He's Leaving

No, not me, at least not yet.

The guy I've worked with on SAP and Primavera this year and last, supporting the training, and getting to go to the US for our Bootcamp. He's gone and got himself a new job over the road at May Gurney, doing scheduling and planning. They're implementing Primavera 4.1 this coming year, so he's really fallen on his feet with this one. And before you ask, yes, he's got all our CV's with him. But we're going to wait 'til Easter to see how it goes for him before we start jumping ship ;-)

Anyway's, Friday was his leaving do. And also the Ex-Tele Group Xmas Do. Oh, and did I mention I'd borrowed Janet's car which had to be dropped at the Lister over lunch. Guess not. So, as you can imagine, it was a nightmare of an afternoon, I had to be in 3 places all at once :-O

Curry was top, and the subsequent beer in the Marquis was well received. And there would've been many more, except that the hoards of people expected at Phil's do turned out to be few. So I excused myself and ran over to the Hogshead to hold the fort, and keep Phil from going home early, and not as drunk as one should get on their leaving do.

And that's about it, except for the visit to Chicago's, bumping into a few people from work, (hello to Nicky, Jemma, and Chris :-D) and even seeing a friend of Janets out with her work colleagues, looking a little worse for wear. But then look who's talking, I got home well after 1am, freezing, hungry, and very, very, very, very, very merry.

A bad day? Nope, probably the best Friday out in ages. Really cheered me up, I don't think I've felt this happy in a long time ;-)

I'll publish some piccies if I get permission from those involved...

Now, this one I'm not sure about. It looks like the toilets at Hogheads. And as to why the door is damaged.....

Picture
The man himself, Mr Avins. And if you look closely enough, you'll see him at the bottom of his glass. No really, you can!

Picture
I'm not saying anything about this one, for fear of death..

Picture
The Naval Babes out to show the world how to partey :-D

Picture
Jemma, in fits of laughter, obviously none too impressed by me, Phil, & Chris' dancing ability... ;-)

Picture
Jemma, I think, showing us how it's done :-D

More will appear as the days pass, and people forget this entry exists and I sneak the rest in without them noticing ;-)
