A message just through from Pete. His first day at work. Read about his adventures as he gets lost and breaks a fence. Peter writes below:
..... I found out today, that cambrdige is a small, and fragile place.I was planning on walking along the bus route to work and possibly jumping on a bus. It took me about half an hour to get to work, and I was between stops when I watched the bus go past.I had my trusty streetmap, and found that if I went down a side street it would get me to the industrial park, which bordered the business park I wanted to get to. Taking the shortcut I ended up walking down a long driveway which looked like it was heading straight to my building, it turned right and there was a small path through the light brush. Looks like someone had done this before. So I took it through, and it continued onto another path that ran paralel to a wooden fence, which on the other side was my building.I walked up the path a bit, but it didn't look like there would be a gate to go through, and where the fence was there was more prickly bushes. Finally I spotted a brace on the fence that looked like it could be climbed. Steeling myself and slinging my laptop over my suited shoulder I climbed up, broke the top of the fence off, and looking down in dismay at the mistletoe-like scrub on the other side. I came too far to turn back now, so with a mightly leap, I missed all the mistletoe and landed square on another small plant. A quick look around and then a brisk 100m walk to my work, all in time for my 8am meeting, which ... isn't on today. And none of the Sydney guys are in yet.At least I'm payed by the hour.
