Today, I went into work early because of the tube strike and had a great time at work. I made a spreadsheet for contacts from business cards from an exposition for ModernGov (a division of GovNet Communications). I then wrote new email copies for events in June 2009 for the final email that would be sent to all delegates. Next, I created surveys for events next week via surveymethod.com. These surveys will be sent out to the participants of the events afterwards for their feedback and comments. I then amended times on website that did not match to the event agenda. Before I left, I received a list of events that I will be attending (at least one per week):
- Thursday, June 18, 2009 - ICT in Education: Shaping a New Generation in Learning
- Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - Preventing Violent Extremism and Building Cohesive Societies
- Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - The National Information Security in the Public Sector Annual Conference
- Wednesday, July 1, 2009 - The National Obesity Conference: Reversing the Tide of Obesity - Working Together to Create an Active, Healthy Nation
- Thursday, July 9, 2009 - National Curriculum Reform: Creating a Curriculum Fit for the 21st Century
I ate a light lunch at McDonalds where I learned that there are bussers that will take your garbage from your table - you do not have to clear your own garbage at the McDonald's in London.
I also realized that many people say "You Alright?" for "How Are You?" and I realized that quid is another word for the pound (like the buck for the dollar).
I then went toward Tower Hill for our walking tour of Jack the Ripper. Before the tour, I went to this awesome BBQ restaurant and had ribs and BBQ Chicken. It was absolutely delicious (the Britons also say "absolutely" alot). We then headed to our tour.
We saw part of the wall that use to encompass central London. We also saw 3 of the 5 sites where Jack the Ripper killed and removed the organs of his victims. We also saw various places where they knew he was there too as well as some olden bathrooms where you have to go in underground to use. We also saw some great views of the Gherkin (which I found out is called that because it looks like a gherkin - like a cucumber/pickle or zucchini). Jack the Ripper killed 5 people within 10 weeks (2 in one night) and still is unknown who he really is - there are some stipulations and assumptions - even one linking toward the Royal Family, but he is not known.
I am off to France tomorrow (after attending the Professional Development Seminar and paying my rent).
Cheers & Bonsoir!
