Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

Lakeside

Thursday December 18th, 2003 at 20:28pm

What’s the point of the platform indicator at Chafford Hundred? There’s only one platform! Just spent £200 on new suit, shirt and shoes. Bit more than I meant to, but I have to look my best tomorrow. Well, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it ; ) Been told that I might not be needed in the office tomorrow...so might get to surprise Nikki and Lenny, who are down for the day and think they’ll only be seeing me for a bit after work. Might see if they want to visit the bass shop in Wapping, coz I reckon Lenny’d love that. Keeping my fingers, legs and eyes crossed about the job interview tomorrow...Hope I get it. Lots of cute things wandering about in Lakeside, but I’m in the wrong mood for it all at the moment. I need a holiday but can’t afford one at the moment. That’s one thing I really won’t miss about contracting...

LOL. The job interview confirmation letter got tagged as spam. Marvellous! Their offices don’t appear to be in Central London, but in Hammersmith, which is a bit of a downer, but I’ll cope...

Lunchness

Thursday December 18th, 2003 at 12:21am

Bought a steam cuisine M&S thingy for lunch, which I’m about to go cook...I discovered an “email my password” link in helm, so Harry sent me the new password for the circus2iraq site. It’s now all back and lovely and I don’t think there’s anything missing as far as I am aware. Need urgently to work out how to script lftp and bash/sh enough to have it log in and grab the databases for both it and freakcity every night, to obtain some kind of incremental backup. I suspect I may need a little help with that one ; ) Not much to do in work, for a change, looking forward to the interview tomorrow though. Should be fun ; ) Might go shop tonight and buy a suit as mine’s a bit threadbare... : (

I have an interview!

Thursday December 18th, 2003 at 8:46am

Worked from home yesterday, but there wasn’t that much to do, so chilled out a bit too. Got a phonecall from the agency saying I have an interview at 9am on Friday. Got a hurried and panicky email from fisheye as the www.circus2iraq.org site is down. It was on the same server as freakcity was, so emailed tech support to try and obtain the new password for it. Rewrote the journals a bit, the profiles and edited bits. The public and members only bits are now (as they should always have been) running from the same code. Headed off to the Barbican for Return of the King. It is incredible. Sooo damn good, even if the ending was all wrong. Go see! Nice to see Andy Serkis appearing in his actual face at the start too, even if he *does* look scarily like Mark Thomas ; ) Got home, had been sent an incorrect password for circus2iraq so went to bed. Still not got the right password, am hoping it’ll arrive by the time I get to the office
