Event - Carlton Thursday (+heads up: away next week)

[jack]

In celebration of my new job I went out to the pub last night, and dropped in on the Carlton. Interesting to see how many people I know know each other in various ways. And to make leaps in putting faces to name, and histories to domains and subdomains, and names to domains.

In "cambridge is way too small" stakes, I discovered Mark works for a company which has am as a client, and beckyc works in the same building -- so contrary to stereotypes about programming companies, there will be at least one beautiful woman working in the building :)

For the first time, someone has added me as a friend before I added them (I think). *waves* Hi sphyg. I'll get round to finding everyone else's online IDs in a bit.

Memo to self: but remember you have some friends who aren't computer geeks and don't have livejournals. You need to email (or, in cases of extreme luddism, visit) them in order to keep in touch, it won't happen automatically.

Next week
In case anyone wants to know I will be away visiting grand- & -parents next week as of sunday, (*waves* Hi mum. I'm sure you've managed to be stalking me lj by now ;) If not I'll suggest it to you...) returning probably mid-week-after. I will have some internet access, but not enough to rework politics and economics from the ground up ;)

Congratulations on the job! Is this an offer, or an "I've accepted and am starting a week on Monday" job? :)

(I'm either being Very Cunning at Work, or posting from back in Cambridge. Guess which.)

They made me an offer, I accepted verbally, they've sent me a contract, I need to sign it and send it back. I'll start at the beginning of October.

*thinks* The easy one? PS. I am appropriately disturbed by your icon ;)

/me realises she can now read all posts now, due to being logged. Whoops, should've read before posting :)

'Grats, anyway! You'll be starting at about the same time I do. G'luck!
