Things have been a bit stressful the last few days. Today's the first day I can feel my zen-like calm returning. My team-mate who started at the same time as me was made redundant on Friday, so I've had the whole weekend to stress and obsess about my job security. Talking it out with the boss on Monday did help to allay some...
Micky ran the Weetbix Kids Triathlon today. I don't know what her time was, but she finished it which is the main thing. I think she was quite quick, but it's not a timed event - it's more about the kids participating and being outside and exercising. She's very pleased with herself right now.

We're going out to celebrate our achievements and hard work on our latest project today. It's really nice to finally work for someone that appreciates your efforts. I've never had a company treat me so well, even down to little things like checking that I'm doing okay. So I'm really looking forward to going out and socializing with my workmates (something pretty much...
