Monday we worked through my firewall issue from Friday and figured out it was a bug in their (second) latest code. Do vendors not *test* their $#!+ anymore??? (this is in addition to our proxy vendors admitting to a bug in *their* latest code this week as well. Completely hopeless). In the evening there was a massive white tail spider in the middle of the hall. And then when I opened the door next to it to see if there were any more, the handle fell off. I might have actually screamed at that. My heart couldn't take two shocks like that!
Tuesday we had a lovely dinner at EffanC's - beef stroganoff. Great to catch up with them after their holiday.
And I finished Candy Crush.
!!
Well, until they released 30 more new levels later in the week.
Wednesday I was going to split up my backups, so brought home the two 2T drives. But one of them hadn't been used in a while, so there was a lot of copying to do so it took all evening. Didn't get to do the other disk, but it was done fairly recently. Now have to rework the schedule.
Thursday I watched some of Hans Zimmer in Prague which was kinda cool. Except for the I whip my hair back and forth cellist, she was pretty annoying. A lot of his soundtracks sound quite similar. But he actually talked to audience and played multiple instruments and seemed like he was having a great time. Cool stuff. Later had a drink with Kit and Pete and lost a game of Kismet.
Friday I got stitched up at 54 Benjamin. They kindly split our bill, but unfortunately charged me for someone else's lunch (either Dave or Connor's) which meant I paid $5 more than I should have :( (Connor gave me some money just in case it was him which was nice of him). Two expensive Friday lunches in a row. I think I've done my dash there for the time being.
I got home tired and cranky from a crazy exhausting afternoon. Had leftovers for dinner and watched Sixteen Candles, which I think I saw when I was in high school and not again since.
Saturday I was at work all day doing upgrades. In the evening we watched the start of the newest season of Veronica Mars (!!!!) and The Spy Who Loved Me.
Today I chugged my way through my todo list, achieving quite a lot. Also did some food shopping. And created my first S3 Bucket. Cooked a carbonara gnocchi from the Women's Weekly Gratins and Bakes book I've had for years but never used. And made some meringues with the leftover egg whites. And more Veronica Mars.
A long time ago, we used to be friends..
