It got off to a promising start, but quickly fell apart as usual. Got up at 9 on Friday morning, had a nice cooked breakfast with Graham and did ten hours at work. Then spent all night wasting time online until about 5am before finally sleeping. Not surprisingly, the next morning I couldn't get up quite so early. Still, I managed about 11, and did ( Read more... )

Today was a long and tiring day, which fits in pretty well with the rest of the week. On Wednesday, we ran the new system at work, which went pretty well in the afternoon. When it got to five, we'd normally switch back to the old system for the evening shift, but we'd had no troubles all day, so called Darius to ask if he'd like to run it for the ( Read more... )

Well, today didn't go very well. The only thing I actually had to achieve today was to install a motherboard into a new case, get an operating system and a database server on it, and have it act as a backup for the main server until Monday, when their roles would be switched ( Read more... )

Helloes. I'm not particularly having a great time, but things are happening still. I couldn't get through to Darius most of Wednesday, so I couldn't see him then, but once I finally did get through to him I said I needed to see him very soon, and the next day was agreed. So, on Thursday we had a brief meeting and I confirmed the details of what ( Read more... )

Now there's something I don't understand; because I had some early appointments to keep this week, I've been getting up quite early, and since I've not had particular work to do in the evening, I've been going to bed early. However, although for the last few days I've been going to bed well before midnight, and having between eight and ten hours ( Read more... )

It worked, mostly. The night was actually very strange; I went to bed when I said I was, but only managed to sleep for a couple of hours. When I woke up though, I didn't wake up completely, and instead stayed in some half-concious state for several hours after that. I was still dreaming, and felt 'rested', but I was still awake enough to notice ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been unconcious for most of the last week. I've spent every night working until at least 6am, and then got into bed to 'rest', and found myself getting up about ten hours later. After that there's not really much to do but eat dinner and wait for 'bedtime' to come round again so I can get back to work. Since I'd been told to work ( Read more... )

Helloes! Thought it was about time I updated again, and what better time than the early morning after Christmas day? Okay, the answer to that is probably 'any time', but everyone's gone to bed leaving nothing else to do, and I'm feeling quite good so now will do ( Read more... )

I've been ignoring you for a while, but I suppose I'd better write sometime. It's not that I don't want to, just that every time there's been an oppertunity I haven't felt in the mood for writing. I could try anyway, but trust me, you don't want me to ( Read more... )

Well, that meeting went absolutely nothing like I expected it to. Needless to say I didn't want to go, but it had to be done sometime. Darius was actually there when I arrived though, which already makes a change from the usual. I went downstairs to the office to meet him, and he told me what he wanted to get done. Just to get the software ( Read more... )
