An ambiguous title at best, but close to the truth. After a hectic 2 weeks and bullshit from the previous landlord, we are now free of our last house and settled into the last but one. I can only say that the next move will be a tad easier. The plan is to relocate all non essential items to new homes or file them in Bin 13 (The Tip).
The house we are in now is smaller than the last one, but has ample room for most of the items we really use on a daily basis. The only issue we have is the few items in the garage which have dubious rights to being kept. It is Easter time and all is well apart from a nasty little cold/flu virus which has my days feeling a little rough. I have managed to mow the front lawn and the back lawn which has very good quality grass, something I intend on maintaining before we have to move out again, possibly in the next four months or so. I have also managed to find a little quiet time and not do any work related items. My work laptop has remained in its case and my freshly formatted HP Personal Laptop has no links to work setup.
Speaking of freshly formatted. After running Windows 7 on this machine and then going back to Vista, I have noticed some big differences. The time it takes to start up, open files and other everyday items, seem to take so much longer. I have fixed one annoying item which caused my screen to ‘ draw’ windows whilst moving them, the latest drivers from nvidia resolved that little issue. So why am I using the PC and not the Mac? Simple, I haven’t set that up yet, nor do I have a space suitable as yet to run it from.
So far my days have consisted with washing, thankfully the weather has been kind of decent and has allowed me to wash and walk to the line. My last couple of loads should have me setup for the week. Ahh another short week and less stressful traffic on the way to work- hopefully! Last week was chaos and the week before that. Changes at work include a refit in the office and other such distractions. I am amazed at the level of compitence of some of the builders. I recall an old addage ‘measure twice and cut once’ it seems that a certain builder didn’t adhere to this rule and ended up cutting my desk to fit into a wall – recently built so that it would fit into this nice neat little cubby hole. The wall that encases my desk is in the shape of a letter U – except that the physical size of my desk was not taken into consideration. Some cocky builder/joiner/butcher decided to take a very sharp Chisel and remove the edges so that my desk would fit. Rather than fix the cockup he had made, he buggered up a perfectly good and new desk. The words Wanker and Useless spring to mind.
Enough of work, it all starts again tomorrow, today I intend to at least pick up a golf club and smack a few white balls somewhere, anywhere. My plan to have two games this weekend was thwarted by lack of able bodies to join in the fun. So If nothing else a visit to the driving range and blow some of these cobwebs off, even if it kills me. On the subject of golf, the Chef at the Firefly restaraunt in Georges River golf course is moving on, bugger. Just hope they get someone as good in his place. Good luck Damien and hope it all works out.
