Redundancy

Well, it's great to be back and thank you all for your comments. It's nice to think I've been missed just a little bit and, of course, I missed everyone here - especially the huge range of posts from around the world. One of the reasons I've been struggling a bit is because my boss became extremely... Sign in to see full entry.

Irony

Looking back on my last entry where I was determined to write every day, it's quite ironic that I haven't posted since for which many apologies. There are a number of reasons why this has been the case which I'll explain in subsequent posts this week. Suffice to say it's been an interesting time at... Sign in to see full entry.

New start

I'm determined to make a new start in terms of regular blogging. There have been periods before when I've gone 'offline' for periods and I only realised this morning that it was 10 days since my last post. It isn't that I haven't got lots to say or that I can't be bothered to write here - nothing... Sign in to see full entry.

Where does the time ago

I was pondering this question as I came in to the day job on the train this morning. I'd been listening to Razorlight on my ipod (check out 'My father's house' if you haven't heard it!) and suddenly, there we were at King's Cross. It's funny how some journeys in seem to take seconds and others... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm sorry

to not have posted for so long and only have a few minutes now. One of my team in the day job has resigned to study for a Postgrad degree so politicing to try and get some funds in place. We can't replace her as the company has a no-recruitment policy in place and redundancies looking, so really... Sign in to see full entry.

Challenges

The day job has been a bit challenging this week in terms of things to do. It seems I now have to do a presentation to our main membership board of about 40. I've done these before and it will probably only be a quick 5 minutes but it's not something I find easy to do at any time. In short, I could... Sign in to see full entry.

Black clouds but sunny in the basement

The day job has been challenging so far today. I've been working on a bit of web code where the editor simply did not display what I had written. In fact it corrupted it every time. Very frustrating but ultimately really challenging as to how to get round the problem. I think I've cracked it now and... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday

Since last Monday, I've been writing on my netbook each day I have had to travel in for the day job and really feel I am getting somewhere with the book. The other nice result of this is that I feel I can just get on with the day job without wishing I was writing elsewhere. I think it helps to take... Sign in to see full entry.

My apologies

For not posting for a few days now. No real drama, just a very busy time (as ever!) Got home on Thursday night to discover Ivan had scored A, B, B, D in his AS Levels - the only problem was that the D was in music which he really wants to pursue. Still there are ways and means and we drank a nice... Sign in to see full entry.

Green and Yellow Park

I've just walked over to Piccadilly to pick up a sandwich from Prets. I often do this during the week to give me some fresh air and exercise in the middle of the day and to get me away from the PC screen for a while, to which I'd be glued to day job duties otherwise. My route takes me through Green... Sign in to see full entry.
