Less than ideal timing

Well, I turn my back for five minutes and the entire country descends into frenetic politicking. The good news is that I should be fully ensconced in my new job by the middle of next week; the bad news is that it seems entirely possible that the workload will be such that I will feel like I have been knocked into the middle of the week after. So we shall see, nous verrons...

On the other hand, now that the working time directive decision has gone against us, maybe I'll be working 48 hour weeks and comuting home on the 5.30 pig from Heathrow.
