ghosts

its been a long week and i am still tired all the time. the week didnt get off to the best of starts after i made a change on a database cluster and it ended up crashing over night. when i got to work on tueday morning it was just a barrage of mails. i got onto the server and fixed the problem and then let everyone know it was my screw up. everyone was fine with me and it wasnt a live production server so it was not too bad. i got an email from the head of trading development, who's server it was and he said everything was ok and appreciated me being honest and fixing it. 


after that happened i just tried to keep a low profile for the rest of the week and do my own work and not try and fix other stuff that is not directly part of my project. the rest of the week was fine after that. had to work late on friday night till 11 and had another saturday at work yesterday. only 3 more weekends to go and that should be us done. actually, that will be me done as well, as my contract finises in mid december.


i had a telephone interview for a job at another hedge fund on thursday and they want to call me in for a face to face on tuesday. i still have not officially been given a new contract by the firm i am currently at so i can only assume i wont be there next year. will be good to know i have a contract to come back to after i get back from cali and to know i will be earning, where ever it may be. 


we didnt have football on thursday and i didnt get to go to the gym after work last week either. too much work and too tired when i get home. i am gasping for a holiday. am on my knees. not long to go now. please let it be nice weather in cali. have already started to put a good playlist together for the hours i will be behind the wheel. 


today i have mostly been listening to laura marling - ghosts.
