BMI

for no other reason than my results were a lot better then some of the other people in the department here are the results of a check your weight/height/fat machine we found in Boots the other day.

Weight: 14st 2lb 89.9kg
Height: 5'11.2" 1.81m

which gives a B.M.I. 27.4
the formula being Weight/(Height)^2

which makes me overweight :-(
where the ideal being [18.5] 9st 7lb (60.9kg) to [25.0] 12st 12lb (81.9kg)
which is a bit crazy as I wasn't even down to 10st when I was very thin back during my university days.

Body Fat 24.9% which is good (average being 25.6% and it getting to be a problem at 32.1% (for men))
Body Fat Mass 22.3kg

and we found a nice little calculator to check the results

so looks like the gym has been helping :-)

New broom

So It's all about to change around.

The last two of our line manager are now going to be the new CTO (the newest guy who has been with us not 6 months yet) and his deputy (who's been at the company 3+ years). And it looks like some of the work that the four of them (including my old line manager and the old CTO) used to do doing technical management of the client will be given out to us (the rest of the tech department) to do. probably I might add for the same amount of money as before.

and guess what we have to do our MOT career reviews again, joy! I'm going to have to answer questions like

What do you think you could have done better and what has stopped you?
What do you think you’ve done well and how do you know?
What are your career goals and what would help you move forward?
