August 13 Update for the sake of updatingI have spent the better part of the last two
weeks being poked, prodded, and tested for various things, and I'm tired and
cranky.
Given my long history with doctors and knee
surgery my reluctance to visit a even a GP is understandable.
What irks me more, is being sent to specialist
after specialist and ending up with a lighter wallet but being no closer to an
answer.
What I do know is that I require surgery. When it
will happen is another question as I have two specialists disagreeing with one
another (or more accurately one advising the other not to operate until he's
done something else first)
Oh lucky, lucky me.
So as time wears on, I get more impatient, more
cranky, and just plain frustrated.
Patience is a virtue, and I guess I just have to
wait it out.
August 02 R.I.P StarbucksAfter a horrendously busy week at work I am now
mourning the loss of Starbucks.
Saturday, the day to slow down and just hop off
the world for a peaceful few hours, usually involves a hard session at the gym
followed by a Venti skim latte.
This morning though, horror of all horrors, it
was no venti skim latte, but rather a large skim latte from the neighbouring
Gloria Jeans.
And quite frankly I am disappointed.
I am clearly a person of predictability, the main
reason I like Starbucks is that no matter where in the world I go they are the
same.
So for consistencies sake I prefer the brew I get
at good old Starbucks.
R.I.P Starbucks (well my closest ones at least).
God knows when I will see another one.
On another note, our little project at work is
fast speeding towards it's deadline. Ok, so the dates have been moved several
times already. But many an hour has been spent in the lab fixing production bugs
before they occur.
How so? you ask?
Well testing an only simulate so much. So in
order to foresee production faults, we actually staged the production services
and have been testing them.
A good thing to, we found a bug in production
that never occurred in any of the testing that we did.
All is resolved now so I am a happy camper for
the weekend.
All that remains is to find some mindless
activity to keep me occupied.
Later.
July 13 15 minutes and countingIf anyone has far exceeded their fifteen minutes
of fame, it is Schappelle Corby and family.
If we thought we'd heard the last of her two
years ago we were wrong.
She is not content to rot away in her Indonesian
prison cell quietly, she'd much rather keep the dream alive.
Following on in the footsteps of Hollywood celebs
(if you aren't being written about then you are NO ONE) the whole Corby clan is
the equivalent of the personal assistant/press secretary and publicist all
rolled into one big dysfunctional family.
Give it a rest will you? I want some real
news.
July 08 Why oh why dear Cosmo?Oh Cosmo, give me a break.
For heavens sake being single at the age of 25 is
not a life threatening illness. Pur...lease.
You really have to laugh at some of these
articles, but I know in reality there are women out there that are honestly
devastated if they are 25 and not in a serious relationship.
But, do we truly aspire to be one half of a
couple? are we nothing without a male partner (or whatever your reference
happens to be).
Seriously though, are we defined by who we are as
individuals or who we are as a couple?
We know what the answer should be but many of us
fall into the trap that we are nothing without a partner.
This is an attitude that society seems to have
ingrained in us, that we take at face value.
If you honestly want some advice? Don't get it
from a women's magazine.
Be yourself, be happy with yourself as person,
and then when you least expect it someone will come along. It's the confidence
we exude when we are comfortable with ourselves that attracts
others.
June 29 Iphone and why I want oneWhat a wonderful piece of marketing by Apple
prior to the launch of the iPhone.
Everyone is talking about it (even me, a die hard
Nokia fan)
I can not wait to get my hands on one. Even
though I honestly don't know whether it will actually meet my needs as a
consumer.
I want one purely on the basis of the hype, and
yes I know I am being sucked in, just like a lot of others. But you know what? I
don't care.
It's new, it's hot, and it's almost
here.
Mission accomplished by the Apple, their public
relations department and the advertising company promoting the
iPhone.
