• So, having spent a whole week on a course, I got into work on Monday to find that I was going up to York to install a new DC. Fortunately my boss went with me because I have No Clue. I did all the dusty pulling cables out bit, and thought that I could do more useful stuff with my time. I also did a lot of knitting while waiting around for processes to run. Oh, and I learnt the dcpromo command. I doubt I shall ever have to do this in my career again. On the plus side, it was an overnight trip, so I got to hang out with my friends from uni in the pub after. Bless them, but there was a degree of desperation in their attempts to amuse themselves by being silly. It was as though the last 10 years had never happened. It was just somehow sadder to watch them push their way through a portal to the future, then the past. Sort of Goon show on Speed, and live, and hilariously funny, and so very sad as well. Frozen in time. Then I had a birthday, and a trip to the ballet, and many lovely presents. I'm now waiting for my parents to arrive so that we can go .... And we went to the zoo. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, Dad or me. I'd wanted to go to see the baby gorilla, Tiny. He was terribly cute, and still very little. Much smaller than a human baby at the same age. Brown eyes to die for. There were also baby meerkats, monkeys and mole rats. All ridiculously cute. Then sleepy tigers and wide awake giraffes and three lions. Gloriously sunny weather too. A very satisfying trip out. I ought to get a season ticket and go more often. I'm vaguely watching a film, then I shall go to bed. Knackered. Must be all that fresh air. Xxx
