The senior DBA got up long before I usually do, and went and got ready. I ended up lying in my bed until about 7.30am, and then went and had a shower and got ready.

I left the pub, and walked down to the bank, and got some money out, since I had none, and then I went to the cafe, and got a cup of coffee, and walked to work.

On the way, I saw the royalty manager's kids, on their way to the bus stop. I got to work, and sat at my desk and finished my coffee.

I started working, and then realised my arm was really itchy. When I looked, it looked like I'd broken out in hives. Hmm, somehow I think the guy at the cafe might have not given me a soy latte, and I'm having some sort of a reaction to the dairy milk in the latte.

I went upstairs, and I paid back the senior DBA the $50 I'd borrowed off him last night. While I was there, the support guy paid me back the $10 I'd lent him.

The external application, MinView, was broken again. I sat with the sysadmin and the senior DBA, and we got it back running again.

I went back to my desk, and got to work. At 10.30am, someone said that morning tea was ready. I went out, there had been a stuffup. and 2 groups had bought food, so there was stacks of junk food.

They saved some of it, to have tomorrow, and then we ate as much as we could. I went back to my desk, and kept working.

I had a brief chat with the project manager, arranged a meeting for later this afternoon, and then I went back to work.

A little while later, I got a call from the senior DBA, he told me there was a social club lunch on, which they'd forgotten to invite me to.

I went out, and across to the bbq area. I grabbed a beer, and waited for the social club guy to finish cooking the bunch of sausages that were on the bbq at the moment.

The sysadmin came out, and I chatted with him, all the others were over, outside the carpark, smoking, and then they went back inside the building.

I had lunch, and chatted with the sysadmin for quite a while, and then I went back inside with the sysadmin, and upstairs. There wasn't much going on up there, so I went back to my desk.

I sat and did some work, and then I went into the meeting. I was in there for about an hour, and then I went back to my desk.

The aircon guy was wandering around the building, commented on the fact that my desk was freezing, and would adjust it.

I started going through some email, there was a stack of tivo related mails, stuff about the swap partition creation in the installer script. I started replying, and then the guy in Melbourne told me that I was replying to old stuff he'd already sorted, and asked for my phone number.

I replied, told him my number at work, he called and told me all the stuff that he'd found, and what he'd fixed. Basically, I'd screwed up, and not put the correct syntax into the install script, so he'd fixed that.

I realised a couple of other bugs while we were talking, relating to the DMA/byteswapping stuff, and we got those sorted, in theory.

After that, I finished going through the email, and then I left the building for the day.

I walked to the pub, and dropped off my stuff, and then I walked to the other pub. The old librarian and the support guy were in there, I sat and had a drink with them, and then I played the pokies, and won $10.

I had another drink, and we sat in the front room of the pub, now that it was too cold outside.

There were a couple of cute chicks in playing the pokies.

I sent an SMS to the senior DBA, to find out where he was, he replied, and said he would be there shortly.

He came in a little while later, and had a drink.

I decided to go and play the pokies again, and I went to the machine next to the one the chicks were playing. I lost $10, and then I gave up, and went back to the table, and sat and chatted.

I would have got another drink, but I had no money left.

The social club guy turned up, and we sat and chatted to him for a while. We all decided to go to the pub near the station, so we waited a couple of minutes, while the social club guy dropped off his bag in his room, and then we walked to the pub.

We got some drinks, and then we went in to order dinner. There was a tiny little chick working behind the counter in the restaurant area of the pub, the senior DBA quietly commented to me that the little guy in royalty would probably think that she was terrific.

I ordered last, the others went outside after they'd ordered. The chick asked me where we were planning to sit, and I said we'd probably sit in the bar, or outside or something.

She told me that if we were going to sit in the bar, that she'd have to give us a number, because she's not allowed in there. I figured that she must have been under 18, and the cook chick from out the back would be bringing us our meals in the bar.

I went out the back, and sat with the others, and then we realised it was too cold out there, so after they finished smoking, we went back into the restaurant, and sat at a table in there.

They came and served us our food, I got the wrong meal, I'd ordered a chicken fillet thing, and they served me a ginormous schnitzel. I ate it anyway, it was just more food than I had been after.

We all finished eating, and chatted for a while, and then we went back into the bar area again.

There was some chick in there, playing the guitar, accompanied by some guy playing the bongos.

We had more drinks, and left the pub at 9 something pm.

We walked back to the pub, went to the room, I went to bed, and put on my ipod, and went to sleep.
