I woke up, heard the senior DBA in the shower for ages, he came out, said he'd see me at work later.

I got up, went and had a shower. The new shower head I put on was crap.

I got ready, head breakfast, and I walked to work. I worked for a while, and then filled out my timesheets, and got the geophysicist guy to sign them, since my manager and the indexer's project manager was away.

I faxed them through, and then I called up the temping agency, and asked them to send through an invoice for my pay for the year.

I got a call from the front desk, some packages had turned up for me, I went and collected them, opened them, and went through them all.

It was the stuff from NetBro, damn, that was quick.

I didn't bother opening up the WRT54G, I knew what to expect there, I opened up the NSLU2, it was a lot smaller than I was expecting, looks cool though.

I looked at the hard disk caddy, it wasn't very exciting, considering it's just a box with a hard drive in it.

I did some more work, and then I got an email from the woman at the temping agency.

She needed my most recent timesheets, and I told her that they went through at 10am. She went off to try to find them, and found them. That should have been all sorted.

I went upstairs about 12.30pm, and asked the email support guy about getting a lift home this afternoon, and then I went to lunch.

I walked down street, with a few guys from work, we got pies, and ate, and then walked back to work.

I sat at my desk, and I mucked around with hard disk caddy a bit. I opened it, and put the drive in properly, because the guy hadn't mounted the disk inside, it was bouncing around a bit.

In the process of taking the case apart, I dropped one of the screws, which disappeared under the desk, taking me a few minutes to find.

I finished mucking around, and put it back together.

I went back to work, and then the woman chasing me for my invoice, so that they could pay me properly came around about the invoice that the temping agency had sent in, there was something not right about it or something. I couldn't help her with it.

I got a call from delivery guys, they told me they were waiting at the house, and there was no one there.

Crap. I told them I'd be there shortly, and then I pissbolted back to the house, having an asthma attack on the way, and felt like I nearly died.

The delivery guy asked how old I was, and then said I was unfit. Oh duh mate.

I opened the door for them, and they moved the bed in, then I signed for it, and they left.

I sat down for a minute, and I used the nebuliser, because my asthma was so stuffed up. I had a drink, and waited a minute, then I moved the bed upstairs.

I didn't put it together, I just dumped all the bits in the room.

I grabbed the serial adapter I'd meant to take this morning, and then I locked up, and walked back towards work.

I went in to the supermarket, and bought some soap, because I've got none left at home, and I got some bread and a scone from the bakery.

I walked back to work, and I bumped into the royalty manager's kids on the way, and chatted to them.

I got back to work, sat down, still puffed from running back to the house, and then I worked a bit more.

I went upstairs for a while, and spoke to the sysadmin.

As the senior DBA was leaving, I bumped into the woman chasing me about my invoice, she was now trying to get my invoice signed off, but there was no one around who was authorised to do it.

The email support guy came around to my desk at 4.30pm, so I packed up laptop, grabbed my bags, and the bread, and went and got in the car. We left work, and went to the service station just down the road.

There was a power blip, and all the service station bowsers and the traffic lights reset. That was pretty weird.

The email support guy got fuel, and then we got on freeway, and I got dropped at home, I said I might need a lift to work on Monday, and we sorted that out.

I grabbed all my stuff, and I came inside. I sat down, watched some tv, and ate some bread.

I setup the second AP, but I couldn't get bridge mode working on it.

I eventually found that I needed to be running OpenWRT on both APs, so I put it on the new one, and then I managed to get the bridge setup, and I installed some packages on the AP.

I grabbed the NSLU2, and I installed unslung on it, and installed some packages for it, and then I went to bed, at about 2am.
