There’s no rest for the wicked, really. I wasn’t feeling well at all in the office yesterday and so decided to take a sick day today. But won’t you know it, the shit decided to hit the fan today too. So in a drug-induced haze I was woken up by urgent phone calls to attend to the emergency.

There is a down side to being able to work from anywhere, and this is it. You can’t even be sick in peace. There’s an emergency, you’ve got the Internet, you work. And that’s that. Even if you are stewing in your germ infested room.

After an hour and a half of dealing with the problem and sending out apologetic emails to important clients, I headed into the office to discuss with the boss the issues surrounding what happened. Just as I was about to leave home again, one of our servers hosted in a data centre lost its connectivity. Shite. The Internet is no use if you can’t connect to it.

So I headed into town begrudgingly. But turned out, it was a welcome relief. Once I finished what I had to do with the server, I decided to stay back to have some lunch and people watch. You already know that I’m tempted to go work in Singapore. On a similar degree, I’m also tempted to go work in the city again. If only this job wasn’t so damn interesting – it’s got a hold on me. And truth be told, I like being in my little fiefdom which comes from working in a smaller company. Hmm, time will tell if I will hop into bigger ponds.

And oh yes, I took some pictures.
