i do very little per day. Turn up and do a few reports in the morning on previous performance.
Following lunch it is 'looking busy time while surfing' ....... yawn fest!

Very. I think I am here just to keep the budget for when things pick up and there is actually some work to do.
But the internet is mostly un-restricted so can't complain.

In a word, excruciating. I'm documenting something that somebody else has written to very exacting standards and the fact that all the information is in somebody else's head makes me wonder why the f**k they've asked me to do it!

Ho hum.
When you;ve had a bellyfull of project clients false promises and now find yourself sweeping the Streets of Basingstoke ?
JUST REMEMBER -
... that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

At the moment the current gig is uber boring. I am 3 weeks away from the end so I have to document stuff and train the people in how to use it.
Other than that its been great.
