I Slept Terribly Last Night

Published by NiteMayr on August 1, 2006

My wife and I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in what seems like ages, but it lets her see a great number of movies!

Last night, for example I fell asleep while we were watching Final Destination 3 (which should be subtitled, “this time we gross you the hell out”) she went on to watch a couple more movies (possibly District 13, I don’t know when I woke up again at 2 AM she was wathcing VH1)

She has been getting up in the night and doing aerobics and weights, I can’t say I disapprove as she would be up anyway, and she really wants to get into shape.
I’m going to remind myself of a funny story from work today, by making the cryptic reference to Dilbert and finger flicking being as productive as anything else at some points.

Good Advice, Not So Much

What was the worst advice you ever received? Did you follow it?

Always think of your old friends before your new friends.

I had just spent a long evening with a new fiend, who admitted to cheating on her Boyfriend with a friend of mine and her Cousin.  I stupidly thought I’d be doing her Boyfriend (an older friend of mine) a favour by telling him, instead I dropped the final nail in the coffin of an already dead relationship and ruined forever many other friendships with people who thought I couldn’t be trusted.

Damn.

So, I ended up working today anyway

For some reason, the only time people call me at home [from work]  is when I’m sick.  If I’m just home (vacation, before or after work) no calls. People don’t even call when I’m just away from my desk for some reason.  Get me at home resting off a cold or something and BRRRINNNGGGGG, the cell phone sputters to life.

Today it was calls and a big issue (an important domain name expired) I worked with the guys at work and we worked up a couple of workarounds.  Here’s hoping the workaround is enough to keep the dogs of war at bay as this issue will affect literally hundreds thousands of customers, possibly millions.  Fingers Crossed, eh?
