Yay! On an entirely selfish note, it means we can go to Discworld :)
*g* No great guarantee about that yet - need to find out whether or no I'll be able to take my Canada trip when I want to and, if not, whether I can take the time for the Discworld con so close to my music festival time.
Arranging holidays while temping is so much easier.
So, what job is it doing?
Insight analyst - basically a fancy kind of data analysis. There's some database programming stuff and a bunch of other numerical analysis stuff to do. The main reason that I'm a little ambivalent is that there isn't a huge amount of programming work, but at least there will be some and it gives me some financial breathing space. I can keep doing odds and ends of web work to build up a portfolio and I haven't locked myself into a career, I hope.

This is true, although I've found the trick is to get in quick (it helps that there are only three people in my department and I only have to make sure neither of the other two want the same dates off).
Yes indeed. The drive to where I'll be working isn't too bad, but the place yesterday was all on one of the country's nastiest motorways so I wasn't happy. I like driving on good, non-scary roads with decent scenery. That wasn't yesterday's drive :-(
Thank you! And you have way too much faith in me :-)
Your poor little thing for living in Cheshunt. I've never been to a more depressing place in my life, not aided by forty minutes on the M25 going and returning. Nobody should have to live in Cheshunt. Definitely would quit if they tried to make me work there.

Speak to you later?
Yeah, Cheshunt's a dive, isn't it? I used to live there.
