Well this is fun. At least I have coffee.

Doc Ock style perhaps

Rookie mistake - I drank all of the soup and now have the cob left over.

Ithankyou!

Right, off to my call I go...

Teams, from an external vendor

Just checking if it's Teams, Zoom or Webex - we seem to use all three.

Might get the conf call loaded up and ready.

Experiment seems a failure at this time due to suboptimal design of the human body.

Late breakfast or early lunch?

Noises suggest the postman has just been...

Could try a mug I guess...

Unless I drink straight from the bowl, which is a but infra-dig.

Need an extra arm. Hard to hold bowl, drink and type.

OK, laptop on lap, cob and soup on chair arm. Let's see how this goes.

As spilling soup on a work laptop could be considered careless.

Just need to work out the setup for this experiment.

This sounds like a job for SCIENCE!

Hmm. Nine minutes to the call and I have a bowl of leek and potato soup waiting. Can I drivel and eat at the same time?

Yet another job to add to the ever growing list... at least it'd keep me busy (if I ever got round to them).

Might need to stick a rag in it again and maybe tape round the edges of the door at the weekend.

Although that room does have a rather ancient door to the patio with a keyhole, to which we don't have a key. Gets a bit blowy.

I might move round to the dining room in a bit to see if it's any warmer.

Looking outside it's still sunny but this side of the house is now in shade :-(

(though may be ignored at my discretion)

Drivel requests are, of course welcome.

That said, my input is likely to be minimal, and so drivel may ensue.

Although I do have a conference call in 15 minutes, which may delay things a little.

Of course!

Actually, looking out the window again the murk from earlier has cleared. CBS, looks bloody freezing. Lovely sunshine.

That was a pleasing post number, quite by chance.

It is a bit dull and cold here, but I'm wrapped up warm and have a nice warm laptop to keep be comfortable too.

And it's Friday!!!!

Morning all

Good morning from permie land. I'm now working for Global Parcel Co - although I did manage to double-bubble it with a contract up to last Friday... nice little earner :-)

What have...

HNY folks!

Also: ommmm

:spel

You’re right NF. Sorry, not necessarily usual material for here

Stood in the kitchen with a sharp knife on my wrist the other night. Bottled it and dropped it when heard someone coming. Not quite worked up the nerve :(

Tired and fed up but what’s new?

Need some direction in life. Not sure I fancy being a network engineer (however good I might be, and however long it took to be this good) for ever.

FFS nearly...

Permie interview No.2 done. Bloke realised that the pimp would have told me nothing so spent 15 minutes explaining.

Nice enough but... 3 stage interview process :eyes

And he's off next week so...

Had permie interview no.1 this morning for Local Transport Company (interesting, money not the best of the ones I'm looking at but the work would make up for it).

Speedy Talking Sociology Pimp has...

Omelette and sauteed potatoes here - very nice. Now sitting on a call listening to the French argue amongst themselves about a network migration which will happen after I finish.

Grey but with a hint of blue here. Not wet at least.

Beer delivery is here! Not bad going considering I only ordered online about 10:30 last night.

Well done Nottingham Brewery!

Followed by :freaky:

Her favourite emoji seems to be the :banana:

Which means I'm in charge of two children, one of whom is standing next to me whining.

Sandwich eaten, children back from their trip to Asda.

Mrs CB is straight out again to neonatal audiology.

Now it's cold again. Perhaps time for a jumper and some more coffee.

Not a huge amount of movement on the contract front here. The two I'm still officially live for are now not returning my calls so I guess they're really dead.

Did have two first interviews for...
