take it easy. Another cinema event I think.

There has been lots of other stuff over the past few days, but a couple of them require more thought to get down here than I really want to spend now.

The phrase “existing in London” rang very true with me today. I don’t really know how to even go into that one and it’s probably not something for here but it’s up there right now. Reminds me of an old Radiohead line I really like; “I’m not living, I’m just killing time”.

Not heard anything from my parents since Wednesday night so I assume there has not been anymore calls. I’ll catch up with them over the weekend.

I’m tired, everything else can wait until tomorrow.

I’m tired and I feel like shit. The past three days have really taken their toll on me and I want to just go home and sleep.

I have some new West Wing on video thanks to Shug and I’m looking forward to that lots. I wish I had tomorrow off work, I could so do with the sleeping late. Guess Saturday will just have to do.

More later, maybe. Depends on whether the asprin kicks in or not. My head hurts lots.

Rumours of my death…

So I was at a network summit yesterday and interestingly enough I learnt some things about caller id. It is interesting to note that you cannot actually block it. You can with hold it from the other person’s view but it still goes through. The networks always have it.

Why is this interesting?

Well, the person who left a voicemail on my parents home phone last night telling them that I had been killed in car crash but who withheld their number is I think going to find this piece of information interesting.

Good timing on your part tho, seen as I wasn’t online at all during the day as I would normally be and I had my phone turned off. By chance I was grabbing email before dinner and my desk phone rang.

Off to day two, when things really get interesting and then another work dinner tonight. 2 free meals in two days running. It’s been a while since I’ve had anything like that from work 😉

Well today was interesting in a good way.

I have a much better understanding of our network now and how we manage it. This is a good thing 🙂

Dinner now.

I’m out of the office at a summit all day tomorrow and maybe some of Wed/Thur. Could be interesting, no scrap that, it will be interesting and very relevant and I’m kinda looking forward to it.

Anyway I have just decided that I don’t care about writing anything else here now.

So in other news, last night was bad. I wasn’t able to get to sleep for hours. I went to bed pretty early and just lay there. Not fun.

In this morning’s news I’ve had something bothering me for a week or so. Now that Dave has moved on as our boss I’m reporting directly to our Director of Technology which is 3 levels above me. So while there are things I would normally take to my line manager as being issues, I don’t know if I really want to take them to director level even if he is right now my line manager. It brings a lot more to the situation than is perhaps needed. It’s just one of those things.

New DVD releases this week and next include West Wing, CSI and The Shield. Might have to see about one of them when I get paid on Friday. Roll on Friday.

This week could be interesting. Wednesday night out I have a dinner after work which is well controversial to say the least but could be a good laugh. The rest of the week I’m not sure on yet.

Ohh I see we are streaming the new Jane’s Addiction album. I’ve been hearing very good things about this so will have to give it a whirl today. Ohh again, alongside that is some Bjork from the Opera House in Covent Garden, also worthy of a listen I think.
