13th June 2007 - Work, Work, Work

Well the plan today was to be at work from 8:00AM until around about 5:45PM. However, I woke up ever so lightly late and ended up getting to work for 11:45AM. Work was fairly uneventful in general. I work on some of the mess in the ICT room, had a chat with Pete about the equipment for the recording studio in the new build and then rounded off the day with a meeting with some guys from Rothwell Church of England Primary School about some audio equipment they wanted to borrow for a school play.

I got home, after walking in the rain, at bout 5:45PM. I was so hungry, as I am now, as I had not had anything to eat all day, excluding a packet of cadburys milk buttons! I got home and had a large bowl full of pasta from yesterdays tea, it was so nice although the huge am mount made it hard to eat towards the bottom of the bowl!

The rest of the day was uneventful. I watched a bit of TV on sky and over the Internet and chatted with friends online. The only event of the evening was when tension between Jim and Gareth at the UKSLC led to Gareth being expelled from the community as a member of the editorial/administrative team. Gareth and Jim have had thier differences for some time now. I have elected not to become involved. Although I know Gareth much better than Jim I have decided that it is best to remain neutral. While I consider Gareth to be a friend I can see that he has a uncanny ability to get on the wrong side of people or rub them up the wrong way without realising it. This is a dispute that I don't want to get in the middle of in all honestly. I can see both sides of the argument however am going to try and talk to Jim to get him to forward e-mails which go to Gareths UKSLC account to go to an account with a service like hotmail that Gareth should have or will have to set up instead of deleting that e-mail address outright. We will see how that unfolds in the coming days, I have no doubt about that.

Anyway, I have a feeling that despite my resolution to get to bed at a reasonable hour, which will have to be the case soon to gather the strength and energy I require in order to survive the work that I will be doing during the Garforth Arts Festival period.

In other news, so to speak, the results of my university examinations and lab modules are now available. I am probably going to travel into Leeds tomorrow to purchase a few items, including some for Fathers-day and work so might head on up to the department and retrieve my results. Some of my course mates who live away from Leeds have requested that I find out how they did too as well as collect their lab books where possible. Should be an interesting day.
