Returned to the gym

Finally returned to the gym, although not a long or intense session, at least I have returned.

Disappointed me

Thought this would be a big deal but its not been any different and I am disappointed that I have had so few messages from friends and family. Its clear that when I am gone no one will be bothered and I won't be remembered.

Big day, well not really

Turning 50 was uneventful, no upgrade on the flight but then I didn't ask directly either. Did sit with a couple of women that actually knew Craig. Took the Skybus, because I could be bothered with the endless changes to take public transport. Went in to Joy to work on World Wide Wave, so at least there was one thing I enjoyed on my birthday.

Noosa

Went on a drive with Sox and Doug to Noosa, including lunch and a walk along the beach, drove back in between hail storms and rainbows.

Day of highs and lows

The day started off well enough, even a shower or two didn't really matter much. But hit by diarrhea in the afternoon almost convinced me to not attend the dinner, but glad I did as it was fun, even if I didn't get to see the river fire (although I could certainly hear it)

Friday rush

So glad I left early from work, the journey to the airport was very slow. All fine at the airport and flight was smooth. Was worried I'd miss the train but caught with 5 minutes to spare.

Already packed

Travelling this weekend and already packed, although will no doubt change my mind about what I am taking before I leave.

First birthday dinner

Had dinner with a couple of friends from work and they treated me. Went to Mrs Parmas and had a big one.

News from Instagram

One of the guys I follow on Instagram is coming to Australia, James Llewellin will be here in November and December.

Technology frustrations

Due to technology, I had to duplicate some work to avoid losing it again.

Interesting meeting

I had a meeting with my manager who thinks I would be grade 6 material. Don't feel all that senior at the moment, taking my instruction from a grade 3 who would become one of the staff I would supervise.

Dinner and a show

Dinner with best mate and after a spot of shopping, back to his place for some Hinge and Bracket.

Radio lingo

Still work to do on my mic technique, I think its because I can't see it.

Dual band torment

Bought a new modem router and almost gave up on trying to set it up. Hours of concentration and frustration, only to realise I was using the wrong password! It literary gave me a headache.

Indoors

Spent most of the day inside the apartment, first part was voluntary but later had to because of IBS.

Hair scaped

Hair cut very short

Busy day

Busy with new and old job.

Cup and slide

Had a remedial massage to help with my neck and back. Had my first session of cupping and its left it mark (all over my back).

Meetings QA

Attended the second in a series of three meetings to go over the quality of the teams work, still too early to contribute much, but feel that I should e playing a bigger role in the meeting. I slipped up yesterday when I forget to send an email to a group of people.

Dinner with Campbell

Spent the evening with my best friend Campbell and talked, ate and shopped.

Routine

Wish I could find a way to motivate myself to add visits to the gym into my routine.

Deeper hole

Went to see what's happening with my new apartment and the hole has got deeper. 

Birthday lunch but not mine

Image
I enjoyed Brian's birthday lunch. Good company and good food. I even got to have some birthday cake. 

Rescued from loneliness

Been feeling lonely this evening and looking online at what other people are up hasn't helped. Going to lunch tomorrow but Sunday will be unusually quiet with none of the lads around for brunch.

Quiet day

Work today was strangely quiet, maybe it was the rail strike, but there were far fewer calls than we've had over the last few days.

Still leaking

Even after a whole day I'm still oozing stuff, finally feeling more comfortable this evening.

Standing Again

Would love to meet the committee that decided to remove seats from Metro trains, some how I doubt they travel on them!

Instagram

Never started it to gather followers, but if I want to keep the ones I have they probably want to see more posts from me.

Need to have a routine

Suffering again this evening and had to postpone dinner with Adam. Need to take the specialist advice and get into a habit, it worked before and should again.
