And here's what I think of TelstraClear today.
I have found out that a good workmate of mine, Mark, has been made redundant. I don't know the full story, so maybe it's justified or something. But I can't see how they could justify it. He's one of our best account managers and all round nice guy. All our customers love him. Anyway. Nothing I can do about it. Goodbye Mark, it's been heaps of fun working with you.

I'm so stupid. I left my keys in the cafe yesterday. I went home without them, knowing that I must have lost them somewhere. I got home and wasn't sure how I was even going to get in, but it turns out I was stupid and I'd left the back door unlocked. Can anyone spell Muppet? You spell it T I M.

When I asked the girls at the front desk if someone had handed in keys their faces lit up with a big smile and "Yes!!" like it was the most exciting thing to happen at the front desk in a while. So they gave them back to me and I had a big smile on my face cause I farkin HATE IT when I lose my keys.



Rang my dad last night, Hi Johnnie. We even had a bit of a chat about relationships (unusual for us to...

I got home from Simons and Hera's place last night and I opened up both doors because it was very hot inside. Sat down to play some guitar and chill out when I could hear the sound of plastic bags rattling outside.



I went outside to have a look at what was causing all the noise and there is a hedgehog trying to bury his way into my rubbish bag! No wonder I've gone out before and seen holes in the bags, I thought it was wild dogs but no! It's rubbish hungry hedgehogs. Werid or what? I just redirected him gentle with my shoe, he soon scuttled off as fast as he could once he realised he wasn't going to get eaten.



I went over to Simon and Hera's for tea and Hera cooked a lovely meal as usual. Their apartment is really nice, very modern and open and...

I'm the man! Cricket yesterday was really good, a much better way to spend a Monday afternoon than at work. Our opponents were the Fisher and Paykel boys and they sure knew how to plan a mean game of cricket!

Well not really it was quite a friendly match. You were only allowed to bat for a maximum of five overs before you were automatically out, or a maximum of 25 runs, whichever came first.



Of course I was up to the challenge, scoring a glorious 7. Hey, so maybe it wasn't the best score there, but at least I hit a four! I also got a caught behind from my bowling! I was pretty impressed, my bowling was still quite good even though I haven't played cricket in years.



I have rediscovered this really good site the New Zealand government rules called sorted.org.nz. It basically has a whole...

Webcam snap a day is on hold until I buy a digital camera. There is a good one (the same one that Simon brought) for sale for $350. I'm going to go and layby it tomorrow and pay it off over a couple of months.
Until them they'll be "A webcam snap when I say it's time for a webcam snap"

See, I'm getting good at saving. Usually I'd just impulse buy. But I'm just going to pay a little off at a time.

My ideal weight is 80kgs. I am 88kgs. I need to burn off 8kgs (yes! I can do maths!)
I'm about to go and play cricket for the afternoon, it's a social match between TelstraClear and a customer of ours. Should be fun.

In other news, stuff. Ask me and I'll tell you.

That's all, cricket is calling.

I just cooked cheese and onion toasted sandwiches. They were so tasty, I nearly pooped my panties.

That is all.

PS: I really really need to get around to buying myself a washing machine.

Another crap Auckland morning, dark and overcast. Not raining though, just threatening too. I just woke up from the weirest dream too, I was at university trying to pass my vetenerian exam. And with only 15minutes to go I started writing my answers. There were only two questions too, but they didn't make any sense.

Thankfully my alarm went off to put me out of my misery.

Check out Simon's and Hera's new apartment, it looks really nice. I'm very jealous.

Yesterday was a nice day off. I didn't do much, a bit of work etc, some tidying etc. I didn't get around to organising all my boxes and crap which I'll need to do before I move out of here. I plan to start looking for a new place next week.

That's about all really. Sorry for being so boring.

I had a day off yesterday, nice and relaxing. Just how days off should be. I had this person who kept ringing and ringing my mobile and their number wasn't showing on the Caller ID. So kept ignoring and ignoring. Eventually they left a message, it was a customer who wanted some urgent help. Why didn't they leave a message the first time then? I'd have called them back straight away.

I also went into town yesterday to do a bit of shopping. I brought myself some very very exicting things. I brought a table cloth and some placemats! I'll probably never ever use them again, but hey. They made my table look a bit better and it needed that cause I'd invited Simon and Hera and Annie over for tea.

I also bought myself some electronic scales which work way too well. I weigh 89kgs! I am a FAT...

I have this idea.

I should take a webcam snap each day. Of something interesting, something different.

Sometimes with me in it, sometimes not.

I have a good laptop, so I can be many places and take pictures.

Good idea or bad? Vote please.

I have a day off tomorrow. I can't wait. Means I can sleep in for a bit and then bugger off and do some stuff, like shopping, washing etc. Stuff that I keep meaning to do and never get around to it.



Check out the cool Haikus that people have been writing.

As of next week I am going to be looking for a new place to live. Someone where the rent isn't heaps expensive like my current place. I'll need to find somewhere with a garage and that's within a close distance of work. I'm really happy that I walk to work most days and I want to keep that up. I put my belt on this morning for the first time in a while and it did up to the third notch! It used to feel bad at the second notch, so all this exercise and decent food...
