A quick far-too-early update before I head for the train. Not enough hours in the day whine etc.
Last week was P Moseley’s birthday, hurray. We went to see Sin City. We were uniformly blown away – certainly one of the most enjoyable films I have ever seen. EVAR. Friday night was out for fizzy with some pals. Was pretty disappointed by Relish, if not by the food then by the dining atmosphere. The quality of the harsh overhead lighting was such that you felt you were eating your gourmet cow sandwich while on the operating table. The fact that the staff wear surgical masks and green gowns doesn’t help either. Getting really drunk seemed to help though.
Ryan came through Saturday night which was nice. Thistle St Bar for barstaff banter and soon met by Stu/Drummond, CJ/Spunky/Bridget/Kirsty, Dunc/Colin/Murph and Dan/Romina, which was certainly a promising impromptu gathering. A fairly drunken one back to mine til all hours, producing two new additions to the Ug File from myself and Ree.
This week has been an unexpected bonus – my team has been sent for training using a software package. For a consultant this is pretty unheard of: they’re paying me to not do any work and learn new stuff, on a course that they’re also paying for. Especially since they’ve hired a Hilton business room for the week, which means coffee, cakes, strawberries, cherries etc. delivered every couple of hours. Unbelievable.
What else… finally succeeded in ripping videos and music streams from sites where you’re not meant to (including BBC), excellent fun. Details in next post. Oh and I gave in and ordered an engraved iPod, ah well.
