Very laid back atmos, a late start, casual clothing , free wireless internet access allowed on my mac at work (for research purposes, natch:) , cakes for the DBA I'm replacing and a full-on visit from Santa inviting everyone to the Orange/T-Mobile broadband merger piss-up tonight.....

and the clincher, someone said 'oohh you've got a photoId already, they only give those to people who are going to be here for a long time" :)

Pinch me, I've died and gone to heaven...oh and I move back into my room in the million euro flat in the poshest bit of town next week.....

The only downside, my mouth hurts from smiling so much :)
