Three Day Work Week

by Chris · 1 comment

If only that were the case for every week. Unfortunately this isn’t a new setup at work, it’s not something I’ve managed to agree with my new position. Instead I’ve taken today and tomorrow as annual leave because my Little Sister graduates from university later this morning.

We’re going to go see her graduate, and then later today we’re all going to go out for dinner. Knowing my Sister as I do, I expect we’ll all end up very, very drunk tonight. It’s this little fact that made me decide to take tomorrow off work too. I don’t think I’d be able to drag myself out of bed, and into the office before 9am tomorrow, and even if I did I seriously doubt I’d be of any use to anyone.

That’s them here to pick me up. There should be photo’s of today up on Flickr tomorrow if my hangover isn’t all consuming.

Anyway this is just a heads up that the site is going to [...]

Unchained from the Office: The First Step

June 23, 2009

Typically after the trip to London, and the few days of partying in a row, I ended my weekend a little run down and picked up a bug of some description. Because of this I’ve spent the last few days feeling a bit crappy and working from home instead of dragging myself into the office. [...]

The Early Train to London

June 16, 2009

Tomorrow morning David and I are heading down to our London office to do some user training, and sort out a few things for a major project that is looming on our horizon. The London trip, while rubbish for work reasons, is usually a lot of fun. I tend to go out with the guys [...]

Epic RSS Feed Cull

June 8, 2009

As I’ve come to the conclusion that my time is far more valuable than anything else, I decided to go through all of my RSS feeds again and strip out those that I didn’t read as diligently as I should. Even though I’d brought the list of RSS feeds down by a substantial number a [...]

Highs and Lows

June 7, 2009

The last week has been one of varying states of being for me. I spent last Saturday at the Taste of Edinburgh festival enjoying the beautiful sunshine, and eating some fantastic food. Then rounded off the day with a couple of friends drinking some really nice wine that we’d bought earlier in the day. My [...]

Hear the Lions Roar

Saturday marks the first game in the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa. Their first game will be against the Royal XV in Phokeng. The starting team were announced a little earlier this morning and I’m delighted that Mike Blair has been given the chance to show what he’s capable of.
For some reason the [...]

FC Barcelona: Kings of Europe

May 28, 2009

Congratulations to FC Barcelona. They deserved to be crowned Champions after that magnificent performance last night. I must admit it surprised me that they outclassed, and out played Manchester United to the extent they did. I fully expected Man Utd to take advantage of their make shift defence, and dominate the game.
Of course it’s difficult [...]

Mac Utilities That Rock

May 27, 2009

I may have talked about my favourite applications before. Whether it was here or over at Silicon Souls I’m not entirely sure, but I thought I’d mention a few apps that I’m absolutely loving at the moment. They aren’t ground breaking applications, or ones that are completely life changing, but they do make my life [...]

Crazy Caffeine High

May 18, 2009

I think I’ve had a little too much coffee today, yet I still want another mug… Earlier this afternoon, while at Starbucks, I picked up a four shot monster of black coffee. which added to the amount of coffee I’d already had in the morning may not have been smart on my part. By the [...]
