15th November 2002

I ache and I’m stiff. I’m also incredibly sexually frustrated. This morning I went for a blood test at Oldchurch Hospital. Ever since the entire right hand side of my body has ached a little. It is most irritating, but nothing serious I’m sure. It allowed me to miss two hours of work, for which I am most grateful. I almost have a smile on my face at the moment, which during work hours is very rare.

There are just under three hours left to the weekend which I’m sure is adding to my general sense of happiness. I’m quite looking forward to doing a serious bit of catching up with the pile of DVDs I have to watch. I still have a whole pile of Star Trek Season 4 episodes to watch, I’ve also started watching the first series of Red Dwarf and yesterday I bought the second series of Futurama. I guess I still have two episodes of South park to watch that I have downloaded and not properly watched yet. This could turn into a heavy TV watching experience this weekend. Alternatively it could be fun, I guess I’ll find out.

Last night I met up with Phillip, Noel and Bill, my old IHT buddies. We had a drink in the London pub and caught up on life. True it was less than four weeks since we were all in the London pub, but wow has the time flown since then! The trip there was rather bus orientated as I wanted to go to Oxford Street beforehand and most of the tubes were running very infrequently. The drivers were protesting about inadequate fire safety as the fire brigades are on strike. London is fun, oh yes.

Noel has just sent me the pictures he took from Phillips leaving party. Nothing too exciting in them, but it was nice to be reminded of all the people together having fun.

I miss Erin, it’s really difficult to describe the feeling of longing for her, but I know things won’t feel right until I’ve had a snuggle or two from her.

Today started off going quite quickly once I got to work, now every minute seems to be dragging on forever. I helped out a few customers this morning, installed a UPS, well eventually after making a bit of a hash of it (the server corner is rather treacherous) and downloaded everything outstanding I had intended to download. I decided not to go to lunch as I spent so much time out of the office this morning. This I fear is what is mucking up my sense of how fast the day should be going. Oh well it creeps along.

I guess that about wraps this up. Bye for now.
