This just keeps getting better.

I had that drink last night, and then I couldn't stop. I finished the bottle of gin, and I started the bottle of vodka. I drank until after 4am.

I was thinking about not going to bed, since I wouldn't be able to sleep, I eventually decided to lie down, I immediately realised I had to spew. I was in spewing for several minutes.

I went back to bad, managed to get to sleep.

I woke up at 9.37am. Shit, I was supposed to be at the seniors club at 9.30. I found their phone number, called, apologised, let them know I would be there shortly, and I left.

I rode there, took me a minute to find it, went in.

I told them all what was going on, they gave me a cup of tea, that was nice, since I doubt I'll be able to eat anything.

I started working on the network, got things sorted out. I setup a router for them, got everything working, printer sharing.

During this, my mate who called me yesterday afternoon called me, and he told me that he'd been cutoff because he knew me, and therefore "is in cahoots with me", "that no one who is a friend of me can be connected, because they will give me access".

She also claimed that I was "continuously trying to crack in", and that I was "trying to crack in right now". Jesus, does the crazy woman think I have nothing better to do?

There has always been people trying to crack into all the servers, I told them that weeks ago, it's just that no one cared, and they weren't paying me to go securing all the servers. I didn't get around to putting in the quote to build a new server, that is the only way to deal with all these mail issues, and to secure the boxes. They are running Red Hat from 1996 for Christ's sake.

So of course, as usual, someone is trying to crack into something, and they're just blaming me for it.

It would be pretty clever for me to be cracking in while I'm busy crimping network cables and configuring pcs.

He said he had arranged the consulting work for me, it was all setup, and asked if the woman from the temping agency had contacted me, not yet. I spoke for a bit, and got off the phone.

The woman called me shortly after, told me how things work, and the forms she'll send me. She was very nice to talk to.

My mate called me back again after that, and I told him it was all sorted. It turns out the guy I was going to be working with is taking Friday off, so the work is on Monday instead. Fine, gives me a chance to contact the solicitor and try to get this sorted out.

A little while after that, while finishing setting up the network, I fetl a bit sick. I went into the loos, and I spewed a lot, it was all bile. I felt a bit better, I washed my face and went back.

Just when I was finished up, they said there was another office in the building that needed some networking done. We went in there, and I started speaking to the woman, she told me she was having issues with her ADSL connection. I spent a little while looking at it.

The other people wanted to leave, so I went and got all my gear, and they paid me.

I went back into the other office, worked out the problem with the ADSL, fixed it (someone had disabled the network card, and fiddled with some settings), and then had a quick chat with the woman in there. She took my contact details, and said she would probably be in contact. I didn't charge them, I only spent a short while on the problem, and I was already there.

I'm really upset about this nonsense with these false allegations now. It is defamation as far as I am concerned.

I came home. I tried calling the solicitor, I left messages, he has not called me back. I want to go in, sort this out, and then walk away. If they won't let me do that, then I will have to get a solictor, and sue them for defamation.
