Long Day

[Monday 10th March]
So I was now into my last week before our two-and-a-bit week holiday in Japan, and with utter predictability work turned rather chaotic as everyone heaped piles and piles of things upon me that needed to get done before I left. I sometimes wonder if it is really worth going on holiday at all, as it often ends up meaning you just have to cram all the stuff you would have done while you're away into the week or two before you leave.

Left the office some time after 7, then went home, had dinner, and did about another four hours work at home - it was after midnight by the time I threw in the towel. Our team has recently moved to a different part of the office, and my new desk is right in the middle of a big open plan area, so I seem to get "randomised" even more than I used to previously - people don't really need to go out of their way to come and ask a question now. I think it's the first time I've ever really worked in a truly open plan space like the one I'm in now, and the fact that there's a constant level of noise to deal with is taking some real getting used to.
