What's the attraction of the TCR shops anyway. They shite, overpriced, and
staffed by complete morons.

Annoyingly, I'm at the Excell Bike show all day on the first but have
a band rehearsal that night so have to be back for the evening.

I've been here since 8:20, with only a short lunch, most of the rest
of the office have gone home already, and the only pressing bit of
work I have today is to write a desk-moves policy document :-/

heh. It has its moments. heading a joint IT/facilities policy action
group that gets to decide things like the breakpoint between intraday
equipment moves -v- doing them out-of-hours isn't one of them.

It's a 20 minute walk from here, so about 6. If I'm not asleep by then.

On a normal day i'd declare that pointless, but apparently I now have to
write a process document so that some numbskull in Bangalore can read
alerts from a console, and raise problem records for them. Apparently
they can't develop any processes for themselves... and once written it
apparently needs a risk assesment.

"Risk: If you don't do this I'm coming to find you..."

I probably don't need to say I'm glad it's Friday.

I've never been envious of your job, and now I'm even less so.
