Oct. 23rd, 2008 08:54 pmI'm almost speechless... Dad came home from work a little while ago, and just sat down to go through the pile of post which has been accumulating on his desk for the last few days. And in the pile is an envelope with my name on it, obviously left on his desk so he could pass it on to me.
So I open the letter, and inside is a letter from an apprentice whose name I recognise but I can't put a face to! Basic gist of the letter is to say that he's handed in his notice and is leaving the company, but he wanted to thank me for getting his apprenticeship started with the company, it's been very benficial to him for the last two years.
This is one of the nicest things I've ever gotten - makes me think that maybe I wasn't a complete flop in the HR Department!!

Aww - what great timing!
It's going all right. Took a bit of getting used to, but I'm settling in - the two hours of driving every day is a bit much though. :(
He was Lancelot in episode 5, and he was very good. It's a great family show, quite fun, and fits the Doctor Who slot nicely. Definitely give the first two episodes a go - the first is a bit slow to start.

Date: 2008-10-27 09:51 pm (UTC)Two hours of driving each day is a pain in the backside, there's no way else of putting it (especially now the clock's gone back!) Do you hvae someone in the car with you or are you on your own (have a vague memory of an LJ post you made saying there was someone esle going that way, but am too lazy to go back and check...)
Will add Merlin to download list - might not get it watched anytime soon (did I mention I'm going to Australia??) but will watch it at some point!!
And now, off tochange into jammies, get compfy in bed and watch new ep of Spooks!! (BBC NI are showing it an hour and a half later than the UK, so I need to get off-line before spoilers start getting posted!!!!)
