... the IT man in LibraryLand
After a long and tiring week catching up on all the work I so gleefully avoided whilst at my training last week I found myself finally able to relax at the farewell do for The Maple Maverick as he is about to forsake Libraryland for Mapleland.
I was a little late to the party and not for my usual fashionable grand entrance reasons. This time it was due to Sister Serials, ever a thorn in my side, discovering a slight flaw in my latest brilliant system tweak which made it impossible for her to complete her usual workflow. I fail to understand the issue as not having to do your job sounds like every workers dream to me. Nevertheless I soldiered on badgering away at the problem until eventually, with the call of the pub ringing in my ears I managed to decide to use the old IT standby "maybe it'll fix itself over the weekend".
Upon arrival at the venue I found out it was also yet another farewell for Adversary, who just won't stay away for good.
Anyway, The Maverick had gathered quite a mix of staff from across the branches and many tall tales and tall drinks were had before I tore myself away in order to rush home to catch the remains of the footy on tv - which, given how easily we dealt with Beeby's boys was quite the relaxing end to the week that I had been after all along.

... the Disappearing Week (and a half)
Well things have been so busy at work with the LMS upgrade - not long left to wait for 8 - and at home with renovations and packing that I haven't had a chance to even glance in the direction of the blog.
The painting in the new place is almost done, thanks to Handy Dad sneaking in and doing a lot of work during the week. We spent a few hours this afternoon wandering in a daze through Bunnings,
ordering thousands of dollars worth of floorboards and marveling at the low level of service (and, sadly, noticing what types of slip printers they had).
Last week was also the last week of work for The Polster from the council IT helpdesk and Adversary from Sandringham - making Friday fall below the average for work accomplished.
Now, in the interests of actually making these into cautionary tales I will add a caution about the movie Aeon Flux. I watched it after collapsing on the couch last Saturday night and it was a struggle even in that state. It's not bad-bad as such but there are much better films in its sub-genre. I never really got into the animation it's based on so maybe the film is a good adaption of the source material?
In other news Svetlana has got herself a job and will most likely be extending her stay in the homeland. Poo! Well at least I won't have to paint any of the rooms pink.
