A busy but tiring wednesday

Today as usual is my day off. I did not have to go to BUCO today. Instead i went to town and gave back a few DVD's and rented "Honey, I blew up the kid" from Roundabout Video. Desmond Loong came over in the evening. He has left Excelior and is trying to get some work with the Education Department. We downloaded VB Express and SQL Server Express along with the Dot net framework but could not get it to burn to DVD. We also had dinner and watched the news on tv.

A nice tuesday

It was a good day at work. Nothing much happened, i made good progress with the reporting set up. I rented the video "2010, the year we makde contact" from the library. It was a good movie.

A wet Sunday

I did not go to church today as it was raining very heavily. I visited with Graeme Phillips and family in the afternoon. Graeme had invite me to come over at some time, so i thought i would drop in for a cup of tea. It was a nice pleasant visit.

A relaxing Saturdayl

I joined Videoland which is just up the road from where i live. I rented "City of Angels". It was a really great movie.

Working on the new reports

Now that the database at BUCO has been fixed up, I could not wait to try out the new report writing system. They seem to work really well as i can now make more sense of them. I did not do any data entry but concentrated on putting new working out the new system.

After work i joined Video EZY in Mitchell St and hired the documentary "The great global warming swindle." It was great to see it again.

I felt unwell today

I struggled through work today as i was feeling unwell. I think i may be coming down with the flu. I had so far avoided it this winter but now it looks like it is my turn to get it.

Another 'fairly' quiet wednesday

As usual, Wednesday is a day off for me, which just means that i do not have to go into BUCO for the day. I got a few dvd's from the Goldfields library, got a haircut and tried to download the latest version of dot.net, that is version 3.5. As it was a 63mb download i soon gave up, it was taking too long. Inthe evening, we had our men's shiraz group. This time we met at Rod Giri's house in Junortoun. We watched a really good movie called 'Wild Hogs', that was great. We drank a lot of wine and had a great general discussion and a good prayer time afterwards. It was a pretty good day after all.

A good tuesday

I was allowed to come to work late, as i would be leaving later. Roger Connell showed up in the afternoon. He spent all of the afternoon at BUCO. He uploaded a new version of the database software, which was really good. He also helped me sort out a few outstanding issues with the software, especially in regards to the access reports. In all, it was a really good afternoon as we got a lot done, and a number of issues sorted out. I feel that a lot of bugs were ironed out.

Monday.....again

It was a fairly quiet day at work today. It was cold and windy, the wind really got up in the afternoon. In the evening i watched a documentary on Four Corners about Tim Johnson, the con man behind 'Firepower". It is always fascinating to see how people can be conned.

A cold wet Sunday

It was raining but i still decided to go to church. It was cold in the building but it was a good well attended service. I got a lift home from Trevor and Terri Clark.

Another quiet wet Saturday

Today was cold and wet. I went into town and borrowed a couple of PC User disks from the library.
In the evening i recommenced my study into Visual Basic. I feel that i will need it soon. All in all, a very quiet day.

Friday

I could not post a blog on Thursday the 17th of July as i could not get my internet to connect. I think it must have been the fault of the ISP's computer. At any rate, things are ok now. Kath, my boss told me that there would be a lot more IT work to do. Also, Peter Darlow told me that Roger Connell is visiting next tuesday. I am looking forward to meeting him as i have a lot to ask him.

A busy wednesday

I did have a good sleep in, it was my day off after all. When i went to get the bus i found that i did not have my Health Care Card. I have misplaced it somewhere. I am a bit worried that i have started to lose a few things. I could not find it later on. I discovered a really good article on Facebook in PC Authority so i bought a copy and will check out the DVD at home.

A cold wet Tuesday

It was a very cold and wet day today. I spent most of the afternoon updating the cheques database.
I overslept a bit when i got home.

Falling over.....

My day did not start out well. I fell over in the street on the way to work. Nothing was damaged except my dignity. I think i slipped on a wet piece of concrete. Other than that it was a quit day at work. The good part was that i was given a new work chair to sit on, bigger and more comfortable.

A quiet Sunday

Today it was raining, cold and wet. So i did not go to church. Also i knew there was no heating in the church building so i did not go but stayed home. I really do feel that i need a car and i am praying to the Lord that he will grant me the funds to buy one soon.

A quiet Saturday

Today was very cold and wet. The temperature did not get above 12 degrees. I stayed home most off the day and kept up my study on SQL Server 2005. I feel that i am making good progress. I watched a DVD called Tremors 4 in the evening.

End of the working week

Today was the end of the week for another working week. Antoinette from the Salvation Armt came to see me today and told me that my stay lasts until December. I am getting glowing reports, which is great. I hope this will translate into something more concrete! We shall see.

Doctors appointment

I had to go to the outpatients section of the hospital today to get checked in for surgery. The doctor told me that i had a hernia which needs to be stitched. It is not serious, but should be done. I stayed at BUCO for an hour longer because i was late getting there. The weather is really cold and wet.

A day off.....

Today was another idle Wednesday. I did not do much at all except visit a couple of op shops. We had the Mens Shiraz club again, this time at Geoff Bray's house in Beischer st, which is Peter Wilding's old home. Rod geri told me about Browns gas, which apparently can save you a lot of money on your gas mileage.

Winters blast

We really know that Winter is here. A cold front has moved in and it did not get above 10 degrees Celsius anywhere in Victoria today. There is lots of snow on the Alps, and plenty of rain, which is good. I am making good progress in learning SQL Server 2005.

Mondayitis

I went back to work at BUCO. It was a good day but i was still tired from the weekend. It is cold and raining, which is great. I was unable to do any exercises when i got home because i was still tired, but i did have a brisk walk.

Moving Sunday

Today there was no church service as usual. Instead we spent several hours moving stuff from Abel St to Fitt Crt. We got most of it moved and it was a tiring day. There was a great documentary
on SBS in the evening about cars of the future.

A quiet day

I had gone to bed early and slept in late, as i was tired from the end of the week. I did not do much today except take out a membership with Video EZY and keep on studying SQL Server 2005.

Back to work

It was good to get back to BUCO after the previous days break. Everything went weel until late in the afternoon when the network decided to play up. Lots of annoying glitches.

A day off

Today was my day off for the week. I got $86 from Continuing Ed, $43 more than expected. It seems that i have been paid for my preparation time as well as the teaching time. A very quiet day otherwise.
