I found out why my Dell didn’t update the time properly – it was running quite out already. A month out in fact, it thought it was April.
Thursday consisted of heading to The Pack Horse for the Computing 50th Jubilee celebrations as they were holding a quiz about the history of computing. All the other teams had a big advantage over us given that they lived through most of it though :p. The celebrations continued on Friday with a giant buffet and free bar consisting of the specially brewed ales for the celebration. The night ended with a short but relaxed drink in The Library.
Saturday marked the arrival of Michelle’s sister Rosie so myself, Michelle, Rosie and Norm headed to Walkabout for lunch. It was (unsuprisingly if we had put any thought into it) a lot noiser than on a weekday and so probably a bad choice of venue but never the less the food was quite good. I had to run off to work the Saturday close soon enough though.
After work we headed off to find a petrol station deciding that Texaco was too expensive so we went to the BP in Crossgates. They were night pay window only though so we headed to the one on Otley Road so that we could go in store. They had closed both sliproads off the inner ring road however so we ended up on the Armley Gyratory! The roadworks are just stupid, closing both sliproads is an absolute joke, it doubles the length of your journey. Anyway, we managed to get a sandwhich in the end and headed back to my halls to eat given we were so close, then headed home.
Sunday I was on the close again, and we were actually fully staffed at least on the closing team which seems to make a refreshing change these days. Monday was yet another close, we were staffed for a normal weekday but because it’s Easter we were fairly busy which was flustrating when I was trying to get the close done. We still got out before 2 though.
Then yesterday I headed back to campus in time to catch a lunch at The Llama as it’s been far too long.
