I finally have a new LJ pic. 😉 I also have 1.5GB of RAM now, the 10 CDs I ordered from the US arrived, and I’m just generally happy. 🙂

Although I didn’t go out last night. 🙁

Hurrah for credit cards and short hair. 🙂

Heehee. I’m preparing myself for working at Apple, so I’m buying some geek-ware. 😉 I’m going to get the black Ars Technica t-shirt at the top of this page, along with two Ars shot glasses. Then I’m going to check out ThinkGeek’s range, and depending on the shipping costs, snag a couple of t-shirts. 😀

I’m considering growing a beard. And getting a labret piercing, depending on what Apple’s policies towards that sort of thing are.

The new job is going well. 😀 We’re doing a two-week training course first. We’ve got our spiffy Apple security cards now. 🙂 (Just so we can get in and out of various places, like the cafeteria). Naturally, the photo is appalling. 😉 And I’m picking up credit card up on Saturday, and getting my engine immobiliser etc. Saturday next week.

Woo!

I’ve finally gotten around to getting myself a CD burner. 🙂 I’ve bought an LG GCC-4480B internal combo drive and it works a treat. I’ve downloaded and installed build 7B80 of Panther, and it’s very spiffy. 🙂

I got a call from St George this afternoon, saying my credit card application was successful. 😀 They just need to make it, send it to the Dee Why branch, and I’ll go down and collect it. 🙂

And lastly, my last day at Maccas is this Friday…I start at Apple on Monday! 😀 I’m doing tech support…and earning $4.20/hour more than I’m getting at Maccas. 😀

😀 😀 😀

Last was pretty fun. Going out again tonight. 🙂 I’m driving this time though…don’t really feel like drinking. 😉

Well, last night was entirely uneventful. A few friends were going into the city, but I couldn’t be bothered.

Tonight we’re heading over to a friend’s house for drinks. 🙂

Woo, long weekend! We’re meant to be having a LAN party, but I don’t know if it’s actually going to happen…we haven’t even organised whose house it’ll be at yet.

And come Monday week after next, I’m no longer going to be working at Maccas…I’ll be at Apple instead. 😀 I’m going to be doing tech support. And the $18/hour is rather tasty too. 😉 (As opposed to the $13.80 I’m getting at the moment. (Note to Americans: That’s in AU$, before you make any comments. ;P)).

I’m going to move my plans for getting an engine immobiliser/remote keyless entry/central locking up a bit now…some motherfucker broke into my sister’s Charade last night. Fortunately there’s nothing worth stealing in there, but still. ;( They got in by bending the top of the driver’s side door back (!) far enough so they could unlock the door. I seriously doubt you could do that with my Corolla, as the doors are much more solidly built, but better safe than sorry. Fuckers.

My car is all nice and sparkling clean now, windows cleaned, floor vacuumed. 🙂 The rain we’ve had recently has been really dirty…there was this layer of red dust and muck on the car, which gets turned to mud even when the rain is clean. And when it’s dirty…ick.

On Friday night we went over to my friend’s house for an Xbox night. Unfortunately, the other people that usually come to such events were elsewhere, so there were only 4 of us. And one left at about midnight. As it turns out, we didn’t get much Xbox’ing done anyway…it was more sitting around drinking and talking. 🙂 Multiplayer MechAssault is quite fun, and I’m looking forward to playing it online when Xbox Live launches over here next month.

We spent Saturday afternoon and part of the evening playing Super Smash Brothers Melée. I actually bought the game a while ago, but sold it because I didn’t like it. Once I got the hang of it, though, it’s really quite fun. (It also helps when you have 4 friends handy to play against, rather than just playing single player).

And Saturday night was entirely uneventful…I was too tired to do anything. Some of my friends went to see either Tomb Raider II or Pirates Of The Carribean…I don’t know which they ended up with.
