h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

one head is more than enough - in particular when you are

How useful. One can be sleeping while the other w*rks!
Or they could pit themselves against each other in a game of Scrabble or......

That I can imagine, Pierce. But not all of us.....

aargh? what's this? don't make me go through the backlog

Sissy! What doesn't kill you will make you stronger - and a bit of backlog never killed anyone!

says who

and why would i even want to be stronger?

Hope things are still going well in your position of power, Ti, regardless of how many heads you may have!

Thanks!

There's an awful lot of more I need to learn - and suddenly the end of October (when His Majesty will resign) seems awfully close!

Don't say that. I've another birthday before then.
and DON'T WORRY. /We/ know you can do it. Tell 'em we're on your side, so who can be against you??????

aye if things go haywire you can always rely on us to come to the rescue

that should scare them enough, i'd say

Teehee! Wouldn't want to be in T's shoes if /I/ went to the rescue...

You have been warned, Don'r it up, gel.

You got through it once. That was the scariest bit. It will soon become second nature.

Of course it will. Anyway, who could go wrong with the Team behind you? (Pushing or hiding?)

Right, today was the last day the King reigned - he's decided to be on vacation until 30 November (all those saved weeks from the past). After that, he's officially retired.

And I'll be out of office for the next three days, trying to learn more about the system, the setups, and so on.

Monday morning next week, I will get my own room instead of a desk in a large room shared by many others.

I'll get a view of the sky looking out the window instead of a brick wall.

And I will, no doubt, be facing an overflowing mail inbox...

I can do this - I can remain calm - I can remain in control of things despite things going haywire in the past three days - I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.

This is exciting. You'll do great! Your own office. WooHoo!

Thanks Hippy!

Am now thoroughly exhausted mentally - have scribbled and scribbled and scribbled, because I couldn't possibly memorize everything we dissected during the course. And made notes of 'things I need to do/check up on Monday.

But at least I've got a general idea of the various setups - you can't create C until you've created subparts A and B. And if I get error message Y it means I've made a mistake while setting up X.

I think the various consultants are informed if any of their customers is in the building because I came across two of ours, and both of them already knew I was attending this course.

One thing most of the consultants seem to have in common is a kind of nervous high level energy - zap!zap!zap! OK, sure - it makes it cheaper to bring in a consultant since they charge per hour but it makes it a bit difficult to watch over their shoulder trying to figure out/memorize what they're doing.

It sounds like you need a quiet weekend to recharge your batteries.

Are you feeling more comfortable about it all yet?

Comfortable? Are you kidding? My brain is aching to check up what functions we use and how - I can barely wait until Monday!

Good for you! Not that I'm a bit surprised. I'll repeat, you are going to be great at this job.

I hate it when work gets to interesting!

My latest obsession is trying to create a bit of text to say that one particular computersystem doesn't have to jump through the hoops proving it's regulatory excellence, because all it is is a glorified control panel, electronic turning knobs, essentially.
