I had to attend to attend a training course at work today – it was sooo boring! It involved teaching us about a new system that my organisation will be using sometime in the future. I will spare embarrassment by not naming the product.
A large part of the system in question uses an Active Directory – a tool which I use frequently throughout my working week. Even so, the trainer still insisted on taking two hours teaching my colleagues and me on how to use it. I had my fun though, asking her loads of complicated questions that I knew she would be unable to answer – I think she was on the verge of tears at one point!
The classroom bullying continued well into the afternoon, when a group of us decided to keep asking the poor trainer the question “Is it case sensitive?” every time we got to a stage which required a password to be entered/created. Each time the question as asked, it caused a look of frustration from the trainer and a fit of giggles from the trainees.
As you can probably tell, I was a little bastard when I was in school, and things haven’t changed much now! :o)

I received an email from work offering me a free Will.

This day off is known, within the department, as a "non-working day". Smart arses may argue that I have five of these a week already.
This "NWD", however, allows me to stay at home, wearing my pyjamas all day, should I so wish....

Introducing the Office Bunny!
Yes, that is Shaun the Sheep peering up at the camera. He had been sitting on top of my computer for the past 5+ years, but was kicked off his throne this morning by Rabbit Di Nero.
I am aware that sharing my workspace with a stuffed, life size rabbit could be considered...

This week is my last working five days
Monday to Friday is over for me.
From next week, I will no longer be working Tuesdays.
Dropping a day is not a decision that I took lightly. It will obviously have financial implications for me, plus now I have signed that change of conditions form, there is no going...
- I’ve Had Better Days: Part 2
The clocks have now gone back, I had a good night's sleep and have now settled down to blog the second installment of my Friday Frights, while Claire watches Liverpool play Spurs.
Where did we finish off last night? Oh yes, I had cleaned Neil Warnock and nursed him back to full, loud health. No idea...
