Heroics and Venomous Things

Fairly regular day today: Did more heroic network route organisation, much to the acclaim of members of our Santiago Office currently working in Colombia. Finally cleared away the last of the mess of last weekend’s rewiring (okay, so it took a week, but it was out of sight!)

I was supposed to be having lunch with Owen but he called me at the last minute to postpone: A customer had (allegedly) found something venomous in some produce they had bought at the retailer for which he works. As the leader of the team which deals with such incidents he had his hands full, so we rearranged for tomorrow (when the venomous thing will hopefully have been located and stepped on (or disproved) and the panic will be over.) He did however keep me apprised of the goings on throughout the afternoon which was most entertaining.*

Claire cooked some (too much, actually) tagliatelle for dinner tonight and we chatted for a while about stuff. It started off with her fretting over what to wear for the first day at her new job but ended up as a discussion of interpersonal communications in small/medium enterprises.

Spent the rest of the evening researching a comment for Charlie Foxtrot’s latest post before realising the time and heading for bed.

Goodnight.

* Yes, that paragraph is deliberately vague. The incident in question is, strictly speaking, company confidential so the details have been obscured to protect my source from googling.

EDIT: Oh, no, I can't believe I spelt venomous wrong in the title! Now corrected.
