Tell me that when it's 40

I think that's why Canberra houses generally have neither adequate heating nor cooling (WTF don't we all have ceiling fans, at the very least?)  - you forget about each season till it happens, then you don't have the money right then to do something about it, or all the heaters/air-conditioning units are out of stock.  By the time you _are_ able to buy a decent heater, it's in the 30s again and it seems like a silly idea.  Likewise with aircon.

Interesting stat - the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures so far this year has been 45 degrees (82 f).
If we can just hit minus 10 this winter, we'll have a round 50 :)
(not likely to happen though, -6 is the coldest we've had in my memory, -10 is the coldest on record)

Poor you! Good luck in getting it all up and running again.

I'm consoling myself with the thought "hey, at least I have a backup server lying around". Which makes me feel good for as long as it then takes me to think, "yeah, which you've had lying around for a friggin' year! Couldn't you have found time to do something with it before now?!"

*does the happy dance of happy dance-ness*

I can totally go back to slacking on getting the new server set up. Sooooo many other things to do first. Who cares about that new server anyway??! :D

(Okay, but seriously, as soon as my current project ends come the first of July, I'm going to take as long as it takes to set things up right; don't want to have this happen to me a second time!)

Welcome from the land of Hydroxycut. I believe this may be one of the seven levels of hell.

Hydroxycut?

An OTC diet drug that was recently recalled by the FDA on May 1. It causes liver damage and all sorts of other nasty things.

It has been on the market for a while, and was wildly popular.

We're gathering clients for action against the company. I've a couple of people helping me with the phone calls, but otherwise, I'm the only one working the file. As of this morning, I've got almost 3,000 clients, with more coming in daily.

There's all sorts of rules and documentation that I have to follow. We cannot just say "I'm going to ignore this one" because they do not meet criteria.

My paycheck has been very fat lately, what with all the OT.

Work was fine until five minutes ago, when I broke my NaNoWriMo mug. :(

Maen mint. Just about to go to bed and dreading a big day of orienteering tomorrow.

Blergh!

I know how you feel. I even had to disappoint Ivo by not wanting to go for a (bicycle) ride with him. But I'm just too tired. Guess I'll tuck in early.

Nackup server? :D

I know I should still study, but I think I'll go to bed.
