WebTrends – 4th February 1999

Email with TLJ:

S: Did you find out about the network setup of the servers today?

T: Yup, there is absolutely no connection between the internal and external servers – everything goes through a switch,

S: Do you know how this works? I don’t understand (cos I’m a dummy!). Diagram? Internal server=intranet? External=internet? Switch in-between?

S: I hope you are having a good afternoon and that the sun is shining in the windows somewhere.
” Take the sameness out of your days. Give each day a specific purpose. What do you want to accomplish at work that will bring you one day closer to your financial goals? How do you intend to keep yourself healthy? What fun things can you look forward to doing today? How can you make someone else’s day better than it might be?
For unsuccessful and unhappy people, there is often a boring sameness to their days. Is it Monday or Thursday? It doesn’t matter. Is it March or November? It doesn’t matter. Is it 3 o’clock in the afternoon or 10 o’clock in the morning? It doesn’t matter.
Everybody has the same amount of time each day. How are you going to spend your 24 hours today?”
Guo Nian!

T: Is this goodbye?

S: Celebrate the (New) Year!

T: was waiting for a call from the guy upstairs – need to show him some sample reports and go through what he wants, but he hasn’t called yet and I hope he doesn’t because I want to go home at 5, and I’d prefer to do it when I’m feeling a little less groggy.

S: Why you groggy? Hey – wanna go to Art Express after uni tomorrow?

T: I know you won’t get this til tomorrow anyway, but the news was filming in Martin Place today and I walked straight past the cameras without realising. I only realised when I saw the cameraman behind me. I think I was out of the shot anyway, cause I was walking along the left side of the path.
I was on TV when I was in 2nd grade (7) for this mini Olympics that our school held. Mike Willisee was hosting, and I was up-front carrying the banner for my team “Fantasia” – we were blue and gold. Then I was on TV because I had to pretend to be a reporter and interview this guy in my grade who had just won a race. His name was Dean and he was a really naughty boy. He had white hair and a husky, throaty voice and moles. Anyway, Aisan brought up the fact that she had the video the other night at the tour reunion video night, and I had fun reminiscing about it. We’ve got the
video somewhere, and I gotta say, I was cute in that video!!! I had long hair too.
Want to show you, but I don’t know where it is.

S: YES!!!! You have to show me – I wanna see you when you were cute!
Got in at 7.04 this morning – still no parking spot! Didn’t wanna get up this morning….
I’ll probably go to physio about 3.30 or 4.00 so I get out of there in a reasonable time – you wanna do something or wait til Thursday – or will you be out with your uni friends on Thursday?
Hope you are not feeling so groggy today baby.
Ciao-bella

Thank You – 3rd February 1999

Email with TLJ:

S: What’s up sweety? you sounded so sad
I could feel your bottom lip a-quiver
Have I done something real bad?
Maybe something I failed to deliver?
So this poem I will send
As a thank you for your effort
The time that you spent –
I will not forget it.

T: Tell me what it is with old guys called Shaun from the UK that go after L*** girls??????????????????????
N* was telling me about this guy at Pure Pop called Shaun from Scotland who’s 25 who was going after her at the nightclub on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S: Have you heard my Scottish accent?
L*** Girls are the best! But you are the tops!

Long email – 1st February 1999

Email with TLJ:

T: Thank you very much for the long email. I was getting very tired – I never have anything to do in the afternoon – especially Fridays.

S: And I think a trip to Kiama would be a nice fun day out and a trip up the mountains again – this time we’ll go a bit earlier though and on a sunny day.

T: Chris – the guy I work with – is going to this show in Kiama on the weekend – it’s supposed to be like a little royal easter show.
I keep listening to your voicemail and laughing – you sound pathetic. I think it’s the breathing that makes you sound so perverse – listen to it again.
Anyway, how come you didn’t ring me before you left. I was looking up things on the internet and getting very tired.

S: How was your party last night? Hope you had fun and got back in time for plenty of sleep – somehow I think you’ll still be tired this morning. I am damn tired too plus my left eye hurts!

T: Were the Cardiacs on the internet???? Hope you got to see them.

S: I couldn’t get through this morning. It was only audio too – not video. there’s been a few emails saying how great they were.
Thinking about going swimming at lunchtime – help motivate me!

T: Come see me for lunch instead!

S: I want to come down into the city one day this week – Brad in Melbourne wants me to pick up the last copies of that Miracleman book I found cheap just opposite Centrepoint.

T: I remember why I’m mad at you now – it’s because you called me a drama queen and you were really serious – and nobody’s called me that before and i hate drama queens. Please tell me you don’t mean it. Anyway, if i’m one then
you are one too cause you’re just as bad as me! And if you’re a drama queen, then i won’t like you cause you are one, and you’d be a hypocrite as well – and i don’t like them either. So you have to take the comment back or i can’t like you and you insulted me as well – so you have to apologise.

S: Are you mad at me? How long have you been mad at me? You’re not really a drama queen but you’ve got a great pout. If I have to apologise then I’m sorry. Are you still mad at me now?

T: Anyway, really hope to see you soon – and look, it’s nearly time for morning tea.

S: I look forward to seeing you too sweety.

T: Join me for morning tea.
PS – mail me a long email now.

S: Hmmm…this is all I gots time for just now – more later….
Did you have a good day yesterday? I wonder if you didn’t come round because you asked me what we would do and I said I didn’t know….anyway, I thought of something to do and then fell asleep and when I woke up and spoke to you, you weren’t coming – so we could do it some other time – nothing fantastic but would’ve been cool and fun. Anyway – Hayden was cute last night – I gave him a bath and read him his bedtime stories. He fell asleep instantly! Miss you babe – mail me soon!

T: I kinda miss you,

S: Is that good or bad? What are you doing today?

T: and I had this really weird dream where I was really slack to you (but you deserved it). Anyway, I woke up and thought that it was a good thing it was just a dream cause I’d never treat you like that in real life, would I?

S: ……..

T: Sorry I didn’t speak to you last night – was pretty tired and watched the end of the Scarlet Letter and went to bed. Anyhow, I’m really tired this morning. Saw Robert walking to work this morning. Spoke to him for a while.
Did you ring me at 6:50 last Friday? got a message but someone just hung up. Anyway, how late are you going to be tonight?

S: No I don’t think I rang and I wouldn’t hang up anyway. Not sure what time I’ll be – why?

T: How’s Hayden and Bronwyn? Hope they had fun. Anyway, probably won’t see you next weekend but I’ll try.

S: Did you get the last email I sent (this morning)? Hope you have fun
