I haven't written in a while and someone is telling me I should update my page. I guess she's right.
I didn't end up going to the cricket yesterday. It looked like a pretty crappy day and I hadn't rung my magical friend to get the tickets. Plus the Bossman (who was going to go with me) had flown back down to Wellington. Having got home at 4am that same morning, I think he did quite a good job to catch his plane.
It was Tony's last day on Friday. Yup, no more Tony, on Tuesday he starts the move down to Napier. Seeya Tony, I'm going to miss you!
We brought him some cool going away presents, a book entitled "Words on Calm" which we pretended the Network Operations Centre had given him (he always used to like to scream abuse at them), plus a nice bottle of wine and a coffee table book with excellent photos of New Zealand.
That's why the Boss Man didn't get home till 4am to his hotel.
We went down to WildFire for a feed, then Emi met up with us and we went to Danny O'Doolgans. An OK Irish pub. Some photographer dude took our picutures and put them up on a website, I'll find the link later and add it here.
I went into Subway a little drunk *cough* and hassled the poor subway man. He was not impressed that I kept trying to turn his little cookie box thing around when he wasn't looking. Poor abdul. I thought it was funny. I still do.
Boss man finally came through Friday with his promise of a new mobile phone. It's a Sony Ericcson T200, in case you care. It doesn't have InfaRed, which I really wanted, but it does have GPRS, which is even better. Means I can take my laptop anywhere and have fast internet access (long as there is cell phone coverage)
It's nothing too fancy, but it's black and sexy looking.
What else? Oh yea, I have a funky black "TelstraClear Black Caps" cap. Pity that I go for the Australian cricket team instead.
Emi's new coffee machine is really funky. Not only does it do Espresso it also does drip filter coffee. It does them both really well too, the flat whites that it makes are just like being at a cafe. If not better. And cheaper.
That's about all really.
