Monday morning

Well, its monday morning & my work computer has been "upgraded" in my absence, necessitating the loss of all files & emails that I was saving. Wonderful. I shall, in all likelihood, spend the bulk of the day trying to get the machine / local IT department to recover something from it. And then give up & go home in disgust.

On the plus side, the weekly weigh-in this morning showed that I was 86kg - so back to where I was before I started the diet. Given that I was almost killed by duck themed food (trust me - for those of you who were not there, you cannot know the peculiar method of French torture where they force food on you until the abstract concept of food causes nausea) and have been forced to drink vast quantities of beer & wine over the last 2 weeks, I was rather surpised by this, as I had rather assumed that I'd be somewhat closer to the 90kg mark.

So go me - but its back to it now. At least until the formal offer letter comes through and then they can call me Mr handing-in-my-notice-you-should-have-made-me-permanent-when-you-had-the-chance-Parkinson. So there.

Yay!

Well, its "momentous announcement" time...

In the last 15 minutes, the signed Amsterdam contract was sent through to me, I've counter-signed it, returned it and have since handed in my notice to my current employers!

Which means that I finish on Monday 15th August (a strange choice of day, but there we go).

So I guess that this adds impetus to the Geek Meet of this Friday...? Come on, you know you want to turn up!
