The Ball…
Had an interesting day yesterday as I prepared for the Ball. Just as I get most of my errands done and am heading home, Jim calls me to find out who rebooted a server. I eventually found out later the phantom admin was Gary, called in at short notice because Mal’s head was flying off or something…
I also had a hell of a time sourcing a particular bottle of wine for the small dinner party in my huose last night. It took me 5 off licences, including Oddbins before I found out the Dublin supplier of Wolf Blass Chardonnay Semillon doesn’t have any left, so nowhere in Dublin would have it. Eventually, I discovered a few bottles in box sets in SuperQuinn and managed to convince the sales staff to open up a box set for me and he even printed barcodes for a cheaper Chardonnay Semillon for me… 
During the afternoon, I got a phone call about one of the job applications I made last Monday. I now have a telephone interview next week for the position of Data Centre Technician for Google Ireland.
Last night was good. After the nice 3 course dinner I cooked in my house with Ciara, Emma and Leah, we headed into Siobhan’s flat before finally heading down to the Ball.I bumped into lots of people during the night, including Gary, Nóirín and Colmmacc, Graham, Joe (with his top hat), Denise, Donal and many others before I retired home around 3am. I would have liked to check out Too Many DJs, but I wouldn’t call myself a die hard fan…
All in all, a good day…
