Today is kind of a special day. Meeting at Alex Georgiades’ place to celebrate the birth of his daughter Irina. Lots of people, vodka, beer, and pizza. His wife and daughter are still in the hospital (hopefully coming out tomorrow), but we had a bunch of pictures to see. Nice party!
After that Hazard and me are off for hotdog and a long talk on the beach. “People are strange, when you are a stranger…” (C) Doors. :)
We went to see “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” today. Excellent movie with almost 2 hours of non-stop action. If you’ve been bored by something like Hulk recently, then Angels will fix you up easily. :) Strongly recommended! Meanwhile, I think I’ll by a DVD.
Rather crazy day at work. Everyone suddenly decided that they should now be on the top of my TODO list, so they proceeded with trying to persuade me to modify my prescuios task list. Some of them actually succeeded.
Fax server went through yet another reanimation and review. Ticketing system configurations were modified several times through the course of the day. Updates were installed on several machines and broken staff fixed where it happened. Aparently, a strange thing happenned with Intranet, where CPAN decided to feed me with versin 3 of the CGI module. I forsee a pain in the near future when it’ll be necessary to upgrade to that. Until of course they’ll fix all the issues like cookies and sessions functionality broken with mod_perl and Embperl thrown into mix. Anyway, today is over. :)
After all the pressure with work after holidays, I decided that I should go slowly about it and requested another two days of for the next week. 1st of October (Wednesday) will be a national holiday, so I’ll stay at home for the following Thursday and Friday also. Not to mention the weekend. Isn’t it a one sneaky plan? :)
Cinema with “Hulk” watching in the evening. That’s one of the most boring movies I’ve ever seen. If you are going to see it, don’t forget a pillow. Your favourite book might also be a good idea, unless of course you think that it’s difficult to read in movie darkness. :)
Wow, it’s really difficult to focus on work after long holidays. I left office at lunch time to go shopping and to come back later in the evening for the night shift in NOC. Boy, that what I call an effort. :)
