Grrr, the IT group at work forcefully rebooted one of my work machines to install a patch, giving me only half an hour's notice and no opportunity to say "no, later". Trouble is, that machine has a fan problem (okay, a pen lid stuck in a non-essential fan to stop it rotating because it rattles) and whenever it reboots it sits at the BIOS screen saying "Fan failure - press F1 to continue" until I (or someone else) physically goes into my office and presses F1. There doesn't seem to be any way to disable this fan check. Fortunately I'm going out that way anyway this evening but it is still a bother.
I had a very pleasant walk to work and back yesterday through the arboretum (apart from the fact that it rained on me in Redmond). It was nice to leave my car at home for once but the entire journey took 70 minutes each way so I don't think I can afford the time to do that every day. I could shave quite a bit off that by cycling to the bus stop instead of walking but the walk through the woods was the best bit - I ought to try to find time to do that walk every week or two.
