The Chair of the Residents' Association has emailed me the draft of the latest news letter, which is a good thing, because a few things have evidently slipped past the spell-chequer.

My particular favourite is the use of 'intimated' for 'intimidated' - it sort of changes the whole tone of the article about the brothel in one of the streets!

One of my new office colleagues (from an office of four, I'm now in an office of three) is something of a plant afficionado - we have a veritable wall of foliage around the desk, which is kinda awesome to behold. I do wonder how quickly he might notice if more plants were added on a surreptitious basis; have this vision of the entire floorspace ending up covered with a dense forest of yucca, ferns and cheese plants :-)

I can barely think straight - have been working more or less flat out since 8am this morning (lunch excepted), trying to write a collection of 12 user reports that have never been done quite this way before.

The urgency stems from the fact that they were requested on 5 October, but Project Manager didn't pass them on to me until 5pm on Monday. They were due on Tuesday, which quite simply couldn't be done.

Anyway. They're done now, 24 hours late. User not impressed.

My brain is fried.
