Beautiful tasting of Italian wines at the office this evening.

Sort of makes up for my boss' complete lack of proper reflection these past few days.

Took 2 almost-finished bottles home.

I'll let him hang himself, it's not worth the effort to do otherwise…

In any case, good luck convincing China about that.

2 bottles of Lascombes 2009 are mine!

Rather change the locks once than carry half a brick around for the rest of my time here.

This guy who says everything's easy re: our database but who seems never to have designed a relational DB from scratch before…

Really hard not to flip a table during those meetings.

Ethernet in the office is behind a stricter firewall because of the network drives. VPN blocked and everything logged.

Wifi on the Thinkpad's been iffy all day. As in, I have to turn it off and on every 5 minutes.

So maybe I'll just stick with the MBA in the office…

2 weeks in, I’m finally doing the orientation session.

Which will probably involve a lot of propaganda, and NK-levels of boasting about how secure their network is(n’t).

I might well do that…

That bloody church blasting music again.
