Things Hate Me

Network upgrades last night, they're always something to look forward to. Not. Lets just say if it could go wrong, pretty much, it went wrong. I'm suprised that things didn't catch on fire the way it was all going. I finally managed to get out of there at 7am this morning, after starting at midnight pretty much. I'd been asleep for about an hour when I got a phone call about something else (another big customer, not working, people singing the "oh shit" dance etc) so here I am back at work. Little sleep in the last 35 hours and not very happy. And I can't even have tomorrow off as I've got a whole bunch of stuff that I've promised I'll do tomorrow. I tell you what though, Tuesday/Wednesday my phone is going to suffer a "malfunction" and I'm not going to be at work.

Not much else to say really, most of yesterday was me in at work getting ready for last night. Fat lot of a good that did in the end! All the problems we had though weren't due to mistakes on our part, just due to things not working as they're supposed to, and a bunch of wankers in Hong Kong who we had to try and work with. There is the problem that they speak terrible english, which I wouldn't mind at all if they had half a clue. But they don't. My coffee mug sitting here in front of me 1/2 full of icky looking stuff from yesterday has way more intelligence and brains than they ever will. Arrrrgh scream.

Sorry, I'm ranting. I'll try and say something happy. Even though it's pissing with rain here. Oh, wait. That wasn't a good start to the "I'm going to be happy" thing was it? Oh well stuff it. I care.

Hi Rob, Hi Denny. I hope things are going well for you with the baby on the way. Good to talk to you last night Rob, good luck with the job interview. I'm sure you'll kick arse.

Hello Mother too, if you're reading. Sorry I haven't called you of late, but our phone has a toll bar on it at the moment and I can't really call you from my mobile. But I will call you, ok?

How sad is that? I'm telling my mother I'll call her on my website. I think the little men in white lab coats and jackets are going to pull up any minute now and drag me off to the funny farm and lock me away for a few weeks. That's probably not such a bad idea right at the moment, at least then maybe I'd be a bit of peace and quiet.

Just to prove that I'm actually perfectly Ok, here's a pretty funny joke Hera sent to me the other day (thanks!)

Nothing worse than a problem with booze.

Damn, that is a very wet pussy.

Time for some more coffee, a few more phone calls, then hopefully a trip home back to bed!
