There should be a law that they are not allowed to knock on your door until the afternoon. 9:30am is just not the time to be knocking on people's door trying to sell the the way of our lord. I was going to tell them what I thought of the good lord at 9:30, but they were very young and I might have hurt their delicate ears. Or something. Next time I'll just wear my Satan T-Shirt and grin like a mad bastard.

Work was busy as hell yesterday. Got to work only to discover that smell of fresh turd on a fan. There's been quite of bit of that at work lately, and a few people have had rockets inserted into nasty places so I've been told. I've been a good boy though and managed to avoid the rocket insertion plan. Our new network is rolling ahead, and...

Nothing exciting to report today, so if you're actually after content worth reading I suggest you stop reading now. I'm just sitting at home cooking myself tea and having a beer while chilling out on my funky as couch. Work today was as interesting as it always is. At least I get paid, that's the important thing to remember.

The massive holes in the wall from the plumber fixing the leak months ago are still in the bathroom. I wrote the landlord a short-but-to-the-point letter last week in which I stated that if the holes weren't fixed by Friday (tomorrow) I'd have to go to the Tennancy Tribunal. Last night I got a phone call from him saying about how he's sorry and stuff. Some sob story about how he can't get anyone interested to do such a small job. Which is crap, cause about 2 minutes later he had...

I remember when I was a wet-behind-the-ears IT person at Tasmania Police. I was never really this stupid though.

I just got back from the Qantas office. It's located in the bottom of my building, which is rather handy for those times when you want to book flights. Like today, for example. Anyway, I'm now $1,000 poorer, but I do have tickets to Australia. I'm landing in Slowbart on the 24th of December at 11.10am, and flying away again on the 4th of Janurary at 6.05am

See you then.

Oh I love going to the supermarket. There is nothing more exciting, more interesting, more fulfilling than the supermarket. Finding a trolley that doesn't have a violent left pull on it. Fighting the old lady for the last loaf of bread. Realising that you brought way to much crap and it's going to cost and arm and a leg. Oh the joy.

So in case you haven't guessed I went shopping today. I tend to wait until I have nothing at all left in the cupboards, then go and buy shitloads. Which is what I did today. I'm now lots of money lighter, but I think I could survive without leaving my house for the next 3 months.


I made sure I brought lots of heathy food though, and also lots and lots of steak! Feed me Iron!

What else is interesting? Hmm, not much really. Work work and more...

It's been a nice relaxing day today. I like days when I don't have to go to work, they're certainly more preferable than days when I do have to go to work. I haven't done anything exicting today, just sat on the couch and watched TV. I also did a bit of shopping, looked a through some second hand places to see if they had anything interesting to buy, but none of them did.

I just got off the phone from the medical centre. All my tests came back negative, including the test for Glandular Fever. The only interesting thing is my iron count is a bit low, so the nurse suggested that I munch on more big, meaty steaks. That's the best medical advice I've had in ages.

That's all I wanted to say today, that I'm not about to keel over and stuff it.

I'll tell you now this is just going to be me ranting and crapping on (after a few beers), so if I was you I'd really stop reading now.

Got into work last night at about midnight after a few coffees (yes, I've caved. More in a minute) and we worked until about 5:30am this morning. We got everything done with few problems which was good. We ended up at Sky City having breakfast about 6am. It was scary the amount of people who were still up partying or gambling at 6am on Sunday morning, but this is Auckland and all sorts of stuff goes on at all sorts of hours here.

But still, the place we were having breakfast in had a whole bunch of people when we walked in. It was still dark and rainy, but there were a lot of people in the breaky room. We were...

Yes, Saturday night and I'm getting all dressed up. To go to work. Like I've already mentioned today, we're doing some pretty big work tonight, so we're all meeting in at work at midnight. I've already had a nice little afternoon sleep after getting back from the SPCA and I'm just cooking tea at the moment. I love my job!

SPCA today sucked a bit. It was raining really heavily by the time I got out there, and being the only guy on the team naturally I was the sucker who got to walk them (along with someone else)


Of course I didn't bothered to take a rain coat (I don't actually own a raincoat) so by the time the day was over I was soaked through. Plus today I also encountered a mutt who's only pleasure in life was eating clothes. I'm now down 2 socks and one of...

I love Saturday morning. There is nothing better than being able to get up when you want to, not when some annoying clock radio starts playing music and depressing news at you. It's a crappy day here in Auckland, the first for a while. I'm not really too bothered though, I'm going out to the SPCA later then not much until tonight when we're making some late night/early morning changes to the network.

So I moved my homepage again. I decided that muppetz.com might get me sued, so I registered tjharman.com instead. I don't think anyone is going to sue me over that one. It's really not going to move again this time, I promise.

I went over to some friends place last night and watched the movie Traffic. It's good to watch a movie that's not a typical Hollywood happy ending type movie. In fact it was basically a...

Yes we've moved to a new site. I wanted to move away from the muffin.tsnz.net site because that's a company address, not really suitable for a personal website. So I registered muppetz.com the other day and moved the site across today. Now I just hope that the Jim Henson people won't sue me. I'm sure they won't, it's not like I'm misleading people that this bunch of crap has anything to do with the muppets!
