LOVEFiLM week one

So, for those who missed the memo - I left the BBC on the 7th of October, clutching the remaining contents of my desk (a small stack of Perl books, a caddy of Yorkshire Tea and an Apple keyboards) and an evidently hastily bought leaving card (judging by the suspicious correspondence of 'people not in on Friday afternoon' and 'people who didn't sign the card', and the lack of a leaving present... ah well.)

Monday I started at LOVEFiLM in Acton (two stops FURTHER away from home) for two weeks of getting my head round the inner workings of the despatch system for their warehouse, so I can go and be the on-point man in the warehouse (and help develop and maintain it some more). Acton's great - nice office, ruled over by Georgie who appears to be receptionist, office manager and everything else; also ex-colleagues from both Yahoo! and the BBC. All of whom seemed genuinely pleased to have me on the team.

It's also quite surprising how many people in the first week said 'I've been to one of your talks at the London Perl Workshop' :D

So - one more week... (which I can expense, travel-wise, as Acton is not my primary place of employment) and then I'll be commuting 20 mins across Peterborough.

I probably ought to earn enough Polish to say good morning, though :D
