	<description>The diaTribe blog is our occasional take on life, the universe and everything. Observations on current affairs, the environment, politics, humour and music/gig reviews. Travel diary and extreme sports stories, along with the usual rants/raves are also chucked in for good measure.</description>

<p>15 years ago yesterday, I stepped out of a taxi in Basingstoke and walked through the doors of Barclays Mercantile to begin my first day as a shift operator.</p>
<p>15 years later &#8211; to the day, I watched the launch of the new Centrex Website.  This website represents the culmination of many months of hard work for the all folks involved &#8211; including me.  I&#8217;ve worked around 50-60 hours a week for over 6 months to make this website a reality.</p>
<p>Where does the time go&#8230;?</p>
