The weekend and the 'horror show'

I've had the most wicked weekend of my life so far this year..

I'm so eager for Holiday Club and my role in it this year - I'm gonna
be doing something I've never done, but still be in the background
eating grass!!

This morning I woke up at FIVE o'clock!!!
Yes it is true - I had to feed 4 animals before heading off to work.
Two at Karen's place and two at home. Now why would I want to wake up
so early?
Have you experienced traffic and the stress of getting to work on
time? Well I have and I did not want a repeat of last year! So I fed
the dogs, made breakfast, locked up and headed home. I got home at six
and fed the dogs, got dressed - I drove home in my pyjamas!! I even
got to transfer a picture to the office and arrive before anyone..

I sat in the car listening to 103FM, Impact radio. Good thing is that
they have changed since I last had them on in the mornings back when I
went to school.

I had an appointment at 11 that I missed but rescheduled half an hour
later. I also discovered the source of my incredible tooth ache two
weeks back - I got a root canal. It was not as scary as people say it
is, but then I also am not affected by things people do to me. They
used drills that looked as though they were meant for fastening
drywall to wood, and they kept replacing them with slimmer ones.

The only scary thing was the bill, and the quote for a crown...R3k -
If you can offer me a better price, PLEASE let me know!

I had yogi-sip and a small yogurt for lunch that I slurped up with a
straw - My bottom jaw was killed via injected ammo, rendering my mouth
useless for a few hours...! Worst thing was that with me waking up so
way uber early, I started dying at work and eventually left to go home
to sleep for an hour and a bit, round 4h30.

That's my story for today!
Keep brushing, flossing and using a mouthwash everyday,
Malcs

Quite the peculiar day!?!

OK, I just have to let this out of my system!


This morning before I left I said today was peculiar -  indeed, it
turned out to be peculiar..
Coming down Julius Jeppe Street I put my indicator on to turn left.
The car on the other side looked like she was going straight - no
indicators either way. I saw I could go, but as I left the stop
street, that lady turned at the same time. I stopped and she stopped
next to me and had a mouthful of silent words to give me.. It was her
fault for not indicating and I guess she forgot that shouting through
glass, the atmosphere and another pane of glass is utterly useless!?!

The speed limit is between 70km/h and 80km/h along Gen. Louis Botha,
but I got to drive at 40km/h because of some slow-coach driving a new
beamer two cars in front of me, and then also turned into Glenwood
Road! Great thing was that the BM made for the Menlyn area.

After the traffic light and the first circle in Glenwood Road, I came
centimetres from a bumper bashing experience. At the circle near the
top of the highest rise and the first speed bump, the person in front
of me stopped suddenly - it was very wet and I managed to stop only
centimetres away...I laughed it away and kept my distance doubled!

Fifty metres later, at the traffic light, the car in front of me made
movements as though it were to go through the orange light - it
decided to stop quite suddenly for no reason. Again the wet road did
not come to my rescue, but the brakes did and my fateful experience of
aqua-planing [sp?] some years back across from my old church!

A sighted, not blind, pedestrian decided to cross the road without
looking and walk as if the world stood still, for thirty seconds,
while he got to the other side - I wanted to turn right, the car
opposite mine wanted to turn left and the driver on my left needed to
go straight...

Finally, Darren got me to leave the office today by turning off the
lights as he and Johnathan were leaving - Darren called it a great
incentive to get me to leave the office on time!!

The enD!!

Another lesson...in PHP about parents!?!

I had a bit of a learning about forgetfulness and php includes
tonight. I remember the gallery being called galindex.php, so made
that the default page via .htaccess, then copied the include.index.php
to galindex.php. I wondered why it took beyond ages to load the
gallery..and then I remembered - I had included galindex.php in
include.index.php which was used yesterday as index.php and the old
index.php was renamed to galindex.php.

For the 8% that understood the above, you'd agree with me that that
was a classy first endless-loop I had created!!
I learnt three things:
1. Write down developments for future reference;
2. The parent file can include the parent file that can include the
parent file that includes the parent file which includes the parent
file of the parent file...etc
3. My parents had parents of their own and those parents had parents
too, who also had parents that had parents of their own!?!

Much like me answering a phone call that never existed and handing it
over to another person...
And when the dogs bark, my lights change colour!
