FEW DAYS IN DUBLIN

The new career has meant a chance to travel (not just up to Hammersmith) but with the main office in Dublin we expect to be off to Ireland on a frequent basis throughout the year. 

So a nice early 5am start on Thursday, catching buses up to a busy Heathrow T1 and arrived with plenty of time for our flight. 

At least we got away on time and despite a bumpy flight arrived to find Dublin in daylight and not raining for once. Had to wait a little while for my colleague Fabrizio and catch our taxi into the port area which looked similar to Queens' Square Bristol, lots of nice town houses that probably host Accountants or Lawyers but also included our companies main office. 

The day was really informative and useful for me being only my 2nd week there, met everyone and struggled to remember all the names being shot my way. Thankfully found a telephone list and started building up a picture of who sat where. Took a short stroll around the redeveloped canal area for lunch, and look at work projects and background of PINS V3.3 & V4.

Stopping overnight locally in the Grand Canal Hotel and need to just crash and relax. Went for a walk around to find a local bar, but ended up back at the hotel for a bite to eat and crashed out in the room. 

FRIDAY

After a great nights sleep, woke up nice and relaxed, and ready for breakfast!!

Makes a nice change to shower, eat and relax with only a few mins walk required to get to the office in time for another long day, beats the crowded trains and tubes anyway.


Enjoyed the day, was able to chat with a few people about the expectations of the projects in front of me, have a look at some of the other ranges of products that I should be able to work on next week. Taken back a cut of code with me for Monday, as well as looking at a few online Web based products to help with the testing of PINS. 


Got away just after 4pm off to the Airport, and a delayed flight home which meant getting in after 9.30pm. Will enjoy another good night sleep this weekend.


Lets see how the next week goes...
