New Digs

So today was the first day in the new office. Didn't get a working computer until midday but that was the only hitch. Got nearly all of my boxes unpacked.

I rode to work today as well. Got up a little before six and had a nice ride in now that the weather is warming up now. Its magpie season though so it can be a bit dicey in some spots. As you are riding along the magpies swoop in and attack you. The first thing you know is a thump to the back of the head or neck. The best thing you can do is just hunker down and ride out the follow up attacks. People have al sorts of bizarre ways of dissauding the maggies. Some people stick fake eyes on the top of their helmuts and swear by these. The funniest looking solution though is the people with a whole heap of plastic cable ties attached to their helmuts poking up like some bizarre echidna. I saw a lady this morning who must have been terrified of the maggies because she had at least 30 or 40 of these things poking up all over the shop.

I'm just about to log on to Dawn of War and play a few games with John, Russ and Greg for an hour or so.
