    It's possible I'm the fall guy, I suspect however it won't impact me.

    We are caught in an internal game of politics and they are simply not listening...
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Just about ready to enter don't-go-out-because-the-delivery-could-arrive-any-time-in-the-next-seven-hours mode

          According to the John Lewis website, they will call "up to 30 minutes" before arriving. That could, of course, mean "as little as one second"; it's not really something you can organise your life around

          I decided trying to get the old fridge freezer downstairs on my own would be the action of an imbecile, so they'll have to do it. I am happy to hang around getting in the way and offering vague and impractical advice to these people who move bulky objects for a living, should that be needed

            The Cardboard Computer | Hackaday

            Every time we say “We’ve seen it all”, along comes a project that knocks us off. 60 year old [Mark Nesselhaus] likes to learn new things and he’s never worked with hardware at the gate level. So he’s building himself a 4-bit Computer, using only Diode-Transistor Logic. He’s assembling the whole thing on “card board” perf-board, with brass tacks for pads. Why — because he’s a thrifty guy who wants to use what he has lying around. Obviously, he’s got an endless supply of cardboard, tacks and Patience. The story sounds familiar. It started out as a simple 4-bit full adder project and then things got out of hand. You know he’s old school when he calls his multimeter an “analog VOM”!

              Agent on the phone: apparently ClientCo has just realised they never specified which three days a week

              It seems Tue-Wed-Thu would suit them, so we're going with that. No unpleasant Monday morning feeling for me
