What a week...

[matgb]

Firstly, for those in London; glad you know you're all OK, the MD has told me to try and take next Friday afternoon off, so I might be up for the weekend again. I found this to be appropriate.

Well, we got through last Sunday (680 students in beds) and it looks like I'll get through this weekend as well (791 students in beds).

That would make it the first July in 5 years that the person doing my job has succesfully managed to house everyone. I've even managed to get today off.

Avarage 12 hour days, and mostly finished at 10pm until last night when ewe finished at 6.30pm and went to the pub. My team are stars, the rest of the office that helped out were a godsend, and the MD was acutally useful and helpful, and coordinated a lot of effort.

Odds of me getting credit for all the plans working? Small. But at least I can be pleased with myself.

Went shopping today; bought a book (only one, I restrained myself), H2G2 pts 4&5 on CD and, well, some underwear. Laundry tends to get sidelined when you've barely time to sleep...

I rule!

Congratulations. Now get your arse up to Exeter tomorrow and play some sealed deck vs system. :-)

So does this mean that we may be seeing a little more of you at GameSoc now you're over the hump? Or are you still busy through the next couple of months?

Can't do Sundays until I've persuaded the bosses that the Welfare team should be able to handle it as its their jobs to do so.

As the Welfare boss (my old boss) is, well, of questionable competence, it means I have to cover for her too often.

Week after next onwards is possible, but tomorrow I'm working and the following I'll either be working (to prove a point) or away in London or Leeds.

Tis a shame, still we're not going anywhere.

Having now played some Vs, it is rather good - very simple yet obviously possessing quite a lot of depth. It's also surprising how many old Doomtown players are kicking around on the UK mailing list, so it's obviously garnered much support from the right kind of people.

So thanks for pointing it out to me - I just need more money so I can buy more cards...

Ohh, that sounds good, would be fun to annoy Mark at S-C.
