Yeah alright cheers bruv, how was yours?

Not that I want to brag or nothing, but coming off a night shift on a moist Monday morning and getting into bed just as everyone else is setting off for the day while you're getting into bed is just a perverse bliss that only a small fraction will ever understand. It's the working equivalent of taking off your socks at the end of the day.

Work-wise fairly awful. Dodgy software and shitty MS updates resulted in hundreds of users having debilitatingly slow logins, and as the IT department we had to respond rapidly, which we do anyway, but we were also hounded by angry managers. Fortunately we're on it today and all has gone well. Plus there was the sweet salvation of beer and family boardgames over the weekend.

I visited another office (last week) to help train up some of our staff...

The reward this morning was: all of last week's work is still waiting for me AND the managers want to have calls to discuss why it's not all done yet... and, of course, this week's work is waiting for me.

There aren't enough A's to say Aaaaaaargh

But apart from that, I'm amazed at how resilient trees are in these storms!

This week has passed in about 24 hours. I swear it's still July, maybe August. I don't wish to alarm anyone, but I think there's something wrong with the passage of time.

(Why yes, I am getting old, why do you ask?)
