Checked out of the hotel just before. There was a cop checked in cos I saw a surprised valet guy get out of the drivers seat of the cop car he had obviously just parked out front of the hotel.

I can’t believe the internet price though, .68c a minute. They were using getin2net as their provider. The address was get.in2.net but I guess thats just the DNS of their internal proxy server. It had an accept page that you had to go through before it would give you access and it gave unique ID to my laptop. If only I knew the MAC address of the guy next door.

So I should leave hopefully at about 12:30 today and be back my 3 or so. Then I have to drive my bluebird up to Warkworth to drop it off to a guy who’s paying me $900 for it. Need to get a rego for it first.

Pritty shit how I can only get $900 for it though. Thought I could get at least $1500 but with a cracked windscreen and a whining front bearing in the gearbox. Dammit.

Oh well, one more (half) day of company paid meals.

So I’m in Hamiltron at the moment. Working at the SKYCITY down here. Company paid hotel, company paid my gas down here, company paid meals. So awesome. Staying at a nice hotel too, with broadband included in the room I hope. Then I can update my linux cos haven’t got broadband at home yet.

Though I have been informed I can get it now – supposedly the lines have been upgraded. But suddenly every broadband plan is a rip off! I am so sure they were cheaper before, it seems the unbundling has made things more expensive, though I think that was going to happen anyway – I think I remeber something about that.

Only dumb thing about being down here in Hamilton, I get to eat out every night, but I have no one to eat out with. Oh well. This is like a working holiday
