    Evening denizens

    Spent most of today in Sprint planning

    We rounded off this morning by discussing the large and complex component of the system that I'm currently building. There seemed like an awful lot of it, so I figured that was me sorted for the next two weeks

    This afternoon I discovered to my horror that only slightly less than half of my planned hours had in fact been taken up by that stuff, leading to me being given another large and complex component (which is also dreadfully underspecified) to add to my list

    Anybody would think these people expected something for their money, the way they make me do stuff

          I found out last night that the thieving git who stole my camera the other week was caught on CCTV stealing somebody's laptop in the same pub a few days later

          All the staff now know what he looks like and are on the alert for him - luckily the pub is over the road from a police station, so there's a vague chance they might even deign to pop in if he turns up

          Of course, my camera and that bloke's laptop will have long gone to provide money for drink and/or drugs

                  Indeed... there should be enough here to keep me busy for a while yet, barring any unwanted buy-outs...

                  I reckon I'll take a month off in the summer or early autumn though - I'm about ready for a rest as it is

                    Rate rises all round! Just got a new contract. Current one finishes on the 4th April but I was offered an extension.

                    Ditched it to go elsewhere

                    +25% Rate Rise
                    Only 10 miles from Home instead of 100
                    I get back the 4 Hours Commuting a day I used to do.



                    Crunch...what Credit crunch?
                    I got my extension agreed just working on the rate increase, I'm fairly optimistic I'll get something
