This time I’m staying out near the airport, where the hotels are cheaper, but the tramline will take you into the city centre easily.
Though one of the two catch-ups with folks went late enough that the last tram had gone, so I utilised their guest room.
One catch-up was with someone I knew, plus a few others, including a newly hired New Zealander; Apparently the one in my old team is recruiting people from the NZ equivalent of the former company. He’s only there for a one year contract to cover for someone who’s gone on sabbatical.
Insert screaming about the company here; For all that sabbaticals aren’t a given (though if your best response to “this is unfair” is to point out that you don’t have to allow one, I feel like you’re admitting to being a shit person), I’ve not heard of anyone being turned down for one, and neither had anyone else I’d asked
The other was with a co-worker friend from Aylesbury who’s since moved to Edinburgh.
