Saturdays
12 hours of complete bordom well not quite I did find things to do, keeping an eye on all the sites, moving the cameras, making note of where the mobile patrol was keeping things up today in various places, photocopying stuff , drinking tea I needed it just a bit...
It was a fun enough day got it over and done with.
I then get home, put something on to eat, attempt to eat it and fail - darn I hate it when I feel hungry yet don't feel like eating what I've cooked dispite the fact it was lovely BBQ pork ribs :) I had half of them - not bad really...
Then I though I just have a few drinks while I catch up on stuff and play with my new clan members in Joint Operations - it's a great game mainly an online game but you can play it over a Lan - it's a must to have more than just you otherwise you tend to die a lot and I mean a LOT..
http://www.762sq.com/ < my Clan website :) they are good - also while not gaming I have my computer crunch numbers for my other clan / team as it were
http://www.free-dc.org/ < my Distributed Computing (DC) team :) I do the D2oL project - look up the forums and you'll see what I mean..

Fridays...
I had an early start today after finishing late last night not a good combo...
Oh well let see what today brings..
What did it bring:
I did manage to get down to the site I was on, on wednesday and I ended up swapping back the router i had swapped out on wednesday so we could get connected to the remote site again. I need to find the manual and print out parts of it here at home so I can study it, looks simple but then again when is anything "simple"
I then went to the bosses house because he said he was having a problem with his broadband connection..
Thank god I updated a page on my site so it has links to adaware, spybot SnD and a geek website forum How to guide on removing spyware etc.
I got spybot & adaware, attempted to get rid of a "popup type" stopper - the uninstall had to be downloaded from it's website (not a good start) + bosses doesn't rememeber installing it.. I got adaware installed and updated, ran it, attempted to run spybot SnD at the same time to protect the system it Crashed out - a good indicator I was gonna hit problems
I did Adaware found 370 Critical level objects - I stopped it at this cleaned them up and the restarted it as it was getting late and I needed to get back to the office to pick up my car and go home.. I e-mailed the boss a step by step guide on how to get firefox browser - how to install the adblock for it and how to import the filter txt file i had sent. Also said any problems call me, he was last seen heading into cyberspace with a baseball bat to go swipe at things..

What a waste of a day...
*yawn*... Well i thought I was going to be going and finishing off what I'd started yesterday as I hadn't had enough time to complete what I needed to do, routers are not simple things... I know the manual for the router I'm using exists and it's looks a good one but I wasn't going to print out all 148 pages of it - adobe pdf's are good when you got adobe installed on the machine, the machine doesn't have internet access so no way of getting it on. I then found it on the laptop I'd been using to access the router on the place I was at yesterday.. darn it oh well that's how I know how many pages it is..
Well I didn't get anywhere today as I really feel for my boss on days like this,
one of the drivers we have managed to put the one of our vans into a lamppost (real cleaver) he's fine but van has huge dent in it, we did have 3 vans at HQ now we have one, I think I said why the other wasn't there (see previous posts) now we are down to the one, darn it.
Best thing of it was the van this particular bunch of drivers drive had been swapped over and was up here to get fixed and it never got swapped back and the van they dented was in fact one for up here so the alarm fitter would always have a van kitted out how he needed it..
Back to square one.. hmm yawn and to top it off I'm working early tomorrow and working on saturday too (all day!)

Brain = Frazzled...
who ever said routers are easy to configure was lying.. do you think I could get something to work from behind the router firewall - no... darn it fecking thing :|
changed router and instantly got what I had been looking for... only thing is didn't reconfigure it to allow me into the network from the outside - and I think i got to figure out if I can multi-ip the thing i think i can but can't find the freaking manual for it... oh well time to read and read and read google pages.....

