So, quite a lot of things have happened since my last update. I actually wanted to blog about some of them yesterday, but I ran into a "Got an error: Connection error: Too many connections" error when trying to connect to my MT install. Luckily the HM staff was onto it in a matter of minutes. However I went out to work and when I came back I kinda forgot to blog. Instead I spend my time chatting on the new BMEzine IRC server. It's been a while since I really did long IRC sessions, but I was sucked right back into it. The commands were a little rusty, but I remembered quite a few.
Yesterday I got a mail from Dimi (who runs New Zealand) stating that the company he worked for the past years has gone bankrupt. If anyone is in need of an experienced IT manager in Belgium, make sure to leave a comment, so I can tell him to get in touch with you.
When I arrived at work, I was asked to step into the site control room where my chef was as well. I told him I'd been to the eye specialist and optician to get glasses, and he was pleasantly suprised that I already done all of that. He'd make an appointement to be checked by the intercompany medical services as soon as possible, so I can get cleared by them as well and have my drivers license changed by the local government to reflect the added clearance.
He also told me that he'd be pulling one of the colleagues from a team and put me in place instead. I was really stunned when he told me, as I didn't see that one coming. Well, maybe I did hear some rumours over the past few days, but still, I was pleasantly suprised. He went on a while about earning the position for people that work hard and fit in etc, so I thanked him profoundly and set out to work my shift.
That was yesterday. I just got a call a few minutes ago that my glasses are ready so I can got pick them up. This means first I gotta stop at the bank to plunder my savingsaccount since I found out that the system of getting an advance to your paycheck on the 22nd and then the rest of it on the 8th is only used when you explicitely request it. Something I didn't know, and it'll make things a bit hard next week, as my mortgage is due on the fourth. This means I'll have to wait till the 8th to get paid, but I'll request a change starting the month of June.
What else was there to write? *ponders* Ah yes... I have to work on the 13th of June, so I won't be able to help out during the elections. My employer will have to give me proof of it, so I can present that to the person responsible for the election booth where I would have to be. I'll look up his number and give him a call today.
