Weekend Away
Recently I’ve found myself shopping online a lot.
After trying to buy a few USB mobile phone cables from Mobile Fun, I had lots of hassle with them. First they wanted proof of billing address, I followed their instructions (twice) and I never actually heard my order had shipped, then after sending them 6 or 7 emails asking what my order’s status was, I was eventually told that they had cancelled my order, without informing me of this. So, I’m taking my business to eXpansys in future.
Thankfully, my order for Kill Bill Vol 1 and Kill Bill Vol 2 had no problems. I quite like SendIt (nee´ Blackstar), not only were both DVDs only €20 each, but they’re quite quick to ship to Ireland for free. 
Tomorrow’s my last day in Critical Path, since I’ve worked enough hours outside office hours (mostly last week), I’m able to take Friday off and still be paid for it. Of course having Friday off helps, I’m flying to Milan via Paris early on Friday to meet Ciara in Milan for a weekend away.
After the weekend, work shall be taking the the form of code monkey programming nixers and the usual adminning I’m always doing. Plus I might get to start planning to build a file server for home, since the current 600GB space (mostly full) just isn’t enough…
