Recap

By Ers   August 18, 2012 // No comments
... of the week. As always we are very busy. There are so many things to be done, things that we want to do but there is not enough time during the day and night. Still life is good not to be enjoyed and cherished. I have been devouring new books like hot potatoes when I am not occupied of something else. On the work front, it has been a bit quiet. We've gone river bank fishing for the first time and it was exciting. I have not managed to catch anything at all but I must say I did not fish for long. Between Jens and I, Mcj has barely enough time to get a drink let alone bait and cast his line. Did a bit of retail therapy this weekend. My favourite past time, I'd say. It has been good as always. Despite our hectic routine, I can't complain. There are things that might bother us (not as much as discontinued appliance parts) but everything sorts itself out. So yeah, let's all have a wonderful weekend!

That Desk

By Ers   August 03, 2012 // No comments
I have been wanting to replace my existing desk for quite sometime now. Been searching high and low for desk that will fit the space and something that will give me enough area to work and a bit of storage as well. To no luck. Then I found this. Yes, not plenty of storage area but will do the space where I want it. Question is, will it stand perfectly on carpet floor. I have furniture that has to be relegated outside as it can't stand stably on the carpet. I guess, I'll just have to visit the shop and run it through rfid to know, right?

Working

By Ers   August 03, 2012 // No comments
at home on Friday night. I'm not complaining. I am at home and warm and full. Not pressing for time to finish in a flash either. Backing up the data takes some time as it's quite big so blog away on incredibrace while waiting for it to finish. Then a series of checks and test and viola. Telly on the background with the London 2012 going. The Tatapilla playing with my phone just behind me. Mcj trying to breath and stay alive :) - he's got cold and flu. TGIF.

New Baby

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // 1 comment
Our friend welcomed a new baby to the family - a girl. Their second child. We visited her once and she seemed be one contented baby as she slept despite the raucus of two toddlers running around chasing each other. We have not been to the baby shower at bestbabyshower, if they ever had one. We were so happy for them, their family is growing and my little boy just loves their 1st born - he considers him his brother.

7 Years in a Row

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // 1 comment
On my way home from the customer's site which by the way was very late, people were buzzing around the city and area around Suncorp Stadium, where the last origin game will be. I was excited about it but was quite disappointed because the I was not anywhere a telly. It would be late till I got home. Thankfully, it was just halftime when I set foot in our lounge. Queensland team, me being one, was ahead 6 points. After the half-time it was level to 20 and one of the Maroons did a field goal. It was historic. The stadium was all marooned, literally. Loads of logo golf balls won't find its way with the massive crowd. I'd say, I am a very proud fan.

Tummy Bug

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // 1 comment
The night I got back from being away for two nights, the little boy was ill. I was told he ate mix of food that didn't blend well together in his tummy. He's been sick 3 times before 12MN. I was worried of course but he weathered it like a trooper he is. Not too much whining. Another bout of sickness came around 3AM and I was not comfortable to leave him that day so I took a carer's leave, which my boss find didn't any problem despite the fact that one of our customers is going live (which people at work who are involved got a bronze bar so to speak). Thankfully, that day went really well. He was just perky as can be. Apparently, after talking to the staff at kindy a tummy bug is going around. Some of the kids at school were also sick. And an officemate of mine was also sick that week with the same cause. Thankfully, it didn't get any other of us at home.

Business Trip

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // No comments
I have been away from home for 2 nights in a row this week starting Monday. Our customer went live in their opening using our system. My two other colleagues went there to facilitate and assist. It was my first to be directly involved in the Go Live and yet despite my experience with just being a support at work while others are onsite, it was a pretty relax implementation. I reckon, it is attributed to the company really being ready for it plus the relationship that has been maintained all throughout. They went live on Thursday. I can say all the good things but then it will not be realistic then, is it. But I can only say something not so nice about the weather. Some mornings it was below zero but the use of ray ban 2132 during the day is still appropriate and for a tropical-blooded through and through it was a shock to my system. I had to use blankets and throw pillows as draught stopper. I survived.
