    Default My Birthday Today

    Just thought I'd share a few reflections on my 51st birthday today that I planned to have the day off and do a few personal things ......

    00:01 - still logged on remotely into work since 19:00 - a few issues needing urgent attention
    00:30 - still logged on but fell asleep on the lounge
    03:00 - remote system died screen all frozen
    06:00 - remote system still dead and screen still frozen, major train delays, issues now urgent with multiple failures but my counterpart can't get to work nor log in remotely
    07:00 - breakfast and cards containing $350 worth of Carbatec vouchers
    08:00 - several phone calls from work, things are looking worse than first imagined
    09:00 - annual doctors check-up to keep blood pressure intact
    10:00 - bucket list item - get my HR learners and book my first lesson
    11:00 - back to doctors but this time for 19month grand-daughter
    11:30 - off to Carbatec
    12:30 - standing in Carbatec amoungst all the jointers, thicknessers, etc and the phone rings ...
    13:30 - I'm in the office talking to the team and Project Managers about issues but did get to show-off cute GD
    16:30 - at the post office, parcel was for wife not my eagerly awaited blade order
    17:00 - back home and logged into work
    19:00 - dinner with family at local pub
    20:30 - still logged into work and will be here all weekend ....

    Maybe next year I can relax and enjoy some quiet time on my birthday or even out in the shed .....

    cheers all

    Wouldn't it have been a good time to have ISP problems, you know, the ones that last all day? Oh, and the phone just happened to drop out of your pocket into the loo as well.

    Oh well, Happy Birthday!
