Cycled to work in dry weather again. That makes three days in a row.
If things carry on like this I may have to consider washing the bike.

Dry and the sun is currently shining in my front window.
Calmac are putting out warnings of disruption tho' and hail showers are forecast.
Went down to the local Calmac office and booked return trip in a couple of weeks for an appointment in Oban. I am planning to travel 2 days before the actual appointment just to make sure I get there in time. Good job I have family over there I can stay with.
The office has clearly marked a one way system but I had to fight my way out the exit as tourists were determined that did not apply to them. Surprising number of tourists wandering around despite the weather.

Just been told my 'desk' won't be ready until tomorrow lunch, so been advised not to come into the office tomorrow (I have a sit/stand desk). Good job we moved as the other Team is in the old office clearing out today. The colleague organising the moves just said 'I turned a blind eye to the H&S when you moved down - you aren't supposed to move anything - I just chucked a box on my chair, popped the monitors and docking station on top, and wheeled the lot down via the lift to my new desk. Then went back for the desk pedestal - far quicker than labeling everything up, and hoping the "moving team" shift it.

@fossyant - I did that when we moved campus sites; put everything into my car long before the 'official' movers collected peoples' boxes, stored them, lost them, re-found them, lost them again, and eventually delivered the last few ten months after we were supposed to move.
I've moved desks/offices a couple of times and just take the stuff round on a wheeled crate I have. Much easier.

A nice four hour ride, meeting friends for a pub lunch yesterday . Warmth from sun was lovely.

When we moved in (old building into a brand new one), all my 'stuff' went missing for weeks - along with other staff's gear - at least I had my laptop. Last time I moved offices, I just wheeled my stuff upstairs. I believe the office Marketing are moving into is a right mess !

They're clearly not very good at marketing then
If it was me I'd have got the best office, made sure it was pristine, moved and half-inched your coffee machine long before you'd realised it'd gone. Not that I ever use one.
You'd have to come into the marketing office for a coffee, where I'd take the opportunity to 're-educate' you on the absolute supremacy of marketing, rather than any other profession

And being an accountant, I'd just itch my chin, and fall over laughing. PS they are all kids in our Marketing Team - I won't miss the state they leave the kitchen in. We're more 'mature' in the new office (aka old).

@fossyant - "Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business." Peter Drucker 😊
My Dad was an accountant and wanted me to follow him into the profession. Coming from a business background and post-graduate education sideways into marketing I've taught and done finance, but prefer what I do now. It's more fun than a pile of spreadsheets and discounted investment appraisal calculations.
