Nothing (much) To Report

OK, OK, after a minor poking I thought it best to come back and try to explain the lack of posts.

Firstly, it’s January. I fecking hate January. It’s so long, and for 99% of january, it’s not payday. That in itself is enough to make anyone want to bury under the duvet and only wake up on the last working day of the month (and only then to check the bank account online)

Then…due to my own doing, for the last few months I’ve had to pay a rather large mortgage and all the trimmings on my own. It’s not cheap. So I’m trying to launch my own business of IT tomfoolery in the evenings. This is a rather large inconvenience as it eats into one’s drinking time rather considerably.

<shameless plug> Anyone need any IT support/development/advice in the Stroud area?</shameless plug>

That only leaves blogging time here at work. Whilst I am not against reclaiming some of my unpaid overtime this way, the situation here at odd community charity is now at the point of redundancy.

Being the IT dude, I of course, have access to peoples emails *cough* so I already know (99% sure) that I wont be made redundant by reading the confidential discussion going on. I also know that they’ve already decided who is going, and that they’re going to go through the motions of an “open and fair” staff review. My arse. So everyone is flapping. There’s shouting, speculation, crying and now out and out bitchyness (from carpet jumpered freak naturally)

I am in a big “keep yer head down” mode at the moment. And it seems the best course of action to take.

After new year in London with Monsieur Fwapper, we have decided to go on a kind of EasyJet adventure. We’re yet to decide a destination…although you can pretty much guarentee large amounts of high jinx wherever we end up. We’re torn between Madrid, Sofia or Sarajevo. The trouble is, we’re limited to places we can easily get to with EasyJet - that would make Madrid the simple option…but me being me wants to have a bit more of an adventure and fly to Croatia and then try to take a train to Sarajevo. Dave is not convinced enough yet. I think he will need plying with Fruli Strawberry Beer.

And you’d have thought that all of this was enough for one January, yes?

Well I’d have thought so too. But there’s one last thing: I’ve been quite ill too since xmas, and I’m gonna have to go into hospital in the next week or 2. This is something I’m not looking forward to, as I’m more scared of doctors than I am of Hairdressers (and I’m pretty scared of them)

I expect normal service to be resumed in February though
