I woke up at 6.45am, ugh. I don't have to get up this morning, but it must be force of habit to wake up around now.

I went back to sleep again, until I got a phone call at 9am. It was the senior DBA, calling me about going to work tomorrow, and confirming that I didn't go to work today, and that he'll cancel the room booked in the pub.

I lay in bed for a bit, and then found that the tv's remote control wouldn't work, so I couldn't be lazy, and watch tv, since I'd have to get up to turn it on first.

I got up, bummed around on the computer for a while, and then went and had a shave, and a shower.

When I got out of the shower, my phone rang, there was a message from the contract DBA at work. He'd tried to call me, apparently there was a problem with the website.

I tried to bring the website up, it was broken, I looked at the source of the page, and saw the mysql error I keep seeing. I called the contract DBA, to talk him through restarting mysql (it's not that hard, but it's not something he's had to do before).

We had a quick chat, and I told him I was calling to help him fix the website up, he told me he needed a coffee first, so he'd call me back in a minute.

I finished getting dressed, and then I started getting my stuff organised to go and do my tax return for last year, it's only about 9 months late.

The contract DBA called me back, and I went through how to restart mysql, and unblock the hosts, or whatever I hed to do, and then I got off the phone.

Mum took off out of the garage, going somewhere.

I finished getting all the tax stuff together, put my bike gear on, jacket etc, and I took a backpack.

I rode to ITP, went in to find out about getting my tax done, and the woman was able to do it immediately, that was sweet.

I went in, filled out the form, the woman said I'd probably get a refund of around $3300, since I didn't work all of last year, and when I did work, I paid a lot of tax.

I chatted to her for a while, and then left, rode out to Erina Fair. I went into Lowes, and tried on a couple of suits, found one that looked ok, it was $200 down to $80 or something (or so they claimed).

I had no idea about getting a shirt, a woman working in there did that for me, and then I paid, $80 for the suit, and $30 for the shirt, and left.

I went around and got some lunch, and then on my way back to my bike, I saw a guy from the hairdresser, I just gave him a nod.

I got back to my bike, shoved the suit into my backpack, and then I jumped on my bike, and rode home. I sat and blogged for a while, and listened to music.

Blogger was stuffed up again, with "internal server error" crap again.

I was going through my email after that, and I found a renewal notice for tcpip.net.au, from the 11th. The address on it, 55 Clarence St, looked strangely familiar. It dawned on me, that's the PowerTel building at Wynyard, where I worked for Qi in 2001.

The internet connection was dead slow, I noticed the 10Base2 segment was flashing away, I'll bet it's dad's laptop saturating the connection as usual. I would put some QoS on here, but I'd need some S first.

Dunno what I did for the rest of the day, would have packed my bag for work, eaten something for dinner (maybe), and watched some tv, before going to bed.

Oh, it's Melissa's birthday today.
