I would have reached my chargeable hours target for the year, had I been able to record over 30 hours of temporary time to a file number.

So, I now miss out on a 5% bonus (like they'd dish them out anyway this year...).

Escape velocity is defined to be the minimum velocity an object must have in order to escape the gravitational field of the earth, that is, escape the earth without ever falling back.

The object must have greater energy than its gravitational binding energy to escape the earth's gravitational field. So:

1/2 mv2 = GMm/R

Where m is the mass of the object, M mass of the earth, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of the earth, and v is the escape velocity. It simplifies to:

v = sqrt(2GM/R)

or

v = sqrt(2gR)

Where g is acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface.

The value evaluates to be approximately:

11100 m/s
40200 km/h
25000 mph

I didn't get paid today 🙁

(Our company finally moved into the 20th century [yes I do mean 20th] and have just started paying salaries by direct deposit rather than cheque. Mine's not turned up...I wonder whether the mortgage company will be so blase if they don't get their money...)

The new blood glucose monitors are ****ing huge!

Our new blood glucose monitors are pretty much the same size as the old ones, but these ones will use a different chip with an extended memory architecture and a faster I2C bus.

For the financial year 2008/09 against the financial year 2007/08 there were:
1263 more clients
1637 more enquiries

...which sounds very positive if you were in a commercial environment...except that it is for an advice centre.

Even more boringly, I have sent three more e-mails today than my normal daily average of 34. Interestingly, my current total of mails sent is at the same level as last week, even though it's a thursday today and I was out two days last week.

I hate Excel.
