Everyone needs some time alone, and its better if you wear socks.
Let me explain in a round-a-bout kind of way.
Last weekend was really, really busy for me. I got up relatively early and pumped a bit of iron. This is starting to get more addictive for me, just like it used to be. I always seem to come out the other end feeling better.
Headed up the coast and did some more work cutting and laying tiles. I had a super helper and had a lot of fun that day; the happiest I'd been for quite some time. I ended up with some blisters though which I guess is a consequence of the job. I stayed in town for the night and crashed early. The next day I went back and did some more work before heading off. Getting home about midday I then set to work shifting more dirt into the back yard. I have pretty much finished that now, and hope to start on the retaining walls soon, and some paving. Thats a shitload of work to do, but I think I am more than halfway done overall.
That was the weekend done with.
The next day (last Monday) I travelled up to Rockhampton to sit my Microsoft 70-296 exam. I was really just doing reconnaissance work and expected to fail. Microsoft have a 2-for-1 thing happening at the moment and I thought I'd take advantage of it. I passed though, which really did surprise me. And saved me a few weeks extra study. That makes me a Windows Server 2003 MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer). yay. another lowercase yay.
Tuesday morning I flew up to Townsville to do a few days worth of Metaframe consulting. I had to bump a week's worth of work for another client to manage it, but the priority was fairly high. I was still pissed though. Everything went well, fires put out, Earth did not spiral into the sun. Very long days... three and a half days onsite but 40 billable hours to do. Flew home Saturday morning on three flights again (they feed you after each connection... blergh).
Spent all of that Saturday getting ready to begin the retaining wall, then spent today tiling the other house again. I thought the job looked good though!
I am totally Fucked right now... with a capital F even.
I had a shower, got into my pyjamas, and put some socks on. The floor feels cold.
