Work Day Eleven - heads down, tails up (cabeça para baixo, rabos-se)

Back into work with a vengeance - two weeks left in theory but in practice we need to have everything pretty well complete by the end of this week, as we have presentations to interest groups on Monday and Tuesday next week.  No trips planned for this coming weekend, we might need the time.

The day was largely spent individually, working through the various components of the presentations we've agreed to do. From time to time we'd break off for a discussion on some finer point but for much of the day the only noise was keyboards being tapped and Karen on the phone.

Around 4:30 Laerte called in, apologising he could only stay for thirty minutes (as often happens this turned into an hour which was good for us).  We walked him through our early versions of the deliverables and had a pretty good discussion with him about them.  He's coming back tomorrow to finish off as he really did have to leave before we were fully done.

We headed home around 6:30, which is early for us but we wanted to try and get dinner in before the team meeting at 8.  Some people like going out after but I have to say I've found going to bed on a full stomach a good way of not sleeping well. So we had some food across the way and got back just after 8 to find everyone waiting for us - most unusual, we've come to expect things to start 10-15 minutes later than the agreed time!  However we weren't last.

We all had a good discussion on our various projects and also the activities of next week, when we do our final presentations and have other meetings and activities.  Sad to think we are rushing towards the end but there you are.

And that was that for the day - and be forewarned, the next few are probably going to be similar!
