Long Day

Well, I managed to make quite the long day for myself today. I went to Derby (our sister city for Rolls-Royce in the UK) to present the work that I've been doing over the past 8 weeks. There was a flow conference that fit nicely with what I'd been doing, so I just gave a quick summary of my findings.

I'm happy to report that the presentation went pretty well. I'm unhappy to report that the trip back didn't.

I had to wake up at 5:00 am to catch Rolls-Royce's coach from Bristol to Derby. After a less-than-lovely 2 hour trip I managed to make it there. Unfortunately, I managed to miss the coach on the way back due to some faulty information. Oops.

Well, one taxi, three trains, and six hours later I managed to make it the 140 miles home. Oh, and did I mention the 1.5 mile walk from the train station back to my flat. That was nice. Really, really nice. But hey, I'm not bitter.

It's a good thing tomorrow's Friday.
