Return to Castle Grayskull
As I indicated earlier there is crazyness afoot in the workplace, and the next bit of it starts promptly on Monday morning. I'll be working at our Reading offices all next week.
Basically, the part of the company I work for is looking to take a bunch of people aside to do a nine-month piece of work to move our processes closer to our customers. For reasons that I only partly understand, I've been picked to become part of the task force that will make it all happen. It's sizeable job - I'll be working on the team permanently, and so someone will have to do my normal role whilst I'm away. It's all rather exciting although at this stage I still don't have much of a handle on what the work will actually entail on a day-to-day basis.
I've had the last few days off work and, for a change, I've not actually wasted them. On Thursday I travelled to Bradford to spend the day in the fabulous National Museum of Photography, Film & Television and also managed to catch The Matrix Reloaded on the gigantic IMAX cinema screen whilst I was there.
No trip to the museum is complete without an hour in TV Heaven. Hundreds of episodes of shows from 1960s onwards are available to watch in your own little private viewing area - this time round I watched an edition of So It Goes, a rather good Not The Nine O'Clock News show from their first series, and an all-time classic episode of Hancock.
If you've never been to the museum, you really have to go - it's a treat!
