Picking up Anna
January 21st 2003 -
Picked Anna up from work
Anna wanted a lift back from the hotel where she’s still running her massage business, so I dropped in and picked her up on the way home. I stopped eight times to consult the map, made five wrong turnings, and spent about twenty minutes driving around back streets getting steadily more weirded out by my lack of direction sense. I know I’m not particularly good, but it’s at times like this that I realise just how bad I really am; the completely wrong combination of over-confidence, tentativeness, mistakes in map-reading and shockingly poor short-term memory combine in exactly the wrong way to ensure that this is probably the number one thing-that-I-am-crap-at-but-still-do-anyway. I got Anna to drive home, once I’d located the hotel.
Further work
I’ve organised to help Lachlan (the cameraman from “China Doll” who looks a great deal like Hugh Jackman) out with his corporate video stuff in mid-February – coincidentally, this is happening on the day after our deliverable is due, so there are no worries there. And most of our work team will be away in Japan getting instructions for the next phase of our project. This may well be the time to implement the game “Go” as an example of client-server interaction…
Blah blah work blah
So yeah, not much to talk about really…
