I finally gave in to pester power and bought a netbook....for Mrs C. It looks like a dinky toy but she is now connected to the net and no longer has to wait her turn when we males hog the PC...as males are wont to do. £50 knocked off the price and we are both happy although it only took her several weeks of hints, pestering and significant sighs whenever the PC was being used. Having set it up for her I am quite impressed and I am thinking it is possibly preferable to the work laptop.
Today is a welcome day off from work despite the rain and lack of sunshine. Bank holiday weekends generally result in alcohol fuelled overdoses after relationships break up. This weekend we had none of that although it's fair to say today isn't yet over...large female soprano moment yet to come. It's nice just to chill, walk the dog and have a pint although the above purchase may mean the latter is suspended for the next three weeks. It is also a welcome break from the endless discussions about the future of the team with rumours flying all over the place. I got annoyed in the end and stated "Just be bloody thankful you still have jobs!".It is inevitable that our team will be amalgamated with another team. It will be to save money and achieve more value for money (more bangs for your buck!). Crisis work is either flat out non-stop without time for a cuppa let alone meals or, it's tumble weed and navel gazing.
Anyhow, despite the weather we've opted for BBQ burgers and a salad tea in the imaginary sunshine...indoors naturally. Imagination can't cope with the rain and a gale blowing around bare legs.
TTFN.
