Can't wait for the look on my manager's face when I hand my notice in.

Just wish the other company would pull their finger out and offer me the job!

Well, I had the pleasure at staying at what would have to be the nicest house in England - chez MW and Lizzie last night. Woke up at 9:30 and did a call with the programme manager in bed at 9:40.

Got out of bed and took the laptop upstairs and connected to mw's broadband and did some work, conference call at 10:30, did some docco .. mw came home from his meeting and brought me coffee and donuts (true story!!!) and we watched about 15 minutes of the cricket. mw had a client meeting so I was on my merry way and did the road from Tunbridge Wells to East Grinstead on the 998R and just moseyed through some other roads before heading up to the M25 and filtered my way back to the M3. Some clown in a Saab thought he was quick after I went past him on the exit of the M25 to the M3 at about ... err .. 70 of course ... so he came flying past me after I slowed down on the straight bit ... I sat behind him for a while until he nearly had an accident at which point I just slowed right down and cruised home.

Fuel light came on at 140miles and I've just gotten home and gotten the laptop out. The kids are having a little picnic on the lounge room floor and I've got the cricket on .... I'm starting to think about a beer now .... maybe gym first and then a beer .... decisions decisions ...

What are these M numbers? Are they preferred biking roads? :P

My day..

1. get in a carry on fighting the fire after a certain 3rd party company killed 15 servers (10,000 users) after running some synchronisation agents.

2. Answered countless calls regarding this and other issues

3. Went down to a nice country pub at lunch

4. Surfing

5. Getting ready for the weekend.

However,

Well, I had the pleasure at staying at what would have to be the nicest house in England - chez MW and Lizzie last night.

that's nice of you.... but why didn't you call in and offer to whisk me out of the office for a coffee on your way home?

Oh, and just thought of it, if you could see as far as Michael's left arm with your dark visor on last night, he was pointing at the Oakdene Cafe (Kent's meeting place) 10 mins or so after leaving Brands last night....

Yes I did see that, one of the few things I saw ... the only other thing was a feint red light in front of me ... which was Michael's brake light!
