London Calling

just got word today that I'm apparently going to be based in the London office for work for at least part of next week, on somewhat of an impromptu trip. I got an apologetic speech that it's not the way it's usually done around here and that they'll usually give me advance notice, but that every once a year or so, all the right people that need to be in a discussion will all be free at the same time, like the stars aligning, so... off we go...

I'd like to think that I'll have enough time to see some of what the city looks like outside of just the office and buy souvenirs for all of you, but realistically, it's probably going to be a short and hectic business trip... We'll see....
