I'm not, but I am.
Just done an interview screening with a chap in Michigan. No go.
Also have to have a call with my boss and the CIO later, which they moved from Friday which is annoying as it's the BH, but also annoying as I cannot actually not attend it.

Vegetable patch = source code control system
Weeding = refactoring
Back of the shed = code nobody dares to touch cos they don't know how it works and don't really care to find out
