wellinghallThis weekend, I'll be going to Glasgow, for the UK actuarial profession's Life Convention 2006. The interested, or merely terminally sad, can download a .pdf file here:

I'm not really looking forward to it - I've been to Glasgow three times before, and suffered various disasters each time. This trip will mean two Easyjet flights; checking into an identikit hotel; two-plus days of bland conference food, drinking far too much tea, and eating too many biscuits; and being herded from room to room; all in the name of Continuing Professional Development. Most of the break-out sessions do actually look as though they might be rather good; the plenaries, rather the opposite.
What with this, having to make up for today's absence from work, and an appointment next Wednesday evening, I'm not going to be around much for the next week or so. However, I think I have now caught up on all my LJ posts and comments; and I will do my best to catch up on emails before I go.
