I went out for lunch yesterday with Tony and a couple of the guys from one of our vendors. No names will be mentioned to protect the guilty parties. Lunch started out at 12:30 at a nice little dodgy Chinese place.

We had a beer. Some food. Another beer. Bit more food. Planning and network discussions. Another beer. Ooops is it 2pm? Another beer. Time to leave the Chinese place because they ran out of beer.




Off to another pub. A few more bevvies. Some serious discussion about the network and ways to improve it. Mulitple lagers. More heated discussion. Lagers. 6pm. Pub closes. Tony makes the wise move to go home. We move to another pub. More lagers, less heated discussion, more complaining and sluring. Lagers. Attempting to explain point, not making sense. 7:30pm. 3 large steaks arrive. We eat Tea. Lagers. I decide it's 8pm and really time...

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in the middle of town because I missed the bus home by about 30 seconds. Next one comes in half an hour. I've just come back from Avondale, my new house!


I've been out visiting my friend Hera and to check out her place. She's currently looking for a flatmate, so it looks like I'll be moving in. I've had enough of my current place, it's nice etc, but I'll be nice to flat with someone again. Plus here's pretty expensive, and the landlord, well, Jesus loves the landlord, but everyone else thinks he's a cunt.

I'm definately feeling much better than I was on Saturday when I went to the Dr. I guess this means that I don't have Glandular fever, thank god for that. Jesus loves me. Wonder what everyone else thinks? ;)

Anyway, back to Hera's (and now my) new house...

I'm feeling much better than I have in the last few days. Here's hoping that these little pills I've got here are working! The last thing I want is to have Glandular Fever.


I can't believe how much I've been sleeping though. I slept all yesterday pretty much, every time I tried to watch a movie I'll fall asleep about 3 times. Oh yes, if you ever have the option of viewing "Dude, Where's My Car", run away as fast as you can, screaming "Noooooo, make it go away!!!" The movie has about 2 funny bits in it, and 100mins of total shit. Avoid like the plauge.

Umm yea. That's all I had to say really. Just cleaning the flat up today. It's got a little messy the last few days while I've been sick. I need to get a maid. Hopefully I won't be here much longer anyway.

It's...

I went to the Doctors today. Werid isn't it. I've had a live in Dr for the last 2 months, and 3 days after she leaves to go back I actually need to see a Dr because I'm sick. The world works in mysterious ways. But anyway, I either have:


1) A really bad throat infection.


2) Glandular Fever.




I'm hoping like hell it's the first one. The Dr said it could be 50/50 as to what it is, but she's given me a bunch of antibiotics. She said if I don't get better in 48 hours or so, I'll have to go in for some blood tests and stuff. Yaaaaaa I'm so happy. Not.


You have to get a little bit worried when the Dr looks in your mouth and says "My God! That is not what I was expecting to see at all". That freaked me out a...

Because I know how much you groovers love photos, click here to see some of the pictures that Bianca scanned and sent back to me from her time here in NZ.

Not much else to say. I've been home sick for 1/2 the day today. I don't actually feel bad or terrible, I just feel a bit tired and I can't actually swallow anything at all. I think I have a throat infection. If it doesn't get any better tomorrow I'll go and see Mr Dr to see if he can fix me up!

That's it groovers!

Got up this morning with a bit of a sore head, we went out last night with some friends of Bianca's. It was her last night in town and it was perfecting timing too, today is a public holiday. It's the day that some dudes made a bit of a treaty with some other dudes and stuff, and they all got jiggy wi' it and decided to make it a holiday. Am I complaining? No.

I woke Bianca up at 9am and she asked me to wake her up at 10am instead. That happened a few times, she got out of bed eventually at 1pm! Her flight was at 5pm! I rushed into town to pick her photos and my photos!! Finally I have all the photos I took in Australia and there are some really good photos too.

Anyway, I've waved her off! Hi B if you're reading this...

Stupid damn hair dye. We got home late yesterday from a 1/2 day at Wahikie Island (what a fantastic day that was too) and did the ol' hair dye trick.

Check out the final result here

But after I jumped in the shower, it all washed out!! Now I'm back to normal hair.

I'm so annoyed.

The End.

Tim

Boss rang me up this morning and said I'm allowed to dye my hair. So tonight when I get home I'm going to get B to help me do it.

Yup, I'm a freak.

And don't talk to me about the cricket. I don't want to know. I've already had a few pricks ring me up to sing at me. Smartarse bastards.

Had to work last night, that was lots of fun. Worked from about 1am thru until about 3am. I didn't bother to go bed after that though, I'm stupid. So I decided to sit up and watch the sunrise. Which I did. Then after that I thought I'd have a little lie down on the couch, for just second. That second turned out to be about 3 hours.


So that's why I'm dead tired at the moment, cause I've only had 3 hours sleep. This is no one's fault but my own. So don't feel sorry for me. Not that I expected you would.

Have you seen the movie As Good As It Gets? If not then you need to. It's fantastic. I haven't finished watching it and I'm already raving about it.


Still from someone that calls his favourite movies Clerks, Pulp Fiction and Terminator 2, you wouldn't want...

Most people who know me know I have always wanted to dye my hair blue. Why? I don't know. I just do. I don't want to have it blue for long, just a week or so. Because I can. So I sent the boss this email yeseterday...

Subject: Company Policy?

Peter,

What is the company policy on hair colour?

ie: Is blue bad?

Cheers,

TiM

I'll let you know what his reply it. It also just happens that I have some blue (and dark purple) hair dye.

Should I be allowed to (he rang me this morning and said he thinks it'll be OK, but he has to check with Human Resources) I'll be sure to get the webcam out.
