Today is not a good day. The results from my blood test were back and I got an appointment to see the doctor as some of the results were abnormal. The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is from 5 to 40 units per liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood). The…
Today was the first day back at work following the AusCERT conference, and I spent nearly all the day telling my colleagues of my decision. This was not the original plan, but was necessary because at the end of the management conference call when everyone was told about me and my preferences in life, one…
Today was the day to unpack the suitcase from last week and start the washing. Ally took the p*ss when she saw my pink top, “it’s pink” she said numerous times, followed by, “it’s horrible”. Not that she’s seen me wearing it, nor has she seen any of the photos, and I like it. Later…
Today I got back home, and it I saw Ally for the first time in two weeks, my God she’s lost a lot of weight! This evening things didn’t go too well, Ally indicated how she was irritated to hear about Michelle’s exploits during the last week. I tried to explain that when she asked…
Today was a long day, most of it spent wandering the streets of Sydney looking for “new toys”. This evening though was set to be more fun, a couple of friends invited Michelle out for a meal, yes that’s right, invited Michelle. Well who am I to get in the way, of course I would…
The day was uneventful, and Michelle was not seen as most of it was spent driving.
This morning I awoke, later than usual, and so happy nothing could upset me. I went to the plenaries and had a silly and permanently affixed grin on my face, so much so that some of the girls in the organising team commented that I was looking like I was the happiest person on the…
Tuesday morning started with me very upset. I phoned Ally and had a chat, she suggested it might be the change in medication and that I should make a point of seeing the doctor as soon as I got back home. I agreed, but was a little more skeptical as I knew the events of…
This has to have been my worst day so far, in fact I’d even suggest that it was my worst day in ten years. The day started as sullen as I had a slight headache (read: hangover) and I was still feeling upset over the conversation in the bar the previous night, and the fact…
Today was the first day of AusCERT 2008, and as usual brought plenty of surprises for many. The conference welcome drinks started at 6pm, I arrived fashionably late (as usual) and there began the surprises, both for me and for others. It was nice that Claire had advised the conference organisers that I would be…
Today was a beautiful day for diving, and I had lots of fun with the Nautilus SCUBA Centre diving on Flinders Reef at the North of Moreton Island. Diving started early in the morning with a 6am start for a 6:45am departure from the Nautilus SCUBA Centre shop. The diving was pretty uneventful, however a…
Is not shopping the favourite hobby and pass time of any girl? Brisbane can be fun to explore, but so can running around your old stomping ground visiting the shops you know are there, and to that end it wasn’t long before I had a complete new outfit and some extras from the Mount Ommaney…
