Room with a view

The view from my desk.

Office move aftermath

We turned up to work this morning to find our team’s new office layout. Oh dear. If I was to use one word to describe it, it would be cramped. We've managed to rejig it somewhat but there's still not much space. On the plus side. My desk is reasonable. I've got a window seat (overlooking a wall) and i've reclaimed my pot plant that now sits on my new window sill which also acts as an extra foot of desk space.


It has been fairly comedic though. One girl on my team took most of the morning trying to find space for her collection of shoes and has only just stopped moaning.

Royal Mail need to improve

If the Royal Mail are upping their prices by inflation busting amounts then they need to improve their service. Both myself and April have been waiting for a parcel for nearly 2 weeks now. Amazon says that it's been delivered, and the post office say that they don't have anything at their depot so we asked Amazon to send us new orders which they kindly did or are in the process of doing so.



It was only yesterday that I noticed that our parcel had indeed be posted, it was thrown round the back entrance and had no doubtably been there since the 15th April. Having had half of the whole years rain in the month of April meant soggy packages.



Luckily mine was cellophane wrapped, April's fared less well. Wait here for our complaint.

The grand openning

We tried out our closest pub on Saturday night. There was a big sign outside stating that it was under new management and was having an opening party on Saturday night. We hadn't been there for a few years as it was terrible but thought we should support our local businesses.




The signs weren't good, we could hear the place before we could see it. Some sh!t popular song that the kids listen to I think. When we finally saw the front door there was a bouncer outside. That's always a good sign. But we persevered. The music was unbearably loud, so we went into the second section which wasn't too bad, except of course for the clientele... We left straight away and to our old favourite the P&J (Punch and Judy). Phew!



I do think that it’s a missed opportunity however. There are certainly more normal people at our end of town compared to pikeys and they must have seen how popular the P&J was since that changed owners. Bloody terrible.

Avengers Assembled

Decent comic book action film. 3D didn't really add much. Would have been better if we had a clue to half of the characters back stories.

In case you missed my previous post this is great

Todd and the Book of Pure Evil

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1558128/

Really gross, really funny, nice metal music throughout and unlike most things on TV.  It's really worth catching on Syfi (Tuesdays at 10) or downloading.  The good news is they're making another series.

Cinema trip tonight

Well let's see what all the fuss is about.  We're off to see the Avengers film tonight. It's meant to be pretty good so fingers crossed.

Cheeky monkey

Poppet's allowed in the bedroom as long as she uses a towel.

What was the point of that?

Just received my new passport in the post and had a look through some of the pages.  There was a sticker towards the back with the words please remove sticker on it. 

Let out early

We've had a small office move today, meaning we all had to pack up our stuff by 4:30, so we've been let out early yeah!
