    what's wrong with 1020? If the yanks can put the month before the day, why can't I put the decade before the century?

    (I hope to God my next contract isn't in Brentwood again though - a 2.5 hour drive each way on a *good* day! )

    Oh good. Aside from a few minutes of misery at the thought of tomorrow and Wednesday’s meetings I’ve been in quite a good mood all day. Statistically speaking I am therefore likely to be thoroughly happy for the rest of this year!

    I bet you had more sleep. CM has a terrible cough that kept me awake most of the night.

    It would take a huge amount of money to get me up that early. In fact, so much that I wouldn’t have to get up that early ever again.
