    Sorry about the smell. I was in there 15 minutes ago - and I think the smell could last quite a while.....

          That was my plan, but needs must.

          Could afford quite a few more months benchtime and then some, but don't want a huge gap on the old cv.

          All the gigs in cloggers are dead ATM.

            Better to fill in some time with a London gig until something turns up in Cloggyland. The longer you're on the bench the harder it is to convince idiot recruitment agents that your brain doesn't immediately turn to mush the second you're out of work.

                I emptied the junk room two years ago.

                It was full of very expensive stuff out of an electrical lab.

                Power stuff, 3 phase & all that.

                Guess what we're re-equiping now.

                I'm now looking at stuff in catalogues that I threw away not so long ago.

                Ho humness.

                Plenty pissed off ness.

                  L O Everybody

                  Just rode the Harley down to (From Wales) Southampton and back. managed to do it without getting a wetting.

                  Passed loads of stretches where it had been raining, but luckily missed it all

                  Knackered now though
                  Confusion is a natural state of being

                    I normally don't bother with the agents who's first question is about CV gaps. Over in cloggers, the expect you to have gaps and never question them at all. In the UK they freak out about it.

                    Well the interview is thankfully via skype or phone which is a change from people insisting you meet them face to face. I've also mentioned I'd like to aim for 2 days a week working from home, so will see what happens when I speak to them.

                    So if things work out I may be organising the weekly drinks again

                    Also Diver and BP can take me out to lunch if they're in the city

                      I think BP is over in Belgravia in hedge fund territory now.
