Weekend post

Weekend post
Another week has passed, nothing of interest apart from a management meeting to discuss the future of the control bridge in Leatherhead – will it be dissolved and picked up by Wales, or shipped directly to India? The clock is ticking…

I’m working tomorrow (Sunday) OS patching for some 8 servers joy – so won’t see daylight for at least 8hrs… Dean is helping out so at least I have someone to talk to…

Sunday post

Well, Chris is back after a training course and he has some issues to sort out back in the office, hopefully the meeting I’m having with him on Monday will resolve some of them.

Having trouble with hearing again, deaf in my right ear after a shower I’ve put some drop in and I’ve got my fingers crossed..

Will have to wait to see what happens in the week ahead, I’m hoping its going to go smoothly… But who knows.
