Sem 2 Week 11

Week 11 a slightly less busy week then others but in the lead up to a week off with no deadlines that happens.

Monday

Ok well a pretty normal Monday, team meeting and group meeting. I got some work done during the team meeting but not as much as id like (still lots to do). Very little work got done by me once we moved from the meeting room. Once I left for my Clayton class I just didn’t see the point (the lecture is worthless, well all the ones ive been to have been), so I waited and just went home.

Tuesday

Well it was off to work before uni, which was ok. Had my building safety briefing and met the mobile content editor who I will be working with quite a bit from now on, hopefully this should set me and Woods up to do this work from home/uni. Made it to uni for lectures (well I attended one skipped the other) the IE lecture about the expo was very interesting and lots to try and work out. I skipped my other lecture for the day and instead watched wall-e. It’s quite a good movie. Went to class and watched 2 presentations then it was off home a lot earlier then normal for that class.

Wednesday

Wednesday was software eng at Clayton and before class I met up with my team mate and we set up a lot of work to be done in the week off. It wasn’t that bad of a class and I got a little work done, until I got a call from the Police. Basically it was to organise a time for me to come in and give a statement about the night I called the police for a girl that had been robed. No biggy really, some people blew this out of proportion. So I spent the rest of the class planning which bus I would need to take and when to leave uni, and then I went to the Police station gave my statement and got a lift home (unfortunately there was no siren use).

Thursday

Thursday started with 3 hr at work with almost nothing to do and no internet. This was soooooo boring so I did a whole heap of IE work, im quite surprised at how much I had gotten done. I also hadn’t been paid so I talked to my boss and he rang the pay department and if im not paid in next weeks cycle there will be problems, so I guess ill just have to budget a little till then. Then it was off to uni for a pretty standard afternoon, of HCI Tutorial, wasting time, and sitting through HCI lecture. The lecture was soooo annoying, im in IT I have a laptop and I haven’t written any notes since I got the laptop it just doesn’t happen, why write when I can type, but the lecturer had the great idea to ban laptops because so many people find his class boring and don’t turn up, and then of those that do (me for example) spend some time scanning the lecture slides from online then quietly surf the net. Probably not the best thing to do but meh its how I feign interest in that lecture.

Friday

Well Friday was to say the least relaxing. Did very little all day then went to a mates place and drank for a while. It was a really good night, I met his neighbours (at like 1-2am), I opened and finished a bottle of good ole Jack Daniels and then a short walk home with a little rearranging of construction signs along the way.

Saturday

The best way to start a Saturday is with a call from the previous nights drinking buddy with them feeling like absolute shit, when your feeling like you’ve just had the best nights sleep in weeks without any hint of a hangover, and that’s what I woke up too (don’t mix your drinks kiddies, or you'll be the one with the hangover it seems). So with it being grand final day, with 2 grand final parties to try and get too, a 21st that night we worked out what we would do for the day. With more of an interest on catching up with people we decided to hit up both parties for a while and headed off. In the end after a detour to my mates brothers for his birthday between both parties we saw very little of the match but made it to the second party in time for presentations and the spa. Before too long though it was time to go home and get ready for the 21st. The theme of which was something starting with E, and I went Eighties. Anyway it was a really good party and meant another late one but then getting a taxi was hell, especially with it being grand final day and the house we were at being blacklisted (ie no taxis to that address), so in the end my younger sister woke my older sister up and so I got a ride home and didn’t have to walk all the way home.

Sunday

So it seems it’s been another day of doing nothing while awake, but apparently when im asleep I can find my set of keys to my parent’s cars and produce them for dad when he can’t find his key to mums car, all without waking up. I had no idea about this till later I saw said keys on the stairs instead of where I keep my keys and that’s when I got told what happened. I went and helped a friend with her laptop but it seems its hard drive is dead (well that’s what the BSOD was saying) so I think she’s going to have to wait for her dad to get back from overseas to do much with it. Then I procrastinated and am finally doing my blog at 3 in the morning because the internet can be very interesting when you’re not in the mood to do a blog.
