20 years of amphetamines and failure.

So last night a couple of co-workers and I went up Jarvis to the Red Lion after work with the intention of having a couple drinks. After the third pitcher, one of my co-workers decided to e-mail iolarah and say that they had kidnapped me with the intent to get wasted. So she ended up coming out as well and enjoying a bit of pub fare for dinner. So after about 6 hours, we finally tottered off to catch the street car to Bathurst, and the Bathurst bus to Lakeshore (!!?). Goddamn Bathurst bus.

All and all a very good time was had. Ubar-geeky conversations, and a lot of Keith's :)

Yesterday it was decided at the office that it was patio weather. So after closing up shop, we all went to The Madison (just north east of Bloor and Spadina) for many pints, nachos and wings. It was awesome. A tonne of geek conversations and work related chats. Defiantly an kick ass time!

I was a *little* destroyed when I got home ;)

The office is very quiet right now... I wonder why?

This morning I left the house in a bit of a brain-fogged state. I got one alley away from the house before noticing that I had left my rings inside... soooo i went back and got them. I had to walk twice past the bag that had my sandwich in it, and both times I took no heed of it.

I hate forgetting lunch.

So I've *finally* negotiated my 3 month trial contract, and it's better than a kick in the teeth :) There used to be more here, but common sense has won out.

Firefox 1.0.4 is out. It's not hugely critical, but it does fix the security flaw they announced on May 7th (Javascript exploit and Mozilla Update issues).

Also: I'm at work :D

I AM HIRED!!!

I got a call on my cell as iolarah and I were walking! I was asked if I can come in tomorrow, and that I'll negotiate my contract then, too. Then I was welcomed aboard!

That is such a load off my shoulders.

I would like to thank gothjen for the wonderful Crasin banana bread! I brought a slice to work for an after-lunch treat!

It's been non-stop here this morning... quite interesting!

So yesterday at the ISP went awesomely. I started handling phone calls (mostly redirecting them to other people) and getting settled in.

My desk setup is a little ghetto, but who cares. I have an IBM T20 plugged into a Apple G3 "Aqua" LCD monitor and a Microsoft optical mouse. If I get hired on permanently I'll get a desktop computer and such.

Today I've already fielded a support call and resolved the ticket. Sweeeet :>

Anyway, back to 'er.

Note to self: Dress code at the ISP is "comfortable". YAY no tie and comfy clothes :)

OMG WORK TOMORROW

I am honestly freaking out here. I just checked my webmail for work to get used to the troubleticket style. They use squirrel mail like Analognoise does ;)

I'm a nerd. I'm also really excited about going in tomorrow. I have a good feeling about this.
