Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Three Things I Learnt Today

Today I learnt three things that will have a varying impact on my life.
First, I discovered that a delay beyond my control in one of my projects will cause it to overun and come in over budget by about £12k. Whilst not a disaster due to some lag time and contingency, I suspect my next review may be slightly harsher, but thats about it.
Secondly, during my lunch hour, I learnt from the young lady walking in the other direction that her bad back is solely due to the table. I figure that of the three, this will have the least impact on my life, whilst perhaps beong the most intriguing.
Lastly, I discovered at a rather inopportune moment that the shoes I recently got to replace my old ones are devoid of steel toe-caps (which is even more annoying considering that the previous ones did, even though they were the same make and model). Needless to say in the big scheme of things this doesn't amount to a hill of beans, but at the moment of discovery, it certainly had a concentrating effect.

There was a fourth thing, but it can't have been that important as I have forgotten it.
