Congrats man!

Speaking of work, had my first performance review the other day and sounds like they're really happy with how I'm going and surprised at my ability compared to where I should be, so tracking pretty well so far.

Thanks mate!

And good work likewise mate. My first PR was pretty average, but have come a long way since then. It took me a good six months to settle and feel. Only had the one because we have been that flat out and my boss has had so much other shit to worry about. Got a feeling though my next one will be pretty good though. Two people resigned in my team, which gives me greater job security too. Big relief.

I think a big thing that works in my favour too at work is that I am rarely away sick (missed 7.5 days in a year) - and 5 of those were due to the appendicitis, and I think I have been late once (and even then it wasn't my fault due to the trains).

I've only had one sick day in three years and that was just an excuse for a job interview. Only had two days off sick in high school as well and one of those I faked it to my Mum so I could play pro evo 5

May 8th release date. I guess that means probably Monday for us.

I know what I am doing all of Monday at work then!

Just because there was some tennis talk, how's this for a shot

PES5, what a game. One of the all time greats.

Only 7.5 days away and late once, what's a bad employee rack up?

I was late to work once but they never believed my legit excuse.

I use my phone as my alarm and the battery was nearly dead. So I put it on charge and I think everything's good. I'm a very deep sleeper so I wake up to my brother saying my boss was on the phone. I quickly get lectured then say I'm coming in. I tell them what happened when I get in. Turns out there was a storm during the night and our power went out, so my phone never charged and thus my alarm never went off. I never lived that story down.

Haha piss off

lol the other two days I couldn't eat anything because I had a severe bout of tonsillitis. On the second day I only got out of bed to go to the doctors.

I've had two sick days, when I really could have just worked from home I guess. I don't think they get too bothered by it though.

Had such an awesome weekend in Melbourne

Watched the Blues beat the Pies for the first time live and gradually got very, very drunk for my uncles birthday

Gutted to be sitting back at my desk now. At least I've got over 100 Bigfooty notifications to work through...

I am keen to get back to Melbourne this weekend.

Radiohead album is out for streaming but on Apple Music and TIDAL which rules me out for now.

Might have to purchase it on iTunes...

You can buy and download off of a site they setup.

I woke up this morning to 228 then wondered what had happened.

Filtering through them whilst I'm waiting to find out from a specialist what's wrong with my head.
