I woke up again about 9.30am (well, can't really call it waking up, I'd been half awake listening to the guy I was sharing the room with snore all night).

I got up, and I had a shower, and got dressed, I had a cup of tea in the hotel, and then I walked up the road with the email guy to work.

All the others jumped in the guy from upstair's car, and drove up to work, but the walk is only a couple of minutes, and I could do with the bit of fresh air and exercise anyway.

I got to work, and was able to get straight in to coding, picking up where I left off last night, before heading off down to the pub etc.

The DBA came to see me, and he said that I was looking rather healthy, a bit more so than the rest of the crew that had made their way to work.

He wanted to ask me something about the development instance of Oracle, because they wanted to do an update from production to development, but I told him that I wasn't using the development instance, so they could do what they liked in relation to the database the exists on their for my use.

I did a bit more work, and then I decided I needed some sugar, so I went across the road, and bought a bit of rocky road from the cafe. I came back to work, and was on my way to my desk when I bumped into the guy who had too much to drink last night, , he looked a bit worse for wear, after last night.

We just sort of nodded at each other, and kept going. I don't think he remembered (or wanted to) what had gone on last night. All I knew was, that I'd pulled a muscle in my arm grabbing him and stopping him from smashing his face into the brick wall.

I got back to my desk, worked a bit more, and then I went upstairs to see what was going on, in regards to lunch etc.

The chick had her farewell card there, and was going on at me to sign it. I was trying to think of something profound to write on it, some song lyrics or something, so I went back to my desk, and googled around a bit, while I tried to think of or find something cool to write on there, but I didn't come up with anything.

I went back upstairs, kept thinking about it.

We went for lunch, I went across the road to the cafe with a guy who was leaving today , and we picked up some salads, I couldn't stomach much more than that.

I wasn't feeling too bad today, compared to last Friday after going out drinking, because the difference this time, was that I'd stopped drinking before midnight last night (unlike drinking until 4am), and I'd spent the last 4 hours before I went to bed drinking water.

My guts were still a bit upset though, so I figured something light like a salad would be good.

We went back across the road, and I ate my lunch while I continued to try to think of something profound to write on the chick's card.

I gave up, I couldn't think of anything to write on there, so I just put the usual good luck etc stuff, that I'd been writing on the last few cards I've signed during the last few days, as a lot of people have left the department.

I chatted a bit more to them, and then I went back downstairs, and I cracked back into more work.

Most people left the office, I stayed until about 7pm, it ended up being just myself, and the woman who was finishing up today, whose dinner we'd gone to at Morpeth last night.

I said godbye to her, grabbed my stuff, and went down to the carpark, jumped on my bike.

I found that my card still did open the door, so the building manager was just being a smartass, and hadn't disabled my card's access to the car park.

I took off, and headed for home. I stopped in at the supermarket on the way home, to get some dinner.

While I was waiting in the checkout line, I felt like I was going to fall asleep on my feet.

I felt like I'd been up for three days, massively fatigued, I kept leaning, and then I notice, and pull myself back up straight, and try to stay awake.

I paid for my stuff, got on my bike, and came home.

I didn't do much when I got home, I ate dinner, listened to some music (no tv), and then I spent a little while working on the tivo image installation script I've written.

I fixed a bug that developed when the new cachecard drivers changed the parameter syntax, uploaded it into cvs on the development server, and then I went to bed, pretty early, 9pm or so.
