Happy new year, everyone. Our night was a relatively quiet affair, with Chinese food, beer (for those of us lucky enough to not be on call) and tea and fruit juice for the not quite so lucky ones (i.e. me). We did top it off with a nice drop of bubbly though (but sshh, don’t tell my boss ;o) )

Did you see the fireworks in London? They were quite amazing – somewhat akin to that national anthem (Brazillian maybe?) that keeps starting again when by all rights it should have finished already. Is the London Eye still due to be dismantled and taken away at some point? It would be a shame as it does seem to make the perfect focal point for lots and lots of coloured explosives. I suppose they could use something like the Millenium Bridge? Or how about the Houses Of Parliament, assuming all precautions would be taken to ensure there were no ‘Gunpowder-plot’ accidents…

And now we are back to work. We have a demo to a potential client coming up, which I’m sure will see my spitting feathers at Excel, but right now I’m working through a couple of 360° reviews – those things where your boss and peers are asked to give frank and full feedback on your performance. They’re grrrrrreat. Honest

Anyhoo, I should get back to them…
