Re: MORE random stuff about your day
There's always one day when you genuinely couldn't be arsed to work. You might say it everyday but just one day you actually mean it. Well today is that day. The problem is so does the rest of member on my team. Gonna be a long day.

I started the day's celebrations by going for an MRI scan. I now know where the Aphex Twin finds his musical inspiration.
Congrats!!!!
is that what your recent trip was for?
You come at the Queen, you best not miss.

Thank you!!
Yes, we had the long weekend in Munich to celebrate it, and we're going out for dinner this evening too, first to Altrincham Market House, and then to a nice little Belgian bar called Mort Subite.
We've got a short break in Athens coming up too, I'm working there for a bit next month, and CatnHat is coming along for a few days, which should be lovely.

It's the time of year when work travel goes a bit mad - I'm in the Gulf all next week, first Abu Dhabi and then Bahrain. Back for a few days, then off again to Greece and Cyprus.

The name might well be a reference to the strong beer and absinthe they serve. Lethal stuff.
The bar's actually in what used to be the Altrincham mortuary. It has a nice decadent ambience to it, like something out of la belle epoque. Lots of heavy red and black drapes and curtains.
A bit like the black lodge, with beer.

Home prices in the San Francisco Bay Area. And you wonder why I bought in Oregon. . .
I live in Alameda Co. and grew up in San Mateo Co.

If I told you the current prices of houses in the specific neighbourhood where I grew up (and where Mum and Dad lived till 1996), you'd faint.
Nonsense to the aggressiveness, I've seen more aggression on the my little pony message board......I mean I was told.

What does $1,180,000 get you in Santa Clara? A burned-out shell?

The thing is, except for some affluent enclaves, the Peninsula or San Mateo County was where firefighters, cops, blue collar/skilled trade employees and folks who worked in Aerospace or nascent Silicon Valley with families had modest houses. Sure, there was Hillsborough and Atherton, two of the most affluent communities in the US here, but by and large, it was working class. My mom and dad went a year to community college before getting jobs. One person in my family had ever gone to college before us kids came.
