Damn Trains!

Argh I hate trains ...

Today, they were okay thankfully .. cos I fell asleep and woke up at Thornleigh, yet didn't realise it till the announced next stop was Normanhurst .. cos I was groggy, it didn't register that i'd missed my stop and i had to stop and think if normanhurst was before or after my stop .. then realised it was after, and tried to run off the train but the doors shut :o/ Was okay though, cos I changed platforms and the train in the opposite direction came - so i was only about 10-15 mins later than I thought i'd be ..

but y'day .. cos of the ashfield power failure, trains were delayed .. I arrived at Wynyard and I think I just missed a train as the train had disappeared off the screen and there weren't heaps of ppl around (quite a few but not heaps) ... Anyhoos, a train didn't come for another hour! Bumped into Matt and Geoff (a fellow grad) which was good as they kept me company at the station ... The announcements got worse and worse ... the lady sounded like she was saying the trains were stopped at doubletown (we were like wtf?) and then her voice became mumbled when it came to announcing where the trains were for our line and when they'll be arriving (whilst for the other platforms her voice was clear!) ...

A train did come after an hour of waiting but it was too packed for me to get on .. another one came 20 mins later which wasn't that packed and I managed to catch that .. Only made 15 mins of my first frisbee game that night ... I thought i'd miss it all together cos of the trains, and was going to catch a train to epping instead (to get to marsfield for my 2nd game) but thankfully the train to SL came as the train to Epping was apparently cancelled .. Phil missed it and ended up coming to SL, whilst Suj (who Phil was to give a lift to) somehow ended up at Parramatta thinking it was going to epping :p

When I arrived at my first game, 2 ppl on my team were yelling at each other .. not cool! :o/ I hate when ppl take a game too seriously like that .. We were getting slaughtered and lost but oh well .. I scored 1 point (my 2nd point on) off a hammer (hit my jaw but still managed to catch it :p) and did a d in the last point, except my teammate then threw me a hammer in the endzone again and i missed it so we didn't get that point in the end :o/

Second game was better ... Our team's pretty cool, we have a few experienced players and the rest have all played before but not at this level .. So we have the talent, but we just need the experience now :p I scored 1 point at the end, caught it on my leg :p Thought I'd drop it, but managed to get it in the end :p I scored another point during the game, but i didn't realise i was in the endzone so threw it to Ian who I thought was just in the endzone (but it turns out he was just out of the endzone as I was looking at the wrong markers :p) ... oh well, Ian ended up scoring the point later anyways - but i could have ended that point sooner!

The problem is .. today I got an email from the league commissioner saying that one of the guys on my team doesn't seem to have paid .. yet he played, which means we possibly have to forfeit that game .. that's not cool, esp seeing as we fought hard to win! :o( *sigh*

Work's going okay, but I can't do much of my testing atm as all the rest of my test cases rely on this one system which has been down for the past 2 days :o/ So I'm doing the test cases which the new grad's meant to be doing (he's away this week) and it's sooo boring .. so tedious, and repetitive .. i'm soo bored and finding it hard to motivate myself :o/

None of my horses won today .. think my mum and dad's did so that's good :p Ah, I haven't had much luck in picking horses in a few years .. oh well, not that big a deal :p Maybe next year :p

Bedtime now ... nighty night :o)
