island tales #51

oh. i was late for work today... well, not really late, more like later-than-usual-but-still-early-for-work kinda late. i usually wake up at 6.20, and by 7 (the latest) im sitting here getting some work done. but not today. woke up to find (to my astonishment) that the time was 7.08am. gasp. must have been all that programming.

...to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat- pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on...

* * * * *

anyway. workload is quite manageable still, though, and time here plods on as rapidly as it always has. since the guys won't be able to make it this weekend, the trip is most probably postponed until the end of october, as fong needs to recover from his pox.

still no news of the computer. sigh. every call is replied with "the supplier hasn't replied us yet". patience.. patience... the day will come...

...`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked. `There isn't any,' said the March Hare. `Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it,' said Alice angrily...

* * * * *

oh yes, and i successfully had another mini adventure, of sorts. was out of cash, so had to get to the other bank to get some. so took a detour while on the way back to work, to get to sunshine before i went completely bust. hopefully i'll get paid soon (actually, i know i'll get paid soon), and i'm also awaiting the quarterly 'big kahuna' from petronas.

mmm.. i love presents!

...`they gave it me -- for an un-birthday present.' `I beg your pardon?' Alice said with a puzzled air. `I'm not offended,' said Humpty Dumpty. `I mean, what is an un-birthday present?' `A present given when it isn't your birthday, of course.'...

* * * * *

(yes, those quotes are from alice in wonderland/ through the looking glass. available for your reading pleasure at www.literature.org, so go on, have a read. i'm off to play with pink flamingos! get back to my work.)