Personality Quiz
Results:
Wackiness: 52/100
Rationality: 56/100
Constructiveness: 76/100
Leadership: 50/100
You are a SRCF--Sober Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you a White House staffer.
You are a tremendous asset to any employer, cool under pressure, productive, and a great communicator. You feel the need to right wrongs, take up slack, mediate disputes and keep the peace. This comes from a secret fear that business can't go on without you--or worse, that it can.
If you have a weakness, it is your inability to say "no." While your peers respect you, they find it difficult to resist taking advantage of your positive attitude and eagerness to take on work. You depend on a good manager to keep you from sinking under the weight and burning out.
Of the 85140 people who have taken this quiz since tracking began (8/17/2004), 7.7 % are this type.
Nice Eh

It was snow joke today
I said to the garage i bought if from that this was happening on saturday, guy who sold it to me, very nice guy btw, told me to try the spare key in the lock.
Hmm tried that this morning, No Joy or rather joy after a while (or i got lucky).
Got into car, started it up, turned on the rear heater and the internal heater (set to full heat, on the windscreen and full blast with the fan..), i then set about clearing the snow off the car using my little windscreen clearer I have
hmm snow deeper than the depth of the clearer (it's a mini window squeegy type thing). hands got cold but i cleared it quick enough only took me 10 minutes to clear it off, clean it off the lights clear it off the sides of the car, the boot, the bonnet (as i didn't want snow to fly up off the bonnet on to the windscreen that is SO annoying). I made it to work just in time to start (well just about I was later in that I normally im but still early - so made my normal cup of tea to warm up and got talking to the boss for 5 minutes, go into the bit i work in and got asked "what time do ya call this" I went ophs erm "10 o'clock :P" turns out my colleague who's meant to start at 7am didn't get in till 8 due to traffic he though the road he took would be clear - it was just not some of the roads / bridges it leads to, basically knock on effect in action - I went my normal route and had no problem apart from having go slower than normal.
Oh what fun, it's mainly gone now but they say it's gonna be -2C overnight (ack! ice anyone - not me thanks)

Mission Aborted - Gone for a spliff
(Nope just gone to the dentist actually)
Darn it, all set to go to pictures to see national treasure with my mate and she sends me a text message late last night saying she can't, which I don't mind at all..
Turns out she forgot she had a dental appointment - a minor one she hoped but it might be major and didn't want to go as she would be in pain once the anastetic wore off.. I go okay "think on spot at work"
!!IDEA!! Invite self over - take a few DVD's and make like a night at the movies kinda thing but maybe with some wine.. No go, turns out she sometimes she'll get a migrane after dental work and all she wants to do is hide under the duvet away from the light - good idea.. Oh well another time I guess eh..

Families who'd have 'em
I still live with my parents (hey it's cheaper than trying to attempt to afford a place of my own) and have to put up with them midering on about stuff without actually doing anything about it (normally when drunk)
which brings me neatly to the point.. stubborn as a mule are my parents so am i in a way as are my 2 sisters..
I'm pig in the middle of it all even if i don't wanna i hear both sides of the story even if i don't wanna... I get info when I'm just literally in the door (i mean Im just in the door, my coat is just off and my backpack from work has just been put down and I get what's happened that day in the face)
well when I go see my nephew (since I'm allowed to see him and my parents ain't - they let me go cos they wanna know what's going on basically)
I get the other side and I know it's like hitting my head of a brick wall getting my sister to talk to our mother (hmm she took a year to speak the last time and that was over something far less serious - so if anyone is holding their breath you'll expire 1st)
Thank god I can hide neatly in the attic, beside my pc's where mother won't go as she had a nasty fright (and so did I) when the last ladder collapsed on her (oh and she's also put her foot through the plasterboard when she was up once..
I got the fright cos I was holding it and it slipped - hmm 2 - 3 inch shelf (okay it was chipboard but still strong) snapped in 2 when it happened, mother was painting around the hatch to the attic at the time.. hmm I was about 10 at the time so a long time ago..
If i think of anything else I'll add it..
or maybe I'll just move my diary to somewhere nicer lol - I wanna doddle board lol
