Just a quick one.

Went on a replica East Indiaman sailing ship on Monday night with people from work. Had a guided tour with a nice Swedish lass (it's a Swedish ship). www.soic.se

I have made shiny gallery trails for kiddies tomorrow. They are focussed on Chinatown in London. We have a China-based family activity on tomorrow so these will keep them amused (quiet maybe??).

Spent time chasing images for the new gallery.

I know someone in the new Big Brother 8 which started tonight. We don't have a tv, but it is times like these I would really love one. I don't even like Big Brother!

I have discovered Facebook. I have found all sorts of people I went to school with, including a girl who I remember fondly but had not seen since I walked out the gates nearly 10 years ago. Thank you internet!

That is all. ;-)

Update...

It's been a busy few weeks. The jobs are going well.

Duty Managering is relatively easy, and I have slotted right in. I completed a full evacuation of the building on Thursday. It was a suspicous package evacuation (one that no alarm sounds) and all proceded well until the real fire alarm was activated! It was an accident on the part of a colleague, but it proved to be very confusing for some people and very comical for me. According to my boss I did very well. He was impressed that I went straight to the fire panel when the alarm went off (it shows where the alarm has been set off). I got 67 people out of the building and accounted for in under 8 minutes. Not bad, huh?? ;-)

Thursday was also Scott's birthday! I had arranged with a friend from his work, Dan (I have him as a friend on MySpace which proved VERY handy!!) that we would meet him at a restaurant in Brick Lane. Dan asked around at Scott's old law firm to see who wanted to join us. All in all there were 9 of us. A lovely night had by all.

Picture researching on Wednesday went ok. I did not have the curator around to bounce ideas off, but it progressed well. I have a meeting next Wednesday at 2pm, so I will be able to get more done before then.
