Serious danger of ClientCo expecting me to do stuff today

Always a risk when they disable a profile rather than deactivate completely

Finally log on here using a laptop and I post a thread in the wrong place.

Looks like I can't do any more work.

Think i'll head for the hotel and thence to David Lloyd's steam room.

Home!

About ninety minutes to get back, which constitutes a good run

I need to allow more time to defrost the car in the morning: ended up setting off about fifteen minutes late (partly also due to being rather disorganised getting out of the flat), which adds at least another quarter of an hour to the journey due to worse congestion at the other end

They'd kept my Windows profile and even reactivated it, but when my PC was fired up, someone in IT had disabled the network port it was connected to

Took about half an hour to get that sorted out. Then I was able to log in to the Linux VM I actually work on. Downloaded PyCharm and installed it, pointed it at my work directory, pulled master from Git, and I was up and running

I was given a list of things to do, which was supposed to keep me occupied for the rest of the day, and I suspect part of tomorrow. With frequent time off to look at stuff on my phone and so on, not to mention the inevitable delays while trying to work out what code I'd not looked at for two months was doing, I managed to make it last to about two in the afternoon, then spent the rest of the day reading interesting stuff online

New gig started yesterday. Shocked to discover that, with a staff pass, the cost of HEX has increased from £8.75 to £9.20 for a return ticket.

I also have just come out with a cold am am spreading juicy germs around the office, so everyone will be ill just as I go on holiday.

Top man.... the perfect return first day.

My experience last September was fairly similar, had 6 months break and returned to the same client.

Seems they allocated me old Windows account rather than the new one, most things just worked, or at least enough for me to get a serious head start before the access's were granted, gotta love Investment Banking

The added bonus was I had to "officialise" a lot of them by re-applying, even though I had the access, this prevents problems later on, I could then bitterly complain about the access processes been slow, whilst been able to work at the same time

Ohhhhhh...get you...LOL

Forgot to prepare lunch last night; didn't have time this morning. Decided to skip it so I can leave slightly earlier, having been screwed over by the A14 this morning.

Starving now, but at least I'll save a few calories

A small batch of sausage rolls is now a-baking, so I can avoid the pangs tomorrow and Thursday

Yep, comes with the hotel...and is being billed back to clientco Good job Hector can't tax my casual voyeurism
