A few updates:

About 6 weeks back I managed to strain the muscle connecting my right scapula to the spine (Rhomboid). A rather painful exercise that has severly hampered most physical activity. The shoulder joint being one of the most complicated joints in the body is highly susceptible to injury and when injured creates a lot of problems. Right now I’ve been unable to ride for long, go do any rifle shooting and gym has also been very haphazard. I’ve been doing about 40 minutes of rehabilitation work on my shoulder almost every day and it’s slowly improving to the level where I can do a bit of gym and some riding without being crippled by pain.

This previous Saturday I went to draw some money out of my credit account. That didn’t go too well as the ATM decided it was hungry and my credit card was the most available sustenance. The only thing I did wrong was to type my PIN incorrectly just once. No grace apparently. So now I have to wait in a nice queue to go collect my new card, whenever its ready that is.

That server I blogged about a few weeks back, well as it turns out I wasn’t entirely correct about its intended purpose. It’s now gloriously serving as a dust collector. Yep, there’s been absolutely no movement on that project, and virtually nothing regarding the other 2 servers.

My job scope is expanding even more as I pick up an increasingly larger number of responsibilities in order to manage to our various application services. I’ve even been shanghaid into some development work, something I’m happy to do, but unfortunately I’m in the wrong department to be doing it as it’s not part of my job function, so I don’t get paid for it.
