I wonder if anybody will point out the name of the fictional customer whose data is displayed: "Tyrell Corporation"Tyrell: The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. Look at you: you're the Prodigal Son; you're quite a prize!

Tyrell: Also extraordinary things; revel in your time.

Home, and weekend!
It's been a pig getting the last three miles home though
I'd popped the shopping bags in the car this morning, thinking I might do the shopping on the way home and save a trip tomorrow. After leaving ClientCo bang on time and having a generally good run back, I was looking at a record time if I came straight home, but I took the lane for the shops as I came off the motorway.
Once we were off and onto the sort of spur off the ring road that leads to the junction, everything was at a standstill; and it's five lanes wide. I figured there must be some incident somewhere as it was as bad as I've ever seen it, and I wouldn't have had much joy getting home in a hurry anyway. As it was it took about half an hour to travel the half-mile or so to Sainsbury's.
I got my shopping done there and filled up with petrol, by which time it was nearly an hour since I'd left the motorway. I'd thought the traffic would have dispersed by then, but it was almost as bad. I got across to M&S, much hindered by the imbeciles who thought they were being clever and avoiding the jam by cutting through the retail park, which just meant the internal roads round that were jammed too. (The parking and shops were almost empty.)
I finally got to M&S and picked up the few bits I wanted, and headed home. The road towards the city was also dead slow and stop for most of the way up.
So I finally made it home three hours after leaving ClientCo for a seventy mile journey; or an average speed of about 23mph
This is the kind of crap I'll be overjoyed not to have to deal with any more once I've finished at ClientCo
But the shopping's done, so I don't have to worry about that; and I remembered there's frozen curry leftovers in the freezer, so cooking will be a doddleComment
