As a techie this amuses me…

Fourth Post!!!!

But anyway, I really need to do some teching again I think. But in the meantime one band of actors is rater amusing. I need to catch up with HHGTTG at some time, might even buy the CD or just leave this posted here as a hint to a couple of people, well one of them reads this…. ;-)

 

Things to make and do

This week is shooting on by. I seem to be being kept amused. Still need to go the the wall as didnt go tonight. Need to sleep. Need to work out way to IC, and then on to Pompey, and specifically of course the IBIS. Packing can wait for now….

Not everything always makes sense.

as a rant – I would like to whinge about the incompatibility between my Philips webcam, and Mandrake Linux. but its really not worth the hassel. I think I should let it slide.

Final to do is to add some more functionality to this site. Yes, i could install something out of a box, but thats not the point.

and finally…

I really should have worn gloves when chopping the chillie peppers. I have learnt my lesson now…..

 

Pointless workflow

I came to work at 7.30 this morning (I am going to disregard the going off site for two hours that I also did, although that comes later) I was also in at the weekend (which annoyingly is now last week, and not this week) but my work load has just dropped. So I am going to have to work on personal motivation and my list of jobs todo.

But my point is that my time and attendance measurements encourage clock watching. I have to work 37 hours regardless of my workload, and if i need to do extra hours, then I do them. Now i dont have much problem with the latter, but the immovable-force nature of my official work pattern does irritate me time and again.

I would much rather go home in an hour than an hour and 45 minutes…

Anyway, I need to go and chase some work that will end up with me being at work at 6am one saturday.

 

Why does it feel like a landmark?

For the past couple of weeks I have been consolidating my belongings ready to move. Well, consolidating some of them… I have no intention to live out of a series of boxes just yet, so its largly sorting out paper at this stage.

Some stuff will probably go in the bin, but it is largly a filing, sorting and packing exercise. The knack as I see it is to organise stuff so that when i get to m new flat I can work ut where anything might be. With the extra room space is initially not going to be a problem, the boxes can just all go into the second room, until they are propperly sorted out.

Last nigth did feel like an achievement when I managed to sort things sufficiently so that most of my stuff now sits under the stairs, giving me the lounge floorspace again. Which is nice, and I know it is only transitory, but it does give me a space with which to start again….

I need to buy more filing boxes for the paperwork, and pack some more of it away, and then it is time to start putting excess clothing (well painting clothing, and the like) into suitcases, and getting to the back of my built in cupboard.

Time to Go

Just to make it seem more real, I yesterday handed in notice on my current rented house. This means I now have a date I need to move by, and if my new flat isnt finished, then that is going to be a case of moving to my parents place. It would be much better to move direct to my own place, less packing will be required, and a lot less milage…
