Beer! Beer! Beer! OK, I had some at lunch, and last night, but I've cut back since last week so it's now more of a welcome treat than just something routine. Especially when I get to drink the good stuff like Flying Dog's Raging Bitch.
Work is still all consuming. In a good way. Mostly. It doesn't help that the first half of the week was ruined by one person constantly demanding things (The Editrice, our editor, who's micro-managing and air-headed all in one. I want to like her, and sometimes I do, but she takes the piss far too often). Thankfully from Wednesday everyone shut the hell up and stopped asking for things so I've made a massive dent in my to do list. I'm even planning server and software upgrades! (Office 2010! Exchange 2010! Edge Transport servers! Shiny new things!). So I'm feeling good about work right now. Especially as it seems they're planning on making my role/pay rise permanent.
The office move will almost certainly be to Farringdon, despite a viewing today at the "most perfect office" in London Bridge (too far from "stuff". Pah). So it looks like I'll be almost exclusively commuting by scooter, which is just more convenient really, even though we're getting a Boris Bike stand literally right outside the flat this summer. And I think I'll stick with my plan of upgrading my scooter to something that's 400cc (or more) in the summer. Once I've got my full license. Stay off the East London roads, y'all! I'll be learning on a 500cc manual bike, probably from next month. For the lulz.
The wife is away this weekend. I'm trying to think of something radically different to do but all I can think about is gym, beer, watching crap in the evening. I mean it works, but it gets a lil' tedious. Until the second pint kicks in.
