So, after heading up to Bedford, Down to a convention, over to Cheltenham, I'm now back. Even managed to make it to trapeze class.
Found a nice place to stay for the next 3 months. Bit pricey but the landlady is lovely, the room is large and nice and clean and has a desk and aerial socket and other human beings, and the kitchen has a gas cooker!
Work has been tedious so far. There doesn't seem to be a lot of direction. It's a very bureaucratic organisation. Today my line manager got permission to talk to someone in another department about work related stuff. If I want new software I'm out of luck because I won't get approval until after the contract ends.
I have a regular drive to and from Cheltenham for the next few weeks. This takes me not too far from:
Reading.
Oxford.
Bath.
Bristol.
By a staggering coincidence I know people in all these places.
Unfortunately I don't think any of them actually keep up with my LJ. Will have to bug them more directly.
