Well after a week of unusually rampant social activity, I was rather looking forward to having a quiet night in and catching up on things, most notably sleep. Unfortunately my friend who I met on Saturday texted me to see if I wanted to go for a drink.
"My mate's band's playing at the Old Duke," she informed me. The Old Duke is a great...

Woo, bit of catching up to do. My social life is usually a little... well, boring honestly, but this last week it's been pretty busy. (Hence the blog post at 20 to 4 am...)

Last night I went to a metal gig with a guy from work and a guy who used to work there. There were 3 bands on, all of whom were pretty...

Well, salsa was a fun experience. It's definitely harder than it looks, but fun and the people there were all pretty friendly. The women in the beginners class were very varied - one only just came up to my chest and another was a good half a head taller than me, (I'm 6ft) although I didn't notice if she was wearing heels.

What a weekend!

Woke up fairly early, (for a weekend,) went to have my induction at the gym and got shown around. It looks pretty cool there.

There's an organic food festival tomorrow, (read: lots of free samples,) then a punk gig tomorrow night I'm going to. Sunday there is a kite festival and all being well I might bump into a girl I've been...

Phew, busy day.
Not only have I been clearing an office of all my IT crap, (some of which I inherited when we moved to our new offices,) which means carrying boxes through the large warehouse and up onto the mezzanine, (at least I got some exercise...) but I've also managed to get our network PCI compliant! I've been working on that for a while...

God I'm bored.
My job has started to hit new heights of 'can't-be-arsed' -ness, so I'm on here writing when I should be doing other stuff. Not unusual I'm sure, but my boss has a theory that since I'm the IT manager, I should set an example to others by not browsing the web except on breaks. Needless to say it's a theory I don't...
