More Crap

In work today (only got to do this for 6 more times!) and it seems my never ending hell of testing still hasn't come to an end as I'm stuck doing much of the same yet again for the majority of the morning.

With that in mind then I make a concious effort to take my hour's lunch break and head off into town to pick up some things that I need - primarily a get well card for my friend who was taken so drastically ill yesterday and some packing and parcelling stuff to send a box of stuff overseas.

Since I don't take my lunch break till 1.30pm I don't have to get back to the office to 2.30pm, which is good because it means I've much less time to spend there in the afternoon. Having said that I am given some work for which I was originally employed to do in the PM, but it's a right PITA to be honest and takes me forever to complete. However, I get there in the end and put it live. No doubt that will be nit picked over as well.

I also learn today that they have taken my friend off sedation and when they did that he managed to open his eyes briefly and twitch a little. They also now know that he suffered from Multiple strokes, the cause of which is unknow at present.

When I get home from work I then spend a good deal of the evening on the phone to various people - a friend in belgium who's just recovering from surgery, and then a friend here in the UK who is quite close to my sick buddy who suffered the strokes. It appears that my ill friend had a bad ski accident a few weeks ago, and the night before he fell ill he was at karate lessons. I don't know if either of those are related to his current predicament, but I can only assume "possibly". The hospital have also prohibited visits from friends for the time being so I won't be going to see him on Saturday.

It's going to be a long waiting game I guess.
