A long long day 2006 March 8 23:16
Posted by diamond in : Random, Skynet , add a commentSo. Yesterday i got up at 8am, drove to roscrea. From there cheez drove us the rest of the way to dublin, and dropped me off at the allergy test centre in charlemont clinic. I currently have 50 tiny patches on my back. They get removed tomorrow, and i get told if i’m allergic to any of the substances.
From there i walked over to google and lurked suspiciously for a while. I got to have (free! -) lunch (mmm, mexican), play foosball (oh so very badly), flump into a budda bag (massive happy comfy softness), shot by various nerf weaponage, visited the vaunted 4th floor (that of the sys admins and suspicious glances), feel oh-so-tiny in the presense of the people that work there, and have a go on a segway (no limbs were lost or damaged -). All in all, it was a very interesting visit. Really must polish up CV and submit.
After that i found myself a cheez again and we went and met up with a noirin for some pretty decent hot chocolate, and some amazingly large surprisingly good chocolate cake. The plan was to then head back into town for sushi with dredg ‘n toaster (yay!). It didn’t go _quite_ according to plan.
While killing some time in tower (i bought ‘the hours’ on dvd. yay), i received notice from pron that there were some assorted rack bits that he’d like to donate to skynet, if i happened to be around dublin city-centre at the time. I said ‘yay’. There were then various attempts at communication, which mostly failed. The end result was that myself ‘n cheez ‘n noirin ended up walking a considerable distance, half of which involved carrying some rather heavy metal bits. I had understood the parts were light. Pron had understood i was bringing a car. Neither were correct ,-) Doh. Apologies and much thanks to both cheez and noirin for the assistance.
Once we had finally delivered the items back to the car, it was time for sushi. Mmmmmm sushi -) Toaster was unable to make it (*cries*), but we had an aussie reaplcement, dim (no really. short for ‘dimitria’. she ruled). Sushi was really good, though sadly lacking in salmon slabs. *drools*. Hooray for all-you-can-eat-in-55-mins -) Noirin kept count, i managed to rack up about €45 worth of sushi, which is about €10 short of my record, but still quite respectable. Dredg has photo evidence which i hope to wrangle out of him.
I managed to make it home by 2am, after stopping at cheez’s house for a while to watch him play fable which he’s been raving about. I think i even managed to get to sleep for 3. Oh for the sweet sweet touch of slumber.
*Update*
Evidence has arrived.
