When we last spoke, I was leaving Bath & heading back towards Aylesbury on an unevenly-packed train, in what turned out to be a wildly uneventful journey.
Most of the reason for a return to Aylesbury is to see friends, though the specific timing is because of a work Company Update in Oxford. ( They’re trying the idea of smaller regional events, instead of enormous one, for these updates. I guess putting people in the same room as the speaker(s) increases the chances that they’ll pay attention, unlike a Teams call )
This time I’m staying in the Guest Suite at Chateau Guineapig¹.
There’s not a whole lot to say about spending a week in Aylesbury.
Not that it wasn’t enjoyable, because it was, but there’s nothing I did that I’ve not done a thousand times, so the events are not exactly newsworthy.
- I got my old desk back. Hadn’t booked it or anything, but it didn’t look like anyone was using it.
Turns out that it’s not actually bookable on the system, presumably because nobody added it to the list of available desks; Given that this was the last week in that office for anyone for a while, it makes some sense. - Quite a few pub trips.
- A semi-cheeky Nandos trip.
- Swapping a few things in & out of storage.
The company update is covered in a different post, but as a summary; Not my best day ever.
