Halfhearted and fruitless.

Thought about writing some software that writes XML for the palm that makes blogging on the move easier...dunno. Spent some time wandering pointlessly around Oxford Street looking for pressies for people, but it was all too busy. Had a naugty KFC and now I’m DLRing home...

District line.

Tuesday December 16th, 2003 at 18:23pm

Working from home tomorrow. Should get a chance to fix my puncture I hope. Also, should get a chance to work out why on earth my Exchange 2000 server appears dead. Wish someone would hurry up and phone me and tell me when that damn interview is. Ugh. Busker playing guitar shittily in the tube carriage. “Everything’s gonna be alright”. It so isn’t. Dan gave me a lift back to London as he lives near Wimbledon - we figured it’d be safer than trying to work out where the fuck Cobham station is by road, as neither of us knew. He suggested the mud path then mentioned that he might need a Sherman Tank to do it...so I ended up at Hammersmith - fortunately I’ve been there before, taking the tranny to the hospital, so I knew my way to the station. Abandoned the choob as he was a bit annoying. Jumped on a number 8 instead. Now stuck in traffic but in a good way. Someone has projected hearts all over the big arch thing in Grosvenor square. Very odd. Thinking about going for a drink tonight but not sure as there’s crap all to do on a Tuesday. All the pretty christmas lights get me down : (

Posh lunch0r

Tuesday December 16th, 2003 at 14:31pm

Lunch in St James’ Park Tennis Club (think that was its name), Weybridge... Big burger and chips. Nice, if a little borgeouise... Was an odd mood over food, our team is made up of both CP and Critical people, so half of us are jobless and half of us aren’t. Talked about Christmas as if nothing was wrong. They were all talking about their families and what they were going to be doing and it struck me how much I’m missing being with someone I can do that kind of thing with. Back to the office. Why do Mercedes Benz have varnished and stained hardwood everywhere? It’s so tacky. Then again, so are cream leather seats. Lovely and comfortable though ; ) Got bugger all to do now, cept wait on BAs

On the train...

Tuesday December 16th, 2003 at 9:19am

09:19 - On a train. Not sure if I should phone the office and see if there’s anyone around who wants to pick me up from the station, or if I should just walk. No one should have to see Wimbledon this early in the morning. Not sure if I should negotiate with CP to get out of my month’s notice or not. I don’t want to be sat in the office doing bugger all, even if they *are* paying me for it. It’s a shame they’ve taken this route, they’ve destroyed a company and wasted a fortune only to give the design to people incapable of completing it...ah well, not my problem any more... So I have a week left in Cobham, various bits and bobs to , even though my heart isn’t really in it. Hoping I can work from home tomorrow as it’s Lord of the Rings in the evening, which should be good : ) Spent some time redoing my site in DHTML last night...kinda works ok, but I want to make the text writer function into an object and I’m not 100% sure how to. For now, there’s a “coming soon” bit - will work on it some more later.

Puncture II

Beautiful morning (clicky)

Got ANOTHER flat tyre. Had to walk the bike back from Aldgate. Grr. So it’s now 08:55 and I should be in Cobham. But I’m not, I’m on the Waterloo Line. Pah. No news yet about the interview. Hopefully will hear soon. God, I’d forgotten the fun you have, writing Graffiti on the tube...
