Work Summary

[davidn]

Here's a breakdown of what I've been earning money for this week.

Reading induction material:   2.00 hours
Browsing the Internet:       21.97 hours
Sorting out spreadsheets:     0.03 hours
Casually learning C++:        5.00 hours
Playing rounders and bowling: 8.00 hours

I had the immense good fortune to join the department the week it had its "Away Day", which involved a remarkably school-field-trip-like excursion to Banchory then Aberdeen, all at the expense of the University. As if they somehow thought the lack of other work wasn't enough.

I realise that I have now had what will probably remain as the best week at work of my life. I should really have appreciated it more while I was there.
