andrewduckerLong but good day at work today. Project going well, if slowly.
I arrived in to discover a note on my desk to phone my boss' boss - rarely a good sign. So I worried slightly and dialled his number - to be greeted by a cheery voice telling me that he'd read my development document, thought it was rather good and had passed it on to all the other managers in his development area. I feel rather proud of this, but also quite strange at being in the spotlight like that.
This afternoon I was walking back to my desk from the toilet when I bumped into a business programmer I vaguely know (business programmers are employed by the business side of the company rather than by the IS side - they get used for all the things that have to be done that you can't get an IS budget for - they tend to be less structured, but very good at getting a solution in that _works_) - who told me _he'd_ read it. Turns out his manager had sent it out to all the the people in his group. I seem to be a minor celebrity - tis very confusing.
Left work at 5:30 (huzzah for flexitime) and went over to Hugh's for gaming - we played more Killer Bunnies and Hoity Toity until 9:00, then staggered home, was beaten soundly at Mario Kart and am now heading to bed.
Yaaaaaaaawn (reprise).
