An Act of God has derailed your software. Collect £10 and do not pass go.

Guess where the software people are?

Manila.

Luckily they're all okay, and given the circumstances nobody really has a problem with the new release / test cases being late. (Also, there will be a corporate collection / donation for victims of the flooding, whether employees or not. How nice to work for an ethical company!)

So I was back to (offline) proofreading* today, YAY!

Also, actual boss is in after a week of evil viral thing: she seems very nice and has heard that I'm vastly overqualified. "Don't tell anyone," I pleaded.

I think they will let me come back post-holiday. So many books ...

*teledermetology, the Federal Reserve during the Great Depression, shipping law (search and seizure), seagrass ecology, Plato's Meno, Greek philosophy in early Christian theology, something utterly opaque -- with formulae -- about elasticity, courtship in Elizabethan poetry, early C20 Russia ...

It's lovely you enjoy your work ("werk"). I do enjoy reading the list of reading material. :)

Re: Manila. Oh, so it's YOUR fault.

One of my old companies had a major development centre in Manila. We did a lot of work with the Manila people, and in general they were lovely, if a bit clueless at times, and I have been hoping that they are all OK.

I'm so glad to hear a nice weekend turned into a nice Monday!
