(no subject)
I'm back.
What's that you say, wasn't Oliver supposed to be gone for 8 days, not 4?
Actually yes, I pulled out after 3 days of walking, managed to get myself driven to Pemberton and then drove home.
I'm a little disappointed in myself, but I guess I'm more disappointed that I misjudged my capabilities than I am for failing to meet my own expectations.
Anyway, I'm not done with my long term plans, I'm pretty sure I can cut out 6-7kg of stuff for the next time (which includes not being gone for as long, so less food), which will make a real difference. Something which I guess you only learn from going out and doing it, and more grounds for picking something shorter first as well.
Anyway, I now have no plans for 9 of the next 10 days (that's NO PLANS AT ALL), so if people feel like catchups this is a good time.
In other news, roleplaying is back on on Sunday (can relevant people comment so I know that you've seen this).
In more other news, I got back to find a letter advising that I'd been recommended for an internal promotion. This means I'm now permanently at the level I was for the last 8 months acting on my project. It's not unexpected (there were 8 vacancies), but still nice to get.
