Autumn stuff

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Well the summer certainly lasted a long time - not!  So I’ve changed my background to reflect the fact that it is now September and grapes should be good for wine-making.

Ok - it’s a fairly cheesy link, but I like to keep my blog up to date and in tune with the weather.  Now, where’s the forked lightning and hailstones background….

Four day weeks rule!

Friday, September 1st, 2006

Don’t you just love bank holiday weeks?  The weekend is almost upon us and we’ve only done four days worth of work.

Well, actually, it might make the week shorter (because it is!), but actually 4 day weeks and bank holidays are a right pain.

Why?  Because most people decide to add on an extra few days holiday to this week, which means that nobody is in when I call, so I end up doing loads of work making phone calls and getting very little in return for it.

So although I’m in the office this week, others aren’t and that makes my job really difficult.

Fortunately, the next bank holiday is Christmas where I intend to be skiing down some slope, hopefully in Canada (again!).  By the way, you can check out my attempt at My first black run .

So at least between now and then I hope that some of you will be in your offices :-) Although there is still half-term between now and then…
