Happy New Year to all!!!


If there is anyone out there still looking at this page, I would like to thank you and apologise for having neglected it in the last two months.

No, I have not disappeared up my own arse after having found a job... The thing is that considering that I had been off work for a little while, with the trip and before that surgery, it has taken me a bit longer to adjust to the whole thing, than I first thought it would take me.

I have changed the title, because I am afraid I am slowly becoming a corporate whore. Finally I got my break into a big company and actually managed to land the role in a SERIOUSLY BIG company. One of those that verge on HUGE. And before you even start thinking wrong again... NO, it isn't because of that either that I have not 'bothered' to update this little space.


The main thing that is preventing me from posting updates here is the fact of having very little time. Despite having friendly working hours, I have to cross the entire city from the outskirts of one end to the complete opposite side of the outskirts of the city. This takes me (being honest with you) two hours door to door. So I have to take away an extra four hours to my day just on travelling to and from work. Isn't that a bitch? I am getting shit loads of reading done, which is nice, but comes Thursday night I am knackered. I am only just beginning to go out to meet up with friends. It has taken me a month to just start getting into the travelling spirit and all.


It has been good but I am still adjusting to the whole thing. To put it plain and simple, in the office site that I work at (the smallest of the two), work 4,500 people and that is just office monkeys. The 4,500 doesn't seem to include cleaners, caterers or people like that. That is crazy. It took me nearly one week to find my way back to my desk after having a cigarette. By the time I returned they had called a search party and were looking for my floating corpse to pop up in the moat any time soon. It is good and it is bad, the grass isn't greener on the other side. I miss my friends, I still don't feel 100% into the whole thing, but I am taking their money and and running home.


I hope you are all OK and that things are going nicely your way. I will try and update more often and hope to have entertaining stories to share with you all very soon.
