My busy week last week

It's nice when you have a public holiday at the end of a really busy week. Last week I did 5 beta exams (hopefully I passed at least two of them!), ran the SQL User Group on Thursday lunchtime, featured in the .Net User Group on Wednesday night (although I didn't go - they just talked about me), watched the Arsenal-ReaMadrid game on Thursday morning, had some big meetings on Tuesday (the only day I was at work all day), had Samuel (my 8yo) go on his first 'no parents' camp for a couple of nights, and got to be a witness in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday morning (just before I got to the exam place to sit one of my exams).

I guess it wasn't really all that busy - but all week it felt like I should be doing something else. Study mainly.
