Buzzword Bingo
Working for a large mega-corp has its advantages from time to time but last week was like being in motivational video nightmare. One of the projects I've been on had a bit of a reputaion for 'going off the rails' so a WorkOut(tm) was organised to deal with it. Cue 8 people from various parts of said mega-corp (4 from the development side, 4 from ( Read more... ) -
Five working days down...
Ten till I'm back on holiday again :) Actually this week hasn't been to bad workwise and although stuff is coming down the pipe which will require some weekend working later on in the year, if I plan now then I should be able to avoid working seven day weeks for two months straight ( Read more... ) -
Back to work on Monday...
After two weeks of not even remotely thinking about work it's back to the grindstone on Monday. Fortunately I still remember my main password so I should at least be able to start wading through my inbox. Renewed my train pass today (and it had gone up but only by the princley sum of £1 for a month) which is quite organised for me as well ( Read more... ) -
Erase / Rewind
And it's out with the old and in with the new - thank god. If I had to rate 2006 out of 10 it would get a 3 - which is mighty generous. Cath managed to spend almost 12 months recovering from recovering from the mumps in January, I managed to spend almost half my life in the office and we never got anything else in the flat finished (the bathroom is ( Read more... ) -
Normality - that's what I want
And that's what I'm going to get! After working weird hours since June it's all come to an end and, as of tomorrow morning, I'll be back doing normal hours. I was meant to be working 8pm to 8am shifts this week but got thankfully stood down last night or I'd have been sending this from the office.
I'm looking forward to the weekend - both niallsdiary and ( Read more... ) -
He's finally going...
So Schumacher has finally decided to call it a day. He's certainly shattered every record ever set in F1 and I expect most will never now be beaten but I cannot help but feel that he'll never really belong alongside the true greats such as Senna, Prost etc because ( Read more... ) -
Back in the land of not-Infest
I am so glad I had yesterday off as I was a broken shell of a man. Being almost 32 and staying up till 4am all three nights at Infest, followed by a very long drive back up to Edinburgh, pretty much did me in. However, that's not to say that the weekend itself wasn't enjoyable as I had a fantastic time down in Bradford.

Cath is coming home...
Cath is finally coming home, which is a good thing (an excellent thing in fact.) SMS'd the upstairs landlady and it turned out that the tenants had already moved out (which does kinda explain why upstairs had been so quiet for the past couple of weeks.) Also, whilst not wishing to tempt the gods, Cath is starting to slowly improve so being down in ( Read more... ) -
Dark City 2006 madness
Well - that's Dark City over for another year and I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed myself. James, Julia and Jonathan managed to pull off another top three nights and they didn't even look that stressed by the end of it (either that or they were hiding it well ( Read more... ) -
Just push Fast Forward...
Well, it's been a while, a very long while. On the one hand I cannot believe it's April as this year appears to be whizzing past at a rate even I can't comprehend. On the other hand, the year's been so crammed full of stuff (a lot of which has been work related) I'm amazed I managed to get it all done ( Read more... )
