Long day in York

Working up North today and typing this from a hotel between Leeds and Pudsey – yes there is such a place! Nice enough hotel, all workmen in the restaurant and I had a couple of double-gin and tonics and scampi and chips. Ready for bed shortly, I am knackered.

Was up and out the house by 7.00am this morning and the run up to York was excellent so I was at the Designer Outlet roundabout by 10.15am and I wasn’t meeting anyone until 12.00pm so went into the Outlet centre. I could have spent quite a lot but didn’t, however, I found the white Ted Baker shirt I liked in my size at an absolute steal – £40.00 plus an additional 30% off – wasn’t going to turn that down!!

Actual work was fine – the manager I was meeting for the first intro session was quite hard to work with and the training with the Marketing team was fine as well. The new system we’re trying to release isn’t very intuitive and experienced Data Mining users are finding it hard work, I really need to find a solution or training delivery that’s going to make this easier for them. It was a really long day, we started at 1.30, 15 mins break and through to 5.00pm – v tired

Then hour drive to the hotel – traffic was painful but got here in one piece!

Might have an early night now as it will be a long day tomorrow no doubt.
