Email with TLJ:

T: is it possible for you to get your hands on some user manuals for me.

S: Yes, but which ones – just SA ones or MS ones or something like that.

T: cause we’re working on end user documentation design and it’d be really good to have some examples from an outstanding company with really good management such as yours.

S: Cheeky!! How about an Expert Advisor User Guide?

T: please babe, could i borrow some??????

S: Anything for you sweety

T: i’ve actually got this SA one here (sorry, but i couldn’t resist nicking it).

S: Which one?

T: Josh says hi!

S: Was he watching – HI JOSH!!

T: i had all this CSC stuff that was supposed to be really useful for SDD, but i think it got thrown out

S: DUH!!

T: i left it somewhere – and now i’m really upset, cause they were all memories of you

S: Ahhh, sweety.

T: no, actually, i just wanted to keep it for further reference. They were all really quite useful – so i was pretty crappy about it.

S: How is your day? I’m fed up with this place. Management – you know…

T: anyway, can you please help??? thanks babe, tlj

S: Sure sweetheart.

T: any manual, thanks – a few examples would be great.

S: See what I can do for you babe

T: Preferably one that is set out well and easy to understand (not some teccho manual that you read before you go to bed).

S: Hmmmm….

T: I have the Expert Advisor Level 2 User training course (it’s actually not a manual, but a course in powerpoint).

S: A manual is a bit different. I’ll bring them – you’ll see. You know anyway I’m sure. Smartypants

T: so please just get anything you can lay your hands on.

S: Can I lay my hands on you?

T: you are so predictable – i didn’t have to read this line to know what was there – i should have known.

S: I got three manuals for ya. And last week’s South Park (not this week’s yet) which only had one episode (and a repeat).
Come cheer me up. When do you want these manuals?
Tonight?

S: I think I’m getting fatter again!
“People who live in glass houses
Should not throw their spouses!”
Please forgive me for being a miserable bastard this weekend. Let’s go do something (cheap) one night this week. Even just meet somewhere and go somewhere nice – just look at something – maybe the beach at Manly or something like that. What do you think?
Have a fantastic day and hope all is well with the study.

T: i forgot the library book that’s due in today. it’s a three-day loan, so the fine is $5 a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i’m not coming in tomorrow. i was thinking of going home and coming back to return it, then maybe seeing you tonight. are you going to physio and massage???

S: Just physio – you can meet me there or I’ll meet you at home. Would love to see you OK? Watch the rest of the Maxx (and leave at least an hour before taking you home!!)

T: anyway, got the outline done but i think it’s all wrong. had to come in just to hand it in, but waiting around to see di, sue and tu, cause i think they’re in today.

S: I hope you catch up with them – I love the way you love your friends

T: think di had a great time at mso ball (everyone knew everyone – you know how it is).

S: Young Asian girls make friends everywhere?

T: hopefully, josh, mel and I can meet for SDD

S: Get any nasty emails?

T: cause i want to leave some free days to go out with laura, mich, and jo, and you of course.

S: You’re a sweety.

T: anyway, mail me with what you’re doing. love ya babe, tlj

S: I did that didn’t I. I watched a little bit of Red Sorghum last night but fell dead asleep after about ten minutes. Love ya 2 BABE!

Email with TLJ:

T: to that blond chick? (nearly wrote chink by mistake) don’t find too many blond chinks around (well, not natural at least – they’re all bottle blonds) except they’re never blond – their hair turns out grey!!!!!!

S: I guess to the blond. Talking of grey – mine is on the way back – will have to sort that out next payday i think.

T: i was just speaking to my bro the other day, and i said i’d like the wedding cake made of profiteroles

S: When did you decide to marry your brother? Isn’t that illegal?

T: (you know and drizzled with toffee – croquembouche – sp???? or something like that) cause fruit cake and 5cm
thick icing’s not really my thing.

S: Good fruit cake with icing is great. I hate profiteroles – like eating chocolate snot.

T: but really rich chocolate would be nice too. i saw this thing on weddings in vogue, and there was this beautiful wedding cake coated in a thin layer of 24-carat gold!!! no shit!

S: Can you eat it?

T: have you heard of sweet art? make all these fancy-arse cakes. tried to show kath in the car one day when we were driving past – it’s in Paddington. pretty cool to look at – but all a bit tacky really.
anyway babe, really hungry, got to go to tute, see ya later, tlj

S: It’s no suprise yr hungry – you probably haven’t eaten for twenty minutes.

T: ps – i still havent’ finished IS&OD outline though i wish i had, because now i just have to come in in my hols to hand it in – sob – cheer me up babe!

Pull yr socks up baby!

I hope yr feeling better today. My ulcer is getting worse – more red and painful. I hope yrs are improving. HJ is such a cutey sweetheart – he looks georgeous, half asleep and pondering. Bronwyn and I were talking to him about the vegetables he likes to eat and he just had this cute smile on his face as he was remembering the taste of those nice vegies!! Please stay calm today – don’t stress too much. Will you have time to see me tonight? Maybe not – with yr ass. due on Friday hey. But i hope i get to see you. Would you do me the honour of escorting me on a trip to Lane Cove National Park on Sunday for a boat ride – canoeing or whatever? Will occupy as little of your time as you wish or as much as you can afford. Did I tell you how beautiful you are?

