Like O, Like H
Posted by Nicky on Tuesday Apr 8, 2008 Under wtf?I’m so crap, I’ve not been near this blog for too long. I do have a reasonable excuse in that I still don’t have broadband at home and I don’t really want people at work looking over my shoulder as I type in the randomness that spews on to the web from my direction…
That, and I have no time in my lunch break to look up decent stuff to blog about (because my life just isn’t fascinating enough to support a blog any more – not that it ever was the first time of course.) It also occurs to me, as I type, that the version I have of Firefox doesn’t recognise “blog” or, as it has transpired within this sentence, “Firefox”.
Gotta slap that dictionary into shape, methinks. [It recognises "methinks", goddammit!]
So what the hell have I been up to and where the hell have I been? Nowt much really duckies. Started The New Job in February (so slightly less of the “New” now then). I am no longer a supermarket lackey and now work somewhere I get to stretch my brain a bit. It’s officially my “First Grown-Up Job”, as far as I’m concerned. Working in Outdoor Education is very rewarding and I had some great times, but it’s more of a lifestyle (and felt like an extension of being a student! 
) and the wage and the lifestyle weren’t what I wanted anymore. Now I have my own desk, my own phone line (not answering calls for other people or using someone else’s desk temporarily) and I get to play with maps and ‘puters and go outside still.
Not that I’m going to completely walk away from the OE type stuff. My baby, my Infrared*, is in our workshop, calling to me…
Where was I? Oh yes.
We’ve got ourselves 6 chickens – 5 hens and a cockerel. Only two have names so far, but we are working on it… and we should be getting the ducks this weekend…
Crap, stupid-o-clock. Time for bed!
*Damn Flash only sites… look under “product range -> river -> infrared” if you want to know the boat.
