And a rider rode through it.

So I was asked to give feedback on my hardware manager three months ago and I did. It finally got released last week while he was on holiday. This led to a meeting today to try and convince me I was wrong and to change my ratings of him.

Or to put it another way the excrement hit the whirly thing, and I wouldn't say it all landed on me, but neither would I say it landed on him either. I got exactly what I expected - excuses and justifications. Somethings were taken away, but not by him. I still stand by what I said, but he went away feeling justified. Then all the other engineers agreed with me.

About the most I expect to happen is that I won't be asked to give feedback by him next year. Life goes on.

Still I had a nice journey back - some of it in sunshine, and I stopped to watch the horses for a good long while. Some lovely shots, but this random cyclist really makes this one for me!

I'm going to have a glass of wine and phone Sam now I think.
