Decided whether you're going to commute or stay away?

I'm staying away for the first week at least - have to see how flexible they are about times. I'll probably stay away for the whole gig. It's two hours each way, meaning I'd be out of the house at 7 and getting back at 7 if I drove

With a bit of luck I can negotiate my usual thing of starting at lunchtime on Monday, leaving at lunchtime on Friday, and working late in the week. There's no real incentive to leave work at 5:30 sharp when all that awaits is a Premier Inn

At least the hotel is only about one minute's walk from the office, and the small town/suburb seems to have a couple of good pubs - the guy I'll be reporting to has a pub mapping site with reviews, and declares his love of real ale on his profile page on the company web site, so they seem to have the right attitude

[NickFitz]

congratulations

Cheers Scourer

I'm glad I held out for the extra money - unlike in the story of Oliver Twist it pays to demand more, apparently

Sounds like the beginning of a good working relationship

Just cracked open a bottle of WychCraft myself

I think it might have been Zeity that got the pali. It was before the newbie post appeared and shuffled the posts along.

Yes : I read that later. mods : get it together.....

Actually his site is pretty darned slow - too many markers on the map.

This is the problem I dealt with when doing the traffic camera stuff for the radio stations, and some of the research I did last week for using Y! GeoPlanet to group data by region takes that a step further; so I should be able to help him improve his site quite a bit
