26 years and one day

So, thanks everybody for the birthday messages.

Yes I turned 26 yesterday. It was quite a normal day really. I got on with some OU assignenments as soon as I'd had breakfast, and I got a call from my Mum which was nice, although she thought I was sounding low. I guess that was because I was still recovering from my cold. But all's better now.

Went to our project office around 2 and managed to complete Epe zone of Units Problems which means that I've now got all of Lagos East under control from that problem. N... managed to print reports for all 117 properties in the Ikeja 1 zone so that they would be found tuesday.

After work I went home to find we were having fish for dinner. and not just any fish, some kind of giant monster fish Dad and mike bought on the beach. They had to cut it in half to fit it in the cool box. Well I didn't fancy celebrating with that so I went out with Timi and N... to Pats Bar. I had half a bottle of wine behind the counter from a few days ago so I was keen to go and drink that before it went to vinegar. I decided to go for Chicken and Mushroom Pie with Chips and gravy. Very nice but I did feel bloated after.

The evening sort of carried on from there and we had quite a fun time, but I didn't get Totally blotto because I need to work on my OU assignment in the morning.

So Today, Tuesday, I got up fairly late and managed to complete the 4th part of my assignment, and now only the last question remains and I think I should be able to achieve that over the next two days, leaving me friday to polish up.

Around 3 I went over to the project office and got half of Ikeja 1 complete. N... started work on the Ikeja 2 forms but when Kehinde, one of our data entry staff showed up she soon roped her in to helping out. So all 220 odd Ikeja 2 zone problem reports were printed so that somebody can go and find the paper forms tomorrow so that I can make the corrections.

On the way back from the office we passed through Adeola Odeku street and were amazed to see that the street lights were on! I was planning to take a picture but I think it'll be more amazing to take a picture of them working tomorrow. Adeola Odeku is the main street of victoria Island where we live, it's where our old office used to be in 2002 days. The road has been completely relaid as a dual carriageway since 2003 and today they got the lights working. We are guessing somebody 'Big' is coming down to see it soon so I was wondering if we should picket the end of our street which is off Adeola Odeku street and is perhaps the worst road surface on Victoria Island. My picket sign would say. "try and drive down this one at 50Kph!" cos if you did you'd kill your cars shocks in 100m and your teeth would fall out in 200m.

I finished the Ikeja 1 forms this evening, which means we now have only 465 problems remaining. nearly half of those are ikeja 2 so I know it won't take long now.
