Was given the whole day off to be part of a group of guinea-pigs that were vigorously and rigorously tested today. Wonder if the objective was whether they could make us break down from the stress they put us under.

Was such a shock to the system when I had left the examination system so, so, so many aeons ago. But hey, I survived, bonded with new friends in new branches of the civil service, got free meals, and a Borders voucher to boot.

Plus... most importantly.
I developed a very healthy respect for Lab Rats today.

Run, Hamster... Run........
