Blast from the Past - 19th March

2008: We were having the weirdest internet issue at home, we had three laptops that connected fine to the wireless router and a fourth that would connect but couldn't get any internet access, that laptop connected fine to two other wireless networks though so we were totally flummoxed!

Some managers at work took it upon themselves to remove useless files from the shared server folder for my team and when I checked it they'd removed useful files as well, I had to go to my own manager to sort it all out!

This entry ends:

Well, better log off and get to bed. Douglas keeps coming up to me to make sure I haven't forgotten to give him his bed time treat! G'Night! x

aww bunny :D

2009: Utter madness at work as contractors replaced all our filing racks with one with lockable doors and put our 1000s of files back not in the right order! We also got to have a meeting with a really high up manager and told him that our office was doing badly because we'd had no new recruitment for a few years and the age profile was skewing heavily towards retirement age.

I went to see Marley and Me and cried a lot in the cinema!

2010: I caught a 24 hour stomach bug and had to call in sick for work.

2011: I'd enjoyed seeing Derren Brown live in Brighton a few days before, it had turned out to be a preview of his new show so he was apparently still ironing out the routines, not that you could tell!

I went to a farewell do for the woman who sat next to me at work, she was retiring and moving to Kefalonia! A bunch of us had a wonderful afternoon/evening at a local pub and I got to know some people better that I'd not really talked to properly before.

One thing I discovered was that one woman who was always complaining to me about two other people was actually entirely wrong about them, and chatting to them made me realise they were actually pretty cool people!

One of them made a good point that our team wasn't paid enough to worry as much as we do about our work, which she was totally correct about!

I was looking forward to a trip out with some friends to play laser tag, which was going to be my first time ever doing that (and actually I haven't had a chance to go since!)
