Just savouring the fact that I am on the way home…
The sky is blue.
I am starting to feel human again. Been traipsing around Manchester town centre a bit in an aimless sort of way for a while.
Been busy at work again. Integration problems for some people from the company we took over the customer base of (Birmingham ISP Cloud9).
We got a bunch of equipment from them yesterday as well. Servers racks & all that sort of thing. Heavy stuff to be moved. There was a desktop machine that has a nice spec & given to us in tech support. As I currently have the most sluggish machine I’ve got it. Nice to have a bit of zip in the step.
We had network problem on our systems today. One of those once in a blue moon moments. I cannot really recall the last time it happened, but routers were being updated/patched & one crucial one did not go to plan & everything went dead in the water for.. well – it was probably less than an hour – but such things always seem to be an eternity.
Still – I feel over tired at the moment.

Poor kid – she must be 4 or under, & her mum is not happy with her. They just got off the train – she’d fallen asleep & her mum got her off her knee &said we’re getting off – “Open your eyes.” Then through gritted teeth “Open. Your. Eyes.” The kid was crying her eyes out when they got on the train & all her mum was doing was threatening her for crying. “I’m gonna paste you in front of all these people if you don’t stop whingeing!” She was obviously tired & more obviously wanting reassurance, but only getting rebuffed. You become much more critical of other parents when they are just being selfish. Especially when your so self critical. A hug would have probably made the kid feel immediately better rather than a torturous 5 mins of wailing & returned threats as we left Manchester.

tired – no more thinking today.
