ellenscult | Jobs going in Doncaster

Just in case any of you are interested.

Terry Chapman is a director of a very small, friendly software company in Doncaster. (I know him because we catch the same train on a morning.) Of 5 programmers, 4 are musicians, several
are into martial arts, and a couple are into fast cars. The average age of people working there is in the mid-thirties. They're nice people. And they're looking for more nice people
to come work for them.

So if anyone is interested in applying for one of the jobs, read the info from Terry, below.

Thanks to Jo for a wonderful night out on Friday. The Royal Dragon does good food, even if it has a penchant for stuffing prawns in all available starters. ;) Ta muchly to Andy for alerting me to the presence of the Muppets boxed set in the HMV sale; I am now the proud owner of the very last copy they had. *big grin* Which I will be happy to lend out to people. And a big *helloooo!* to the many other folks who turned out to the meal it was great to see you all.

Watched more Buffy over the weekend, failed to go to Shul or to Makro or indeed to Orgasmic for lunch on Sunday. :( But I did get a whole load of dandelions dug out of the lawn, and I encountered an ants nest, which Jerry burned out. Then I burned out some more, just to make sure. It's not the whole ants nest, which will extend for quite some considerable distance under the gardens to either side of mine. But it was a nursery and full of flying ants, which are a Bad Thing^TM, so I don't feel overly bad about the slaughter. I will probably come back as an ant in my next life. *shrug*

Sunday evening was spent in the good company of

evieb, Stuart,

smorgasbord,

lucius101,

ravenlas and Elaine, doing final bits of character gen and getting to know backgrounds, etc, before the Werewolf game gets under way for real in a couple of weeks.
