Knowing now that it was one of us, I would like to know. It will certainly influence my interaction (or non-interaction) with this individual.

>>We shouldn't even joke about that. Andy is a good guy and I have never had a problem with him, other than one time when he was upset over something I said to his wife. I have had some dustups with Marcia, mainly over politics plus a couple of zingers I thought were uncalled for, but I certainly respect her expertise. They sent me a copy of their "1001 Things" book when it came out, gratis. I have no problem with either one of them.

>I'm having weird days here . Working on site for a change and I can't believe what late starters everyone is. I've got the pin for the burglar alarm posted into my phone as I am regularly first here if I get here any time before 9.00 . I'm used to places where some people are usually in by 7.00.

That is my recollection of London as well. I have always been an early riser (not this early -- I have been fighting a cold and my sleep patterns are out of whack) and was generally among the first to arrive at Sainsburys head office, almost always the first in IT. It wasn't to score points, it was just my natural rhythm. The guy I reported to generally zipped in on his motorbike around 10 ;-) It seems to be the same in big cities here. One of the big book publishers relocated HQ from New York City to Orlando and the CEO said it was refreshing to schedule an 8 a.m. meeting and have everyone show up ;-)

It sounds like the new job is going fine. That's great to hear!
