It started on Thursday night. We had organised Friday and the following Monday off work, so celebrations (read: drinking) started early, and by 10pm I was merry enough to suggest that Dee get her presents early — it was technically her birthday already back home, so why not?
… and none too soon. I was going a little crazy from wwwithdrawal, I think — our access from work is limited (to say the least), and I must have at least 12,000 unread emails in Gmail by now.
Okay, it’s official — our new flat rocks! Today I walked into work for the second time ever. The first was Monday morning, when I wasn’t entirely sure where the building was — I walked into a gigantic bank building, straight up to reception and asked, “Is this the ${blah} building?
(Did you think from the title that we’d finally — and suddenly! — made the next big move? Not yet, I’m afraid.) Dee’s off to London this weekend for work, and I’m tagging along with her!
An update, in case there’s anyone who reads this and wonders what’s been going on — we’ve found a flat in London! The move is actually happening … Okay, so where are we?
Time is ticking by — it’s time for some reconnaissance! To that end Dee has booked us into a hotel in London for the Easter long weekend (6th – 9th April).
I’m at work early this morning, sitting around waiting for other people to do stuff (I’ve done everything I need to already!) so we can get somebody to sign off the whole morning as a success.
I spoke to a company in London today; a kind of “first take” on the whole job-hunting thing, for me and the company both I think. They asked some just-barely technical questions, and whilst I answered most with ease, I was feeling nervous and my mind went blank for others (specifically on JDBC, but if you care about that you should probably be reading the other site instead).
