    They seemed quite surprised down in Philips Semiconductors when I buggered off at lunchtime on the last Friday.

    But they'd got their contracted 40hrs so that was it.

    Not many of those 40 might be deemed constructive, mind you.

      Final run of my utility for transmogrifying Chef cookbooks before I try the install-as-standalone-command bit and give it its final, final run.

      As I'm running it against the main Git repo and it pulls the whole lot down each time, I'm hoping I can get a "disk full" message out of this crappy Windows laptop before I'm done

          Just managed to sneak a relevant Pink Floyd quote in as a subordinate clause in the README file

                WFH today, which is more productive than sitting in the office with the stressbunnies I seem to be working with.

                I never thought marketing types were so annoying, but I never had to work with them on a day to day basis.

                Methinks I will be increasing the number of days WFH to more than one.
