Kiss the Office Nerd

Some time ago I bought a couple of dice in a plastic box thing. They have instructions on them. One die has actions like "Kiss", "Fire", "Start a rumour about" and the other has people "The Office Nerd", "The Boss", "The Secretary".

The idea is that you throw them and then live your life that day by what they come up with. So...

Today I have to Start a rumour about my Potted Plant.

Which means that I have to buy a plant I suppose.

If you want me to roll the dice and determine your future, let me know.

Collecting My Thoughts

Back at work, home from Collectormania. I'm not sure I should confess to attending such things. But I like them and it's my blog. So there. In an effort to change the style slightly the organisers made us queue outside for two and a half hours in the freezing cold. Even my natural bonhomie is severely tested under such circumstances.

Then we got inside and were allowed to queue some more. And all for a scrawl on a picture which costs so much that I'm too embarrased to reveal the amount. I keep wondering how the stars feel; having to meet up with nerds like me and sign pictures of themselves in their prime. I suppose the money helps though. I'm quite pleased that I never really had a prime like that.

The highlight was definitely Carrie Fisher, although she didn't say that much to me. I don't think me explaining how to spell "Rob" really helped a great deal.

A Legend Writes For Me

Carrie (I feel I can call her that now) filling in my autographed picture. You can just read my name on the photo. Kewl eh?

Almost as nice as Hull

Took number one son to his new place of study today. He has been forbidden to attend Hull for obscure family tradition reasons.

If you are going to live somewhere that isn't Hull, it might as well be somewhere nice.
I've told him that we will always have a place for him back home. At least until the lodger moves in...

Project Meetings - and something big coming up soon

Had a bunch of student project meetings this morning. Good progress being made. Keep up the good work folks. Then off to Doncaster to give a presentation about how to do projects (I'll put the slides up tomorrow).

I'm presently planning a big upheaval. And not because I've been eating a lot of rich food lately. The whole Rob Miles brand is being overhauled and things moved around. Keep watching this space. Or find something more useful/productive to do and do that instead.
