Discount is the word for today :P

Went to the "Clarion Canterbury" (which is not in Canterbury I might add) which is a hotel thingy for dinner. It was like a "fine dining" esque restaurant that would normally not be patronised heavily except for hotel guests (prices were around $25 for a main)... except... tonight it was almost full. They recently advertised on the back of shopping dockets at nearby supermarkets and the like. So it was full of people using these vouchers... I mean... EVERYONE was using them... lol.. I'm sure they still made money from it :) After dinner, it was off for a bit of shopping... at K-Mart... they had 15% off everything today and tomorrow. Once again, it was packed... there were people (mostly asians :P) loading up on all sorts of stuff. Hmm... ended up buying $60+ worth of stuff... :D What I was surprised was that my mum was the one that said.. lets buy lollies... muwhahahahah :D

Tomorrow is a day off (just means more work to do when I go back to work on Monday) and I'm off to smash a few golf balls with Chris. We're playing 9 holes at Morack at 11:15am. First time in a long time that I have had a holiday whilst everyone is at work :) Had another outage at work today... one of the people there (not really up with technology) asked me this morning... "was there an outrage again last night?" lol.. I had to smile at that.. cos its true :P They rebooted the server in the afternoon, because I'm sure they stuffed something up when they migrated it last evening. So yeah, everyone log out for 15 mins... surely that would be enough time. Knowing that it probably wasn't, some of us gathered in one of the areas and sat around eating chocolate (left over from Christmas) and chatting for about half an hour... went back.. server was still down. Got a call from the TSU manager about 15 mins later saying.. its all working... lol.. so about 50 mins downtime to reboot a server... sheesh! :P
