New month, new boss
Spent another fun day in Warrington today. Astonishingly, it was quite sunny and warm and for once the visit wasn't too trying, which made a welcome change. The meeting was due to start at nine-ish this morning so we travelled up last night. Previously we would stay at the Horrible Inn but corporate belt-tightening means that's been 86ed in favour of the Premier Lodge across the road. Having stayed there I'm mystified as to how the Horrible Inn gets any business. The Premier Lodge has bigger and better bedroom and bathrooms, better food and bar and is thirty quid a night cheaper.
There has been yet another corporate restructuring, so my new bullet-headed Kiwi cow-orker and the Evil Taskmaster Mogsy* came up to give a demo of the system we're building to the guy the BHK and I will be reporting to in a couple of weeks after Mogsy leaves. Afterwards we dropped in on the NOC boys as Mogsy wanted to say his goodbyes, so I had to put up with the usual smartarsery - "you have a court appearance?" - from the scruffy bastards because I was wearing a suit and they'd never witnessed this before. I replied that seeing as I was meeting a new boss for the first time I thought for once that not showing up looking like the bass player out of Iron Maiden might be appropriate.
