I am always quietly impressed by, and mildly jealous of, the prodigious output of bloggers like Zoe, Robin and Andy, especially when I have had a busy week and have been less than inspired.
I hope to remedy this over the coming two days but the Reader's Digest version of my week goes like this:
Sunday: Started running again after many moons of inactivity on the exercise front.
Monday: Ached. Oh and worked from home.
Tuseday: Quiet day at work - just as well as was totally distracted by the eBay Psion 5mx which had arrived the previous day. Ran again in evening. Liberal application of Deep Heat to aching limbs eased discomfort.
Wednesday: Fecking MS Lookout (to which my geekboy SPV E200 phone connects when it feels like it) wipes out 150+ crucial work contacts on said phone. Not a happy boy as spent evening importing contacts from other sources back onto the Phone From The Dark Side.
Thursday: Meetings and drudgery to the tune of The Song Of The Volga Boatmen (you'll get the drift when you hear it). Ran again in evening and felt a little better and more energised. No application of Deep Heat required.
Friday: Dress down day. Great brainstorming session with my team. Quick 'pub lunch' with boss and colleagues in the hotel opposite work. Good afternoon with desk cleared by 1600hrs. Extremely rapid journey home in lovely spring sunshine. All's well with the world. Until the Global Head Of My Division calls in the middle of home made bugers to ask why she's getting sh*tloads of escalations and 'nobody's answering their mobiles'. Hour on phone tracking down relevant folks and making the right noises to get things resolved. And now, as I finish this post, my bastard repetitive strain injury/carpal tunnel pains (see posts in archives) are back in my right arm.
I feel an enforced holiday from PC looming. Fopping feck as Father Jack might say.

A bucket full of sympathy from me to you! Whilst I was reading you out pour, it vividly reminded me of what I left behind me when left England. But still most of the work memories are golden because of the most excellent teamwork that was done with all of my old colleagues, including you.
:) sunshiny greetings from Finland!

Lordy. Prodigious maybe. Quality not. And believe me mate, I wish I hadn't the time. Don't suppose you have a US arm to your company do you that needs a hot-shot tech or product manager? That way I can go back to not posting thrice a day.
