AGM = Annual General Meeting. Supposedly constitutional requirement of the Association that we have a yearly meeting to report the state of finances, memebership and other issues to all residents.
Moving from four people sharing an office to three has definitely made a difference, I think. Although I've been most ambivalent about the vexed question of, at one extreme, individual offices for each of us (my lack of enthusiasm for that prospect is mainly driven by the fatalist reasoning that there's no way it's going to happen) to completely open plan accommodation for all 41 staff in the department (I've worked in a similar sized open plan arrangement when I was in the civil service), I have to concede that the drop from four people sharing to three has been mostly beneficial in terms of the work environment thus generated.
Lasy week's SNAFU still bothering me, but things are currently coming in thick 'n fast such that I haven't really had time to dwell. Which is probably a good thing.
I'm finding Win 7 a little sluggish, and have been trying to tweak it to the max to see if that improves matters. But I *am* running it on an extremely low power PC, which is hardly helping. Ubuntu was definitely snappier.
