Where'd that come from

[sobrique]

OK, own up. Who gave me the lurgy? I've got a really rather inconvenient sore throat at the moment.
Oh well, at least it's friday. I like friday. Or I would, if I wasn't working tomorrow.

It's really lovely. "Oh yeah, we don't mind there being an outage, we're off to the lake district with the family, to sit by a lake and drink beer. So of course, feel free to do as much work as you can, whilst we're away, socialising, and ... well having a life".

This one's a backup server upgrade. It's overdue really, but... well it's a 12 hour + job, and no one likes working that long on a saturday or sunday.

We're starting at 8, in a somewhat vague hope that we'll finish by the time our regular backups start. 's not likely, but we can hope. You never know, this _might_ just be a breeze. I mean, statistially it's got to be possible right?

So anyhow, I suspect that means any plans I might have had for friday are wiped out. And quite possibly for saturday too.

I shall probably be going to sainsburies on sunday morning for breakfast. Woo. What an exciting weekend. Never mind, it's SINergy weekend next, which'll be good. Probably.

Never mind, 12 hours 'system maintenance time' (We don't get overtime, but we do get a special dispensation for stuff that has to be done out of hours) is going to help the ailing pay packet next month.

I believe that Paul H and Dave were the last to be suffering from the random lurg, but given its ability to lie low for a while you could have caught it from anywhere, including work.

I had a sore throat earlier this week, I guess the common denominator would be mrph's house on monday evening. My sore throat passed within a day and never attempted to anything so I guess that only being there for half an hour was enough to catch a small measure.

Well, to honest its probably me with the lurgy. Had a slight temperature late last week and a sore throat / cough ever since, though the throat thingy has been beaten away by the beer last night.
