Jeremy Jung

I came to work this morning at my usual early time. A contractor from Gen-i was in the building looking for a PC to use. Given the temporary status of our building there was not too many spare for this unannounced visitor.

When he motioned to to Jeremy's PC as being a potential spare I advised in casually that this was Jeremy's PC and that he must be running late this morning and to expect him in. Some hours passed and Jeremy still had not arrived at work.

My Manager Aaron Gissing is away on holiday in Fiji with one of the experienced Gen-i contractors Llyod left to hold the fort. He came around and asked everyone in client services to come to the board room. There he made the announcement that Jeremy had had a heart attack and had passed away.

Jeremy was only 24 and this had come as an awful shock. With both of us being new at the bank (at least new in Auckland for Jeremy) I had not got a chance to get to know him a great deal. Of the few lunches we had and conversations spoken, Jeremy was a lively character who was a great asset to the team. He was a bit of a joker but I loved his jokes.

Additional Information: Gen-i was formed four years ago when Telecom Advanced Solutions (TAS), Gen-i and Computerland joined forces under the Gen-i brand. Today, the company has 2,000 staff across 17 locations, revenues in excess of $1.6 billion and a client list that spans 3,300 public and private sector organisations on both sides of the Tasman. -gen-i.co.nz

Week Two Begins

No major updates today in my life. During the day I sent and email to Dolly at Zeacom asking how things were going.

I went to the Knuckle Sandwich for lunch. I wouldn't recommend the combination of toppings I chose today to others, nor will I pick it in the future. The exact fillings I chose are confidential, but rest assured that I will be more careful in what I pick in my sandwiches next time!

After work, when walking to my car I saw Jolene and we had a quick chat. She was in a hurry as she had a number of deliveries to make.

I wrote an article on how to disable and enable User Access Control within Windows Vista. This was fueled by the fact that a colleague at work (Jeremy Jung) mentioned how annoying the UAC dialog boxes were on his home laptop.

I have received two emails (one from Nigel, and one from Anisha) regarding "The Good Wife's Guide - Housekeeping Monthly (May 1955)". I transcribed the associated document and placed it onto EinkeY and Pickled Hamster's SuperFun Blog.

The document claims to be a monthly housekeeping magazine for housewives. It talks about how a wife should treat her husband when he arrives home after work. There is a lot of speculation that it is actually a fake/hoax in numerous places on the Internet.

Additional Information: The sandwich is said to have originated over two thousand years ago with various combinations of meats and cheeses placed on bread or in pastry. This concoction didn’t get its name until 1762 when the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, a British statesman, got hungry during a marathon poker game. - www.chefs.com
