I woke up about 6.50am.
I asked the senior DBA if he recalled 3am, and he told me he had no recollection of it.
I told him that I was woken up by the sound of water, and then he worked out what I was talking about.
I went and had a shower, and got ready, and then went to work.
I worked all morning, and then I went out for lunch, with the senior DBA, and the guy from royalty, we went to a cafe down the road, near the shopping centre.
While we were waiting for our food, after ordering, the senior DBA realised he needed money, so he went to get some cash out. It was after he walked away that I realised I'd got money out to give him for the accomodation.
While we were waiting for him to come back, we saw the old librarian, so we spoke to him for a bit.
The senior DBA came back, and then we ate our lunch.
When we finished, we were just sitting chatting, and the cops drove through the mall, no reason for it, probably just because they're too lazy to drive around.
I had to go to the post office to pay my American Express bill, the guy from royalty and the senior DBA said they'd be in the auto place down the road.
I went into the post office, and paid the bill, didn't even think to ask if my mail was in there, and then I left, and I went down to the auto place, and found the others.
We wandered around in there, looking at all the stuff, thinking some of it would be handy, but then the senior DBA pointed out the fact that he doesn't drive anywhere except on the weekend, and I commented on the fact that I don't even have a license now.
The guy from royalty got what he was in there for, car seat covers or something, and then we headed back to work.
On the way back to work, the guy from royalty noticed a tag in with the car seat covers, which we found funny, because it said "inspected by Jenny", and we call the annoying support guy at work Jenny.
We got back to work, and after a little while, the sysadmin called me, and asked if I could go and give him a hand to move some stuff (because it had all been left behind, on his old desk, when the rest of IT moved, because he wasn't there).
I went up, and found a trolley, and helped him move some stuff off his desk, his PC etc.
After we'd moved all the small stuff, I went back to work, because we wanted to move some cupboards, and we weren't supposed to move them until after hours.
I went back to my desk, and kept working.
At about 4.30pm, I went back up. The senior DBA left, and I helped the sysadmin move the cupboards around to his new desk, because they were filled with backup tapes, and Sun software etc.
When we'd finished, I left, and walked down to the pub near work, the old librarian and the senior DBA were there, I sat and chatted for a while.
The guy from royalty turned up, and a little while later the chick from work and her boyfriend turned up.
We sat and chatted for a while, eventually we decided to go and get some dinner, so we all walked to the pub near the station.
I stopped in at the pub we're staying at on the way, and I dropped off my glasses, and grabbed my jumper, since it was a bit cold.
When I came out of the room, I bumped into the sysadmin, he'd left work a few minutes before, and was just checking into the pub.
I waited for a few minutes, while he dropped all his stuff off, and then we walked down to the pub where the others had gone, to get dinner.
We got down there, looked around, and found the others all sitting in the beer garden. The chick from work and her boyfriend had gone home or something, but were coming back, so we sat and waited for them to come back.
Once they came back, we all went in and ordered our dinner.
While I was sitting waiting for my dinner to be served, my phone started ringing, it was my mate's brother in law, calling from Bundaberg about the computer. Oh crap. I totally forgot about him, I didn't get the details I needed.
I answered the phone, explained that I'd been slack, and forgotten, and that I would ring him tomorrow night, and we'd get it sorted out. After I got off the phone, I set my alarm for 7pm tomorrow, so I'd remember to call him.
We sat and waited a bit more, and then our food was served, so we ate, and chatted.
After dinner, some hideous music was blasting out of one of the rooms in the pub, they have people that live in there.
It was some bikey guy (I've seen a fair few Gladiators in there, I think they have something to do with the ownership of the place).
We sat and put up with that for a while, then the chick from work and her boyfriend left. We sat and chatted for a while, putting up with the crap music, and then we decided to go to another pub.
When we left there, to go to the other pub, the sysadmin decided to go back to the pub where we were staying, so he left.
We got to the other pub, and had a couple of games of pool, and then the guy from royalty left, and it was just the senior DBA and I.
We had a few more drinks, and then we walked back to the pub we were staying at, and went to bed.