Email with TLJ:

T: just got an email from mel – her ex was organising her b’day party for sat – but not sure cause it’s in wollongong!

S: You know that my affection extends to lifts to Wollongong -I’ll even come back and pick you up. Weren’t you going out with michelle?

T: anyway, just had the most rushed period i’ve had in a while – trying to finish ddb by 11 – it was late – then i had another frantic period trying to figure out whether or not he’d collected the assignments or not. – and made the biggest fool of myself.

S: How so?

T: anyway, got to see if i have to do more work for sdd and marketing and IS&OD.

S: Mail me soon

T: see ya tlj

S: I just looked in some mag that had Jenny Shimuzu interview and pics. She says she doesn’t own a dress and is still a tomboy. There are a few pics of her topless and you’d be surprised how much you look like her in EVERY way!!
Dreaming of you sweetheart

I’m getting thinner! Either that or my pants are getting bigger! Go to the podiatrist today to get my inserts – yay! Can’t wait – hope they fix up all my problems.

How did you go last night – are you awake? Missing you sweety. We got lots of movies to watch. The Maxx, Roadkill, Ghost in the Shell. Eraserhead is the cult movie on Saturday. It’s pretty weird. What are you doing on Friday night? Is it Saturday night you are going out? Let me know.

Love you

S: Hey! How you feeling today. I feel OK so far though I stayed up after talking to you and got on the net for a while – you inspired me babe. Ray’s not in today and Carl’s on holiday so I’m on my lonesome! No one talks to me anyway! I got an email from Rob in the UK – the first he’s ever sent – he’s finally caught up with the computer revolution! Good luck with all your study today. Kisses to your ulcers – make em go away.

T: good luck today baby, worried about database
love you sweety

S: You no worry – you smart cookie.
Thank you for the luck. You too.
“Loving you is easy cos you’re beautiful”

T: i’m working on sm. come cheer me up babe.

S: Are you still down sweety? We need to go out and climb some trees. When you have a spare minute one night this week – we’ll go and find us some trees in a park somewhere OK?
Pretty busy here – it’s typical that when everyone is off that everything goes wrong! didn’t you do SM LAST semester?
Here is Shauny full of cheer
He’s come to cheer you up
Grab yourself another beer
And wish your sweethearts Good Luck!

T: just figured out there’s more stuff to do in ddb, so i’m a bit shitty and stressed out,

S: Sorry sweety. Just stay calm, take deep breaths etc etc.

T: and i’ve been waiting for you to come and pick me up from here.

S: What time? Did I promise you something while I was talking to you when I was sleepy last night – or you just ribbing me? But I’ll come pick you up right now if you wanna!!!???

T: i’ve still got a fair bit of stuff to do

S: Can’t pick you up then can I?

T: spoke to notlih before who asked me what holly’s name was – i only knew her name from what you told me – but i put him out of his misery anyway.

S: You shouldn’t have done that. Damn yr too nice. I love you.

S: The Chinese believed that amber was made when tigers died and they became buried in the ground.
I knew a girl called Amber. She had bright orange hair. She was cute. But not as cute as you.

T: wow, how weird – i know (how weirder still – wow, how, and know all end in “ow”!!!!!!) a girl called AMBER SPARKS and her hair is bright orange too!!!!!!!!!!!!! and she’s from Queensland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
baby, how can i open a powerepoint95 presentation in powerpoint4????? is there anyway of opening it as a 97 document, then saving it as a v4 one???????? it’s a far shot, but otherwise, we’re screwed!!!!!!!
can you solve this one mr senior technical support analyst?????
thanks baaaaaaaaaaaaab-beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, tlj

S: LTL (Chinese name)
You’re screwed! I don’t think you can convert to PP4. You may be able to cut each slide and paste into Word. Save the Word Document then go to the PP4 machine open the Word Doc and paste from Word into PP4. Don’t know how well that would work though. Can you get to a PP95/97 machine and save as PP4? You can definitely save as PP4 – but run through the slide show to make sure it works before you do your presentation!!!!
Did the fact that she’s from Queensland deserve all those exclamation marks?
I miss you muchly – I mean real bad.

T: well, i’m glad to see you’re on your feet and at work. yes, we do have powerpoint 97 at the computing sciences building, but these are just the handouts i want to print out, and i’ve got to print 45 copies, but we’ve got a quota of only 50 pages per semester there – how scummy this uni is after all those fees we pay – including a $55 accommodation levy!!!! every student pays, including the people staying at uni accommodation – who also pay rent – so you can imagine how much profit uts makes there!!!!!
So i’m not as screwed as you think i am – the machine we’re using today should have powerpoint 95 – we did specify what version we were using. just need to get the handouts somehow. anyway, probably won’t go to the lecture – or not all of it – going to study mktg instead (didn’t get enough done last night).
anyway, mail just came in from you – i’ll check it now. love ya babe,

Had a fairly relaxing and inexpensive lunchtime. I walked to the library and read some more of my book. Found a couple of others there that look interesting when I finish reading everything else. I wish there was a comic book library. Spent 1 dollar on two onion bhajis. Got an apple and a banana for the rest of my lunch. Can’t wait to get out of here. My neck is killing me!
Hope yr day is going good. Think positive baby
