Back into the Daily Grind

I started off today sleeping way past my expected wake up time. Dad was knocking on my door. I was meant to give him a lift to Glendalough. Woops! So I rushed out of bed, was dressed in seven minutes flat and hurried to the car. I dropped him off and got home not long after. I had a nice hot shower and got dressed (again). It was off to work on the bike this morning as it was a quite pleasant 8°C.

In the office, there was nobody there except Brad. The boss rolled in well after 0900, so I wasn't in much of a rush to get anything started. My diary filled up pretty quickly with all the things that needed doing from the last two weeks.

By lunch time, Brad and I were going crackers. We needed food, and we needed to vent. Luckily the sun was also out so I enjoyed some more solar power!

After the Hot and Spicy Box from the Wok place in Belmont, it was back to it, with crisis after crisis of people not doing what they are hired to do... no surprises really!

Even though I was busy, I didn't get much done at all today. And I had absolutely no motivation to take my laptop home either.

Tonight is maya time. I've reset my router and I'm going to try to fix that damn SATA problem with my DVD burner. Otherwise the older one is going back in.

EDIT: Aaaaand, the ADSL just cut out again. For the love of money! Ah well, might just send an angry email to Netgear and do a warranty job.

EDIT 2: Heeeuuuuuge thanks to Glen for helping me remain calm and going through BIOS settings with me. Who would have thought that the thing with the thing changes that other thing and SATA and RAID and CMOS and IDE and stuff! :S
Anyway, the drives all work! I managed to change the fascia on the burner while I was at it and it looks heaps better. YEY!

In other news, got some more fencing gear in today. Can't wait to try it out on Wednesday!
