IBM Day 2 & F****d ankle = no day 3!
Work yesterday was pretty good. I finally got my laptop so I could actually do something, except this program that was supposed to be installed wasn't so now I got it but no connection to the internet or the IBM network *pout*. Anywyas, hopefully that will be fixed tomorrow. I also got to sit in on a conference call which was pretty boring because they used a whole lotta acronyms I don't know. Not much else happened...although I did miss my bus going home. I went to the nearest bus stop not knowing which way it was going but knowing it was the right bus. And some 10mins later when the bus rocked up I asked the driver if he was going to Flinders St and he said, "well eventually...(after a whole lotta stops and a 7 min wait at the end before it turned around)...you just missed one on the other side of the road". So I walked across the other side of the road to catch the bus lagging this bloody heavy laptop along and then when that bus finally turns up some 20mins later, it turns out it was that same one that was on the other side of the bus *sigh*. Then there was a tram ride to Melbourne Park to meet Mum who took a year to get out because of bloody Leyton Hewitt not holding his damm serve *pout* so yeah, took me a long time to get home yesterday.
Oh and another thing, working for IBM who make laptops you'd think they'd give you new, *small* laptops, but nooo, everyones working of them really old chunky thinkpads *pout*.
Anyways, so onto my F-ed up ankle...last night I had basketball. We only had 4 players and about 15mins into the game I rolled my ankle. We had to play with 3 players (and the opposition had 7 in total), and needless to say we ended up getting thumped 29-5. I did manage to hobble onto the court and kinda just stand at one end towards the end of the game to kinda try and help out but I didn't end up doing to much. That night my ankle was pretty fine, I could move it besides it being a bit swollen but this morning I woke up and it was so sore I couldn't even put any weight on it. So yeah...went to see a doc, she told me to get crutches so now I'm a hobble.
Didn't go into work, which I felt terrible about since it was my 3rd day and I was supposed to be meeting all these other people today, but my supervisor was really nice about it *phew*. She says I don't have to come in tomorrow, but I think I better. Hopefully I can drive! I just moved my car this morning and thought I stepped on the break but didn't do it hard enough and almost crashed into the garage *eep*
So tomorrow, I'm going to work and hopefully the tennis after to the Heniken Beer garden to meet with some friends to watch Thirsty Merc. I'm not a huge fan of theirs but I've heard they're good live.
