What an all over the place weekend, more leaning to the really shite side thou.
I didn’t get anything I really wanted to get done this weekend due to the world working against me. I wanted to get some client work done that I have been meaning to do and I think the thought was then dismissed by murphyh’s law. It all started on Friday night when Dad rang me up to tell me he forgot to put Alan’s (Photobat Photography) photos in to be framed for the Tasmanian Photography comps. So I was asked if I could pick them up on Sat morning about 10am from the framer who came in especially to do the job on the weekend. So Sat morning came and at 9:45 I was still in bed with my slight hangover from Brett’s birthday party. Dad rings to see where I am (he is in Scamanda) and to get a move on. So I dragged my sorry arse out of bed and into town feeling like shite. I turn up and the framer had not finished yet, so I waited for an hour (I could have used that for sleep) and got the photo’s. I talk to my brother and he tells me that they need to be delievered to the Albert Hall at 10am Sunday (he is in Melbourne). F-ing great, I can’t sleep in again. What’s more, he informs me Sat night that I need to pick up two more photo’s from my parent’s place. This meant an even earlier start… ARRRRR. So Sunday morning I get up at 9am have a shower and toddle off to the Albert Hall via my parent’s place. While driving to my parent’s house the car starts to act funny, then promptly stalls just at the top of the Southern outlet. F-ing great x 2… so I manage to get it started again and get to my parent’s house driving at a very slow 60km/h with the car theating to die at any second. So I ditch my car at my parent’s, get Alans photo’s and deliever them to the competition.
That was my mornings… my afternoons where a bundle of joy too.
Friday, Jon from Smokey Joes rings up and tell me that he has a virus on his computer and can’t get rid of it. So being the stupid sap I am I agree to go look at it. I try for an hour to fix the problem, but to no avail. By this time I am really stressed, I needed to get to Cafe Elaia to give them an agreement and the post office and 100 other things before 5:30. I tell Jon that I can’t fix it and have to go and I will look at it Saturday. Sat afternoon Sooki and I go up to his house to try fix it… after 2 hours, I was completely and total stumped. I told Jon I had 2 options at this point, 1 to take the computer and try running a virus checker thought it on a different machine (mine), or 2 format the bloody thing and start again (we only just did this 2 weeks ago). We went for option 1. So Sunday afternoon, I pull apart the two computers, and find out what is wrong with it. Then remove the viruses by hand and all is back to normal, except I haven’t got any of my work done!
So I have a prepaided tab at Smokey Joes for a while and a shite load of work to do.
Not all is bad though:
1.
All appluad now please…. Wireless Tasmania is about to be federally sponsered (hehe).
2. Ben & Lindsey have had their baby. Max Frederick Jordan, Congrats guys.
3. Went shopping with Sooki and she brought me a Luc Besson DVD collection.
4. Had lunch with Oli & Pete.
5. Informed my car is already fixed (yipee) and it was as bad as it seemed.
6. Watched Volcano High and Runaway Jury and like both of them
So now I have to get my arse into gear and stop blogging.
