• House [1] building inspection and pest inspection plus bank valuation booked, I am so working from home this afternoon
• House [2] monster Feminist Housing Collective Meeting (we need a shorter name for this but let it be known that having it in a restaurant over dinner and taking minutes via iPad worked well for me) covering utilities, internet provider, insurance, renovations, moving schedule and budget. Phew. Let's do that infrequently. My poor brain is fried; when I'm less tired I am going to reflect on the difference in the way we process numbers / images etc. and how that informs how we behave
• letterboxd account! this may not get a lot of use given my pathetic movie watching habits but it looks like it could be a lot of fun
• have joined the International Institute of Business Analysis and have a series of workshops lined up for 2012 - work has paid for workshops which is very nice

• Ear infection over, life so much nicer
• Comforting emails notwithstanding, uni textbook has not arrived on schedule - Bad fishpond, bad. Also your email subscription page’s unnerving tendency to spontaneously re-tick boxes does not endear you. I wonder if your choice of ‘games’ and then ‘music’ was random
• Took lilysea to IKEA to stalk beds for both of us, was exhausting, bought a nest single bed, I get the pleasure of assembling it tonight
• Father's Day unexpectedly traumatic but in a good way, am contemplating counselling, do not wish to be triggered by good things
• Work ‘do’ involving pub food, robot soccer battles and bowling. I can’t bowl, like I can’t ever remember which is my dominant hand when I’m playing – they are both that terrible, it was a surprisingly fun evening

• Asked work if I could go part-time for a month on Wednesday last week. Got headhunted on Thursday for different role (unrelated six week thing) and instead of working for 2.5 days per week I am now working on implementing Oracle EAM - yay! *frantically sources white papers*
• Solar Hot Water dude called at 7:55am and apologised for waking me up - I said ‘it’s OK, I’m walking to work’ and we negotiated on when he should turn up to look at our system. He wants to see it not working so we have to turn the booster off and wait for it to cool down again. The bit that irritated me was how he kept assuming I would be home every day he suggested as if me going to work today was some sort of aberration - what part of ’I work’ could he not hear?
• Thinkgeek are selling green-red lasers pointers - I want one for playtime (because... LASER POINTER) and possibly for night rogaining. I can see being able to point at things a long way away to your team being really useful, I wonder if this breaks the spirit of rogaining.

Yay! *sigh*
