Wow it is indeed amazing how time flies when you're having fun 
Or when you're being ground into pulp by your soul-crushing job. 
Or too busy pretending to be somewhere else to pay much attention to RL 
So Warsaw was cool - very cold but very pretty. Also some wonderful food - the Polish are into their game so I had wild boar, venison, goose, duck. Not exactly a place for veggies. But cheap as chips - a meal that would've cost £50 in London was only about £20 over there. Went into the palace and wandered about the rest of the old town, peeking into churches and checking out the monuments. Sampled some interesting vodkas and a very tasty Polish porter. Also brought back some mead which I haven't tried yet.
Then off to a small UK freeform LRP con called Consequences which was a bit of a mixed bag. Met some lovely people and played some cool board games but the LRPs themselves were largely disappointing. The highlight was getting to play a Star Trek Federation captain (and wear a Next Gen red uniform) in a game which played out very much like Carry On Star Trek. I was definitely the straight man, but that suited me fine
Back at work things are continuing to get worse. The Powers That Be have decided to try and oust our CTO (and my boss), but not only does he have six months notice but he doesn't want to go and they don't have any sort of plan to try and see us through the interim. Or apparently any plan for when he's finally gone. And since our other techie is on two months sabbatical that leaves me holding the shit-filled can for the forseeable future. Except they won't give me any authority (or resource) to actually get anything done. So after New Year I'll probably have to quit, or otherwise go completely mental .
Xmas though has been a much-needed respite. I volunteered to cook for the folks for the first time, rather than the usual vice versa. I boned up on my Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay and thankfully it...
