    There's always routes without the autobahn, but when you're doing ~500km in a round trip for a days work, the last thing I care about is how pretty the drive is :D

    I should mention that that has to fit into the 10 hour working window - And customers tend to want the full eight hours out of you..

    More, how quickly I can get home

    500 a day? Bloody hell.

    Traveling for work is the most annoying waste of time. Before I had a car way back when I'd be up at 430 for a walk, bus, train and a walk for a 730 start. Ugggh.

    Using a a switchbot and a smartplug in tandem (along with a bit of Home Assistant magic) to make a device with an awkward soft toggle on/off button reliably turn on and off remotely. Only a little thing, but very satisfying to see it work.

    If I can do a commute on a train, I'm not that fussed about it. Mostly because I can do almost anything else while on the train. ~500 was the most common round trip, but 2-300 wasn't uncommon either. Anything over that, though, was very much a case of staying in a hotel for however long was necessary.

    Roof almost finished, scaffolding has to stay up so painter can come in, but no more noise, crashing around.

    That's one of the main reasons why I insisted when I signed the contract for my current job that I'll work from home unless I travel to a client.

    It's my birthday today, and this is the cake I've been given:

    That's not even the best bit: I also got a birthday wishes video from no lesser celebrity than Paul Chuckle himself.

    Life is good!

    Let me be absolutely clear: I'm liking the cake, not the Paul Chuckle bit!

    Happy burfday, G.

    Happy Birthday. I've totally got a soft spot for the CB too. My cousin used to watch it after school, so I would watch it with him.

    For everything wrong with it, I still live in a country where I can download Crysis 2 in half an hour because I'm bored and want to blast aliens.

    Happy 60th :D

    Wasn't today, but last week. Got 10% pay rise and 10% bonus announced at work, although the bonus comes with limitations -_- Will make the 18% payrise I'm going to ask for easier!
