davywavy | David, thank God you're back!

And so return from a thrilling Engineering trade show in Birmingham with my delightful workmates who I know and like. Whilst there, I learned two important things:

1) Engineering, as a discipline, does not attract good looking people to work within it.
2) My major comeptitors don't have any jobs going at the moment.

There's a strange pleasure in wandering back to your company stand and seeing the expression on your boss' face when he asks "Where have you been" and you reply "Pitching to the competition for a better job than this one." Poor dear, he didn't know what to say. One of the few pleasures of my job is that I reckon I can do that sort of thing and they still won't fire me. Sadly, however, that's not a reason to want to stay.

Tremendously good book read: 'Carter beats the Devil'.

I may go to the Birmingham game this Sunday, after Cambs (assuming K de C is still alive, still haven't heard back about the proxying thing). What's the best way to get from Cambs to B'ham?
