What's the difference between cheese and a lorry?

A letter apparently, according to kid after writing about a lorry when it was actually cheese the person was talking
about in her French Aural. She appears to be happy with it and biology went okay. We are down to 3 exams! Time
flies. She has art theory and history and the dreaded chemistry and then that's it?! All over. For ever. If you listen
closely, you may hear a cheer all the way from Smithfield next week, on Tuesday June 19th to be exact :) Its been
a bit busy here with the day job and the other job. The website that's due to go live on Friday is getting there but
there's a lot of work in it. Nearly finished the coding side of things, need to work through my bug listing. Never again
do I want to work this close to a deadline. Apparently though they think I'm fab. I am shattered. Worked late last night, Mammy2 helped out with images and was up early this morning to do more work before work. Work, work, work. Its like the dwarves sang, Hi Ho :)

Mammy2 was talking to her mammy yesterday explaining that as soon I was finished this project I would help them
purchase a PC. I get a txt from the sister in law asking if I could help out with her PC. Never mind the fact that the brother in law's PC is sitting waiting for me to re-install XP Pro. They installed the OS on top of ME and of course the PC didn't like it.`Its now ignoring the sound card and generally being a nusiance. I reckon by the time Mammy2's parents get a PC, I'll need a switch board to deal with all the technical queries I get from Mammy2's family. Although with her parents, they trust me to order the pc, install whatever anti virus software is needed and hopefully I won't have the issues I had with the other 2. I was supposed to be cooking mash but the kid said she was sick. From eating loads of corn beef no doubt. I didn't mind too much, I had to get straight into work.

I had my review yesterday and I was chuffed. They are really happy with me and my work. A decent rise and a bonus. Happy out. Lots of work in the pipeline as well, so I am hoping that the other work calms down after this project. I can't believe there's big media launch on Friday! I hope it all goes okay as I won't be available. I have to attend a work related conference in Louth all day Thursday and a half day Friday. It should be fun as we have to stay over and there's a meal. Team related activities on the Friday then. The kid got called for an interview for a portfolio course in Dundrum. Apparently, and I quote her "Dundrum is shite!" Considering she's had no other callbacks, she's going to the interview. I explained to her that she has to keep her options open. She's meeting up with the boyf
for a while tonight as she has no exam today. He's buying a kitten and she's delighted. Mammy2 pointed out that he'll have a zoo full of animals and then chances are she'll finish up with him and he'll be left with menegarie of rabbits and kittens. Guys will do anything for her. The twit S was in touch with her asking could he walk her from her bus home one evening. She explained that she lived 5 minutes from the bus stop. I'd love to meet this fella and give him a piece of my mind. I might until I learn a few more techniques in training and then buy stilts so I can appear threatening :)
