Monday. 17th. Slept mostly ok - although took me a while to get to sleep - it's been *cold* the last two nights - like 3 or 4 C overnight. House work before work. Work work at work. It was so cold in the house I had to put my jeans on! Salad for lunch. Salad takes a long time to prepare and eat, did you know? Had a 45 minute lunch break, and most of that was taken up with prepping and eating. And I still ended up hungry by like 16:30. Booked a hotel in Adelaide. Realised the angel tank was leaking *again*. Even with a stone weighing it down, the filter had drifted over into the edge of its compartment into the outflow compartment, backing everything up. Not so serious this time but sheesh. Need a heavier stone. Stumpy has decided he's not very hungry anymore this summer. Salmon and salad for dinner. More time taking prepping food and eating food. At least the salad can be done while the meat is cooking, and the eating can be done while watching TV. Watched Return to Paradise 1.3. Another preposterous setup for a murder. Reminded me a bit of Death of a Detective from season 3 of Death in Paradise. Then a few minutes of hobbies and suddenly it's bed time. hrmm. Also, turns out maltitol is really bad for the sweetie's bowels.
Tuesday. Slept mostly ok. Spent the morning going through a log of stuff other teams have deleted, so can list all the things we need to do to clean up after them. Did some scripting in the afternoon. Fixed my foreach statement with a where-object, because sometimes arrays are not really arrays, but you apply a where-object to them and then you can work with them. Sheesh powershell is dumb sometimes. Wondered if I could compile all Mum's family photos in two weeks. So put in a start on it. Leftovers for dinner. Return to Paradise 1.4. Finished a Nanoblocks set I got at Green Shed sorry Vinnies sorry Goodies Junction.
Wednesday. Slept mostly ok.
Potato fruit!
Bit of decom thinking, but too many meetings to get much done. Bit of scripting in the afternoon. Thought it was green bin week. The green bin is full. But no, it's recycling week. The recycling bin is only 1/3 full. Sigh. Leftovers for dinner. Return to Paradise 1.5. Continued frustration with Windoze which constantly opens text files ON THE OTHER DESKTOP!! Like, I have Notepad open in my current desktop. I open a text file and it opens in the current desktop. But a minute later I open another text file and it opens ON THE OTHER DESKTOP. I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TO THE OTHER DESKTOP!! Sigh. Backed up computer, washed hair, bed.
Thursday. Slept mostly ok. Found the lovely pleco in the downstairs two foot tank had died overnight. I don't get it. It seemed happy enough yesterday. Today, dead. Sigh. Also a bunch of guppies in the two foot are looking sick with red gills. I don't get that either - that's the healthiest tank we have and I even did a water change last weekend. Lots of crap at work, feeling like not getting anything useful done.
Jim and Ray did a pizza feast to commemorate all the shut down and decom work we've been doing (remember all those migrations I did last year? we decommed the hardware just recently).
Then drinks and more pizzas. Finale of Return to Paradise season 1. Much like the other series, the setups for the murders are completely ridiculous.
Friday. Awake from like 3:30 or 4 or so. Sigh. Another day of a lot of crap and distractions and feeling like not achieving much. Stu cooked miso mushrooms and cauliflower rice for dinner which was very nice.
Then we started into Deep Space Nine. Stu watched this himself years ago but I didn't watch it with him at the time. He wanted to watch it again so we're watching it now. Early night on account of early morning.
Saturday. So I went to bed relatively early, but not early enough, so it took til nearly midnight for me to get to sleep. Sigh. Stoopid being too tired to go to sleep. Just tired and restless.
Mostly house stuff in the morning. Was freaking out about my todo list. Then spent the ENTIRE afternoon tagging people in Picasa. Sigh. But I did find out you can simply move out the two database directories in and out and so therefore have different databases for different folders of files. Handy if you want to keep the tagged people in different groups. Like I want to keep work peeps separate to friends and family. Leftovers for dinner then Stranger Things 1.4. Early night.
Sunday. Early night again and then slept mostly ok which was nice. Spent all morning on photo filing and tagging. When I probably should have been doing crap I won't be able to do the next couple of weekends. Bit more "productive" in the afternoon, including cooking all the food.
