Well tonight I'm finally going to observe/operate the new GA/Ea system (GA/EA - general or emergency assistance out of hours). Hasmuhk's doing it tonight so at least I'll be learning from someone who knows what he's doing. I'll get to see if the new system as all it's cracked up to be or just another piece of software written by someone who doesn't fully understand the job that it's designed to do (this is the more usual situation - but only because the writers never actually come and observe how the actual job is done in practice as apposed to how the work procedure is described. being done)
Buzz Session 21:31 - 22:33
I honestly can't remember a lot of what we talked about during this buzz session, in part because I've still got this cold, feel pretty shitty and my head was pounding. The other reason being because I was explaining to Hasmkh what I'd done to update his phone firmware. I think we have agreed to go out on May 8 but I'll have to check that. I want to go to the comedy club again, that was the best night out I've had in years but I suspect that we won't so I probably won't go, rephrase, I probably won't be able to AFFORD to go!
Thank Yous - it's that time again, where you have to write nice things about your team mates and enter them into a draw. I hate doing these, almost as much as I hate getting them, they seem so forced, even if they're not. I guess I'm just easily embarrassed by somethings.
Surprise Surprise Amit's Here.
What a nice surprise, the only time I ever get to tell really disgusting jokes is when Amit shows up, we seem to spark off one another (electrician in-joke for those 'in the know'). Welcome back "Stumpy of Devon" you have been sorely missed.
Anyway, GA/EA went fine, the systems a bit fiddly (for the reasons suggested earlier) but is generally workable and with practice will prove to be faster to use that the system it replaced - which is all you can really ask for - so no problems for now.
Fin 07:30 home for 08:00, intended to stay up, what with last night being the last of our 4 days but ended up giving in to tiredness at approx 11;30 and decided to pop to bed for a couple of hours. Awoke 19:45 - Feckit that's another day wasted!
Deb and the kids were at Judo until 21:00, when they returned Han to bed and Nat stayed down until 22:00.
After Deb went to bed I watched Question Time and This Week then came and played here.

Fritzl sentenced to life
I think the Son of a Bitch got off lightly. Personally, I'd have stuck him in that cellar and let his Daughter, and the children he fathered by her, look after him. See how he likes it when the boot is on the other foot. With a little bit of thought I'm sure they would come up with ways to ensure he suffered as they did. Sometimes, justice isn't enough, occasionally only vengeance will do!

Helmets may not look very fashionable but as this very sad story unfortunately illustrates there are some very good reasons for why you should wear one!
