First day at work

Nice people but a really crappy old building. I spent all day in a windowless room playing with spreadsheets and gantt charts and came home with a headache. Someone called out to me as I was walking down a corridor to get a drink and it turned out to be the husband of a friend I hadn't seen for years which made me feel really guilty for losing touch.

Worst things about work: having to make breakfast at an unearthly hour and pack a lunch. I've cooked enough stuffed peppers for two days but I'm sure to get sick of them.

Best things: it's only five minutes from home and the people are, as I said, very nice.

Other news: Greg bought a boxed set of CDs of favourite kids' songs we remember fondly and I've been playing Captain Beaky over and over. I love Captain Beaky. Now I have an urge to write 'Captain Blaky and his Band, the bravest rebels in the land' with Vila Toad, Avon Rat, Cally Owl, and Jenna Bat.

I'm definitely thinking about it. Perhaps a lunch time project.

I'm Back!

And I just wanted to say congrats on the job, even if the building is crappy...
