Friendly February: Mix 'n' Mingle
Okay, so I don't normally use my livejournal to "name and shame", but if damnynobledna adds you as a friend, decline and block if needed.
I'm usually good at detecting spam accounts from the content of their journals, but this one passed me by, so when they started putting spam posts in my entries, I was taken a bit by surprise; blocked them now though.
The mentoring session yesterday was useful; we had a good discussion, though I had to hurry off for another meeting. We've finally decided to avoid skype meetings in an open plan office - four of us sitting at our computers in the same area talking away because one person is out of the office is a bit crazy. Also, I could hear a colleague who was talking over me while he had a separate meeting; a bit distracting.
It was a bit like this sketch, again from the Two Ronnies:
So, we'll book meeting rooms from now on.
I enjoyed my vegan burger, and just about managed my 20 minute walk going to get it, though I had to log manually on Strava - forgot to start a workout. The service was a bit slow, but the servers were at least friendly and helpful.
The one to one had to be cancelled last night, annoyingly at the last minute; I'm going to try again for next Friday night.
I have plans to see others today:
1) Leading a walk with the ramblers today; it will be interesting to see if the flooded areas from last month are still flooded.
2) Birthday lunch this evening; amalgamated from two groups; I hope everyone gets on.
In between, I'll make time for the six nations: England v Wales match.
