Thursday the 17th…
…is unluckier than any Friday the 13th i’ve ever experienced!
First off, during work I found out i’m probably not going to go on the J2EE training course I was hoping for… not just that, but ANY external training in the near future! Looks like it’s crappy, old C.B.T. manuals for the time-being.
Secondly, during our regular Thursday evening football session I, and the others on my team, played abysmally, and got to a point where it was about 25 - 3 to the other team. The humiliation was only cut short by the fact that my mentor, Ian, took a nasty spill and injured himself quite badly around the shoulder/collarbone area, forcing him to go off to hospital.
Then, worst of all (at least from a completely selfish perspective) SOMEONE RAN INTO OUR CAR!!!!! Our precious Kia has been blemished with a large (relative to the size of the car) dent in the bumper! BAH! The foolish woman driver (of COURSE it was a woman) was trying to pull out from behind while Hanne was waiting at a roundabout, but she (the other woman) didn’t leave enough room and went straight into ol’ PVR. Phooie. So this weekend we’re off to get a guesstimate as to how much it’s gonna hurt the womans wallet (she didn’t want to go through the insurance companies unless the cost is rather high).
Then again, 17/02 isn’t all bad… it’s ‘APPEH BUFFDEH over at Chez Hesam! Have a good one mate!
And other good news: my grandfather is coming along ok and is (slowly) recovering and getting some strength back! rah!

And I thought I had a bad day. Sorry to hear about your KIA and the low probability of external training, something that small shouldn’t get hurt. But I am glad to hear about your grandfather, keep up the good work!
