And so it goes....

...from dealing with ultra complex high availability ESX issues, to....
a colicking horse on a Saturday night, ending with the vet administering half a bucket (thats like, a BIG bucket!) of Epsom salts and electrolytes, via nasal tube, at 9pm.

NOW I need a glass of wine LOL!

Oh, added a few photos from Glasgae... see Picasa...

(Look! It really DOES look like a wing!)

Overheard by the water cooler

Overheard by the water cooler:

"How can a programmer fail to understand arrays?
Its like a baker not getting yeast, or a politician not understanding lies."

:)

Three days to go and I'm outta here! W00t!!1!

Overheard at work...

I overheard this at work today. Made me chuckle:

I have to write all these blasted 'DummyViewModels' so the boss can work in Expression Blend because he's an absinthe drinking 'artist'

He'll probably come in with an ear missing on Monday

Superb. :)

What a weekend.

Well, its all go here. Got the contract through from the agency for the new position, so moving on after 3 years in my current job - off to work for a bank in their Wealth Management department so quite exciting.

So this weekend, I was out riding a horse when it decided to gallop off under a tree - I and the horse departed company, and now I have a big bruise on my arm where the tree hugged me. Damn.

Later on, I walked into a door and near enough knocked myself out. Damn.

This morning I woke up to find I had left a pan of chicken stock on the stove all night - it was a bit smelly and burnt. Damn.

So, a bit eventful. :)

I have some photos of Chatsworth and Glasgow added to my album.
