Weekend...

Its the final week before the big move, next week. I did some OT on saturday, from 8am till noon. Thats great. I did it moving rubbish. Thats not great. Officially the warehouse people are just rubbish collectors. Even the normal rubbish collector went over there to... peel plastic off windows. Lots of the non-company people (who do the rubbish collecting, re-doing doors and building/painting) were there... Being busy. The new offices are big and luxurious, the cubicles are big and the warehouse is 2.5 size our normal size. Except that there's a lot of police here, and well... Its a big big place, walking around actually takes time now. Good and bad points... bigger kitchen, lots of room. Bad points... all areas have security coding on the doors, meaning to get from one area to the other requires swipe card access. I think one area will be the designated smoker area, which is outside the lower kitchen. Oh there's like 3 kitchens! 3 kitchens, what are they, food eater company? @_@. A couple of boardrooms, and plenty of offices. Needless to say, it'll cost a lot to be renting there, I can tell you that. Next week will be hell.

Also, I managed to cut my little toe. My bro went out to buy a computer Case and HDD. And a power supply too. We came back and started assembling it. All was well, until after we put the computer on the desk, and it won't boot properly. So I removed the side panel, placed it on the side... and it fell down and sliced into my little toe. Where the toenail meets the flesh. No pain was registered, I lifted the panel off, and then, blood flowed out. And then there was pain. Blood sharp side panel... Made out of aluminum... scary... mum stemmed the flow with some red medicine fluid, and it seems to work. So bandaged it and I'm walking around fine. Except when fitting into a shoe.

Went out today to do some shopping, the toe hurts when crammed into the shoe... thats to be expected, there's a huge cotton bud on it... thats why. It doesn't feel like it's bleeding, but still, even after a new cotton swab it still looks like there's blood coming out. Anyways, shopping was buying rice and milk and other stuff. And there was the HUGE dog in the supermarket (wollies). WTF? It was walking around and looked like a huge FAT wolf. Snow/Grey in color, and salavating. One of the staff (3 were walking around trying to chase it out but scared it might bite them) was telling shoppers to be careful since it bites... and mum was like standing there while the dog was sniffing her... I thought that she was stupid, since I told her to move back but she just stood there -_-. But lucky the staff had shooed the dog away. We finished our shopping, and went to the fruit shop, which was just closing. The shop keeper just decided to sell all the 'remaining' display stock for 1/2 price or less. Meaning 3 punnets of Strawberries for $1, pot of nectarines for $1, pot of grapes for $1, and 3 mangoes for $1. Lots of bargins there. Mum was gonna change one of the punnets of strawberries but I told her not to, its not wise to pick and choose. And I was right. This other woman, after choosing 3, tried to change one and the shop guy just told her 'NO SWAPPING!!'. Either get these 3 or don't buy. So she drop them and didn't buy it. I think its wise. You're already getting a bargin, if u don't like it, don't buy it. Simple enough. Some people want perfection for so little (reminds me of the f**cking idiots who buys computer parts. When they know there's not 100% chance that the product will be perfect. But they expect perfection for that price. No wonder people lose faith in the electronics industry. Just make more products and hopefully they have a lower failure rate.). Anyways, after that, did some photo editing for my dad, see if he wants me to put them up on an album somewhere or print them out. Big W sounds good, at $0.33 per pic into a 6x4" print.

Ah work work work! :/ And its a new month :P yay. :P
