Julie's Boggle

Being away from work for a few days is like freewheeling downhill on a bicycle. Wonderful while it lasts, but a massive penalty to pay when you have to turn around and go home.

Today was a bit like that. Just a deluge of things to do, meetings to attend, people to speak to… All clamouring for my attention. And an incipient cold didn’t help at all.

Late afternoon, when things quietened down a little, I was quite chuffed to take delivery of my new 300GB hard-drive for my development PC. More Space – hurrah! And then accordingly disheartened when it turned out that *Dell* have jinxed all the machines they produce to reject new hard-drives out of hand. The IT support guy had to carry my poor PC away – to take part in some ritual sacrifice, or whatever it is they do to make the wretched thing work.

Another frustrating 25 minutes on the Tube with this morning’s Metro (having left my book at home today), and then home at last. And several hours later I’m feeling sleepy and well-fed after a good meal at The Kensington — a nearby pub where it’s 2 meals for the price of 1 on Monday nights. So at least it ends well. And now -yawn- time for a warm bed and a book… Night all.
