Wow, lots to catch up on

MN isn't it interesting how something that seems one way on paper can seem totally different when it's presented another way? And a huge part of it for me is the people - the project I'm on sounds kind of crap but if the team are friendly, nice, will have a chat about weekend plans and other niceties, then it makes it all bearable.

All the best with the presentation - good that it's something you are excited about

Wysiwyg you just can't catch a break with this foot hey?? Really hoping its not a clot or something else complicated. You've got travel plans coming up don't you? Hope it isn't going to jeopardise anything??

TT, how did your time away from Spock go? Must have been rough

BD, sorry you're faced with this decision sooner than you'd have liked. Which industry are you in? I'm in the same boat in my industry (same industry that wysiwyg is in) - part time positions aren't that easy to come by. It sucks that we can't all do what we want to do... Decisions like this are difficult.

Sahbear of course not I was doing a bit of stalking and reading too, when I was working out what we were doing.

Afm, well after my crappy days last week, I had my two half days at home Thu/Fri, then started my normal working week, which will be two half days Mon/Tue at home, then in the office today and tomorrow. Except due to my technical fails, I was unable to actually work from home, so I basically carried on my life as normal. And then I got paid for it.

Anyway, so that makes it better. The pay, I mean. And then I got in today and my computer had been fixed and I was actually able to start doing stuff. I've got a meeting tomorrow with my new project manager to discuss my role and hopefully start working on actual deliverables.

As I said above, I really hope the team is nice. You know, the kind of people who will actually say good morning when you arrive and ask what you've got planned for the weekend. I need that kind of social interaction otherwise I get really down at work and it'll just make it all unbearable. So, we will see.
