Fridays, at the moment, are very much "see how many laptops we can refurbish" day.
We're the only people working in our bit of the Town Hall, so it's quiet and opportunities for things to "crop up" needing our attention are extremely limited.
We spend the day refurbing donated laptops which we then donate to people on low incomes. Fortunately, the donated laptops in question are mostly from one organisation, this makes it much more efficient to go through the process. My part of the process: QA and readying for sending out, is much quicker with half a dozen identical laptops than a varied bunch.
Anyhow - let's just say that me and the BBB are now pretty efficient in our processing of said machines.
By 4pm, I was just finishing off allocating 12 laptops (we've got a bit of a waiting list, unfortunately) and BBB had done all he could reasonably do to get the next bunch ready.
So we locked up and left the building.
We didn't even talk about our next move, we headed round to Wolf on the Corner.
It was slightly less busy than last week, even taking into account the slightly earlier time we arrived. There were two casks on (Downlands Pale, 4% ish and Pig and Porter Porter 5%) so even the choice of beer is an unspoken one.
He got a table, I got the beer and we relaxed.
Our job isn't physical (beyond the dragging 7 populated laptop bags up the stairs, or emptying the rubbish) but we definitely got satisfaction from the day of "a job well done" which allowed us to relax and really enjoy the first pint, especially.
The last drink was Paulaner Salvator - the perfect "fuzz-inducing" relaxant before heading home.
During none of our post-work trip did we need to discuss what came next - the perfect trip!
