So it hath arrived. The 1st working day of 2006. Shockaroonie. Turns out that I might have supposed to have been in Derby today rather than in the nice, warm office. Oh well. The lack of motivation is still present but on the plus side at least a small amount of work has been completed this morning. Going to be a major headache getting the thing into a releasable state for the 9th….

Between Christmas and New Year my boss said to me “I’ve just been talking to your co-worker and she’ll got a surprise for you”. I immediately though that she’d handed in her notice and was preparing to release the pack of rabid flying monkeys with instructions to bring her to the office. However, it seems that was a slight over-reaction, and instead it turns out she purchased a mini-fridge for the office. Yay! We can now keep milk for more than a day. I spent the rest of that day trying the get the pigging monkeys back into their cages. Quick buggers so they are.

So, how’s everyone’s Christmas stash? Loads of cool stuff, or just loads of fodder for eBay or freecycle? Oddest present I got was a snowball, sent over from Finland. No seriously. It IS a snowball. All right, so it might not be 100% real, but it’s white and scrunches exactly like snow. Most splendid. Made by Every Day Design in Finland and the snowball is the one at the top right, labelled snowball package 2.

Right, coffee brewed, so time to get some milk from the mini-fridge and get cracking on this …..
