My manager pulled some strings and I just found out that I'm going to be able to stay on where I am and just work remotely/from home. Even better, I'll be getting paid out of the London office and and get all of the benefits that the UK employees get. Most dear to my heart? 25 vacation days plus 8 paid bank holidays.

Thanks Sonya. =) Sorry we didn't get a chance to catch up more on the BART - Alva was dead tired and I didn't want to shout over the ambient noise. We were hoping to walk with you a bit once we got out, but were cluelessly forgetting that you might catch a bus. I feel bad if we seemed aloof. =/

yeah you punks. :b

i did make my bus though, so that was good. was afraid i'd missed it, thus the sprinting like an idiot.

anyway. i lived in cambridge in the summer of '05. graduated actually that summer. my advice is to go walk around the different colleges there, they're beautiful, and to try punting--and bring a bottle of wine for the punt ride :)

sainsbury's is your friend. 'cheap' groceries. also marks and spencer's was pretty good, too.

p.s. cambridge is 45 min on the train from london!
p.p.s. someday i need to get back to the UK to see some castles and to see stonehenge... i'll look you guys up maybe and you can buy me some drinks.

Sounds like a plan. =)

I've heard Cambridge is reasonably charming, although I think we tend to prefer being 'in' the city. Even living in Berkeley, admittedly not that far from SF, I find myself going to museums, shows, etc. SO MUCH less frequently than when I used to actually live in The City. I no longer want to be part of the bridge and tunnel crowd. >.< We're currently looking at someplace around the West End - maybe Westminster, Kensington, Chelsea, or Camden...
