I got up, at 8am, and went and had a shower.

I was feeling a bit seedy, probably not surprising, considering the amount of alcohol I consumed last night.

I made some toast, after finding the toaster, in the cupboard.

We went to work, I went to my desk, and I continued extracting the mp3s from my ipod.

I then had to go into a meeting for 2 hours, about the last place I wanted to be while feeling hungover.

When I got back, I sent an email to the guy upstairs, and asked if he wanted to go for lunch, but I didn't get a reply.

It was freezing cold in the office, and I was getting a headache it was so cold (I just had a queasy stomach before).

Normally I would have just put my jacket on, which I've done before when it's been freezing, but I couldn't do that now, because my jacket was at home.

I decided to go and buy one, while I was out at lunch.

I went out of the building, and walked down to the shopping centre. I went into Kmart, looked through the blokes clothing, found a jumper that looked ok, and just as I was about to buy it, I spotted another one that looked better, and was cheaper.

I grabbed that, and went down to the checkout. When it was rungup by the checkout chick, it came up even cheaper, they had a sale at the moment.

I paid, left, on my way out of the shopping centre, I went to the bakery, and bought a couple of pies.

I went and sat in the mall, under a tree, and ate my pies.

I decided to go to the music shop on my way back to work, and see if I could get an acoustic bass guitar.

I got to the music shop, and found that it was closed, great.

I went back to work, and mucked around with the database content.

I started a new module in the code, to generate the files we need to send with paperwork to the scanning bureau, files that describe the format/page size etc of all the papers to be scanned.

I was working away on that when my phone rang. I answered it, it was my mate I went away on holidays with.

As soon as I answered the phone, I could tell there was something wrong. I said hello, and then there was just silence for a second, and I could feel tension coming through the phone, it was weird.

My mate started talking, and he told me that his wife had been having an affair, and had left him.

We spoke for a little while, I told him I was sorry I couldn't be there, since I was stuck at work with no way to get there.

He told me that he was going to see some of other mates, and we'd catch up on the weekend.

I got off the phone, and I felt really upset. The other people in the office could tell something was up, because they came and asked me what was going on.

I sat there for a little while, and I was so busy thinking about the whole thing, and trying to think of any clues as to this while we'd been away on holidays.

There was no way I could get my brain back around coding, so I didn't even bother trying.

I picked up my stuff, and I left work, it was after 5pm anyway.

I walked to the pub I was staying at, and dropped off my stuff in the room (ipod/glasses) and took some panadol.

I went down into the bar, and the others were there.

I went and got some money out of the ATM to give to the guy upstairs, to pay my half of the room rent for the week, and then got a drink, and forgot to give the money to him.

I told them what had gone on, and we chatted for a while.

It started raining, fairly heavily. When it let up, we headed down to another pub to get dinner.

We got down there, and played pool, and when we finished our game, we ordered dinner.

We loaded up the jukebox with money, and queued up a stack of songs, and waited for dinner.

Dinner was served, and we ate it, while listening to the music from the jukebox.

After dinner, we put more songs on, and played a few games of pool, and drank more.

We left the pub, and walked back to the pub we were staying in, and ended up sitting out on the balcony chatting for a while, and then went to bed.

I couldn't get any sleep, just tossing and turning for ages, I gave up in the end, and grabbed my ipod, and queued up all the Rush songs, and listened to them between 2.30am and 4am, when I finally managed to get to sleep.
