Had a whole bunch of photos kicking around for ages. So, here they are:

post a commentAnother fun packed week begins! Well, already Wednesday, somehow. Good times at scotweb with the boys, mainly smacking sandy down. I’ve linked the boys up over on the right there, should help their google rank a wee bit.
Have been organising myself for graduation aswell, got my white bow tie and a nice new white shirt. Booked a place for a meal on the evening, settled on The Grain Store after The Outsider was already booked up. The ceremony is on the morning of Wednesday next week, then its off the to the Informatics department reception at the Royal College of Surgeons in the afternoon and then the meal in the evening. Man, thats gonna be a kerazy day.
Its also Kerry’s birthday tomorrow, hope she likes what I got her. Alex and I have also got to find a new flat in amongst all the other stuff at the moment.
Just worked both Saturday and Sunday at waterstones. I’d forgotten how much of a killer that is, man I’ll be glad when I’m just Monday to Friday at scotweb.
Birthday meal on Friday night was good fun. Eight of us in the end went to Pancho Villas for a terrific feed. The plan was to go kerazy dancing at Evol afterwards but we were all far, far too full. Ended up mooching around to Opium (predictably) and then Frankensteins (which was uber cheese tastic).
This feels like the first time I’ve had time to relax since about last Tuesday. First I had the waiting and trauma of interview and then results on the same day. Then back to work, then straight off to Kerry’s parents. Then straight back to new job, all in between old job.
Waterstones have a ridiculously long notice period of four weeks, even for part-timers. While I work that off I’ve started at the mighty scotweb part-time 10-3 Monday to Friday. So, its scotweb for half the day then waterstones for the other half and then waterstones on Saturday and Sunday. Thankfully my shifts at the ’stones go down to two evenings a week next week, which will make it a bit more manageable.
Scotweb is pretty cool, the day I arrived three brand new shiny emacs arrived. One of them is now mine, along with a brand new chair! woo! I spent today and yesterday installing all the software I need and getting to know their system. In a bizzare stroke of coincidence Alex who I work with there is the owner of this site which I blogged in the past as a ‘nice site’, curiouser and curiouser. Alex’s brother James also works at scotweb and has a blog here and was in the year above me at university, oh and then there’s sandy.
Kerry and I saw these chaps in the meadows last Thursday. They’re the Royal Company of Archers and had a whole section of the meadows cordoned off for their competition. They were firing proper hefty arrows an impressively long way at a wee target.
I got the job

forgot to blog it in the pre-common riding chaos. More on that later…
Hey everybody,
To celebrate me hitting the big TWO-THREE I’m going to go for a feast of mexican fun at Pancho Villas.
This Friday (the 25th) at 8pm.
Hopefully with some dancing and shenanigans at Evol afterwards in the Liquid Rooms. Please email me to let me know if you’re coming to the dinner so we can book. Hope to see you all there.
Olly & Kerry
Off to Kerry’s parents in selkirk for the Selkirk Common Riding. Back on sunday. Laters!!
I also had a job interview today for ScotWeb. They’re a web design company that does some of their own e-commerce on the side. Very nice people and a very nice company. I should hear from them tomorrow at the earliest…. I want this job!
