Hi again.  So sorry for not posting for ages, I kind of went through a little slump of feeling sorry for myself and the last thing I wanted to do was write on here.  So what has being 33 years old done for me upto now?

Well first thing is that I’ve been ill pretty much all the time since April and i’m just getting over it now (which might be a reason my mood is picking up  lot) .  Oh yeah, in May I went to London for the week with my partner on the pretence of an urban holiday, although I was at the @media2008 conference for two of those days.  I’ll tell you all about that next time - I don’t want to go and create a long post that no-one is going to read when I can tease you all!!!

Work was also pretty crap.  I was being left out of important meeting which I felt I needed to be involved in because at some point in the future I would be doing the work and there were issues which needed addressing at the time.  But this has changed dramatically in the last week.  I’ve have two managers at the moment; a real line manager who looks after the holidays and I have to share the office with her and the team, and then there is the firms webmaster who is my ‘workload’ manager (my other one doesn’t know what I do most of the time and isn’t technical enough to understand it).  So last Monday I was asked to take on a project that another member of the team wanted to offload as she was on her holidays.  Basically I was asked to turn a few pdf documents into a full blown ebook in a week.  I did pretty well and if I do say so myself I did a pretty good job of it.  Anyway we had the meeting with the guy who is funding this bit of work and he was very pleased, but we (meaning I)  have decided to go further and produce an all singing-all-dancing version in the next month.  I was asked if I could do it which I said I could but didn’t know how yet.  My boss then said

We don’t have a don’t know how to do it.  Its a challenge

which is certainly is, but this is the thing I love doing, so work is picking up and I’m enjoying it again.

My partner is a star, still love her to bits even though for the last week all she has been doing is playing Indiana Jones Lego on my Xbox360.  But I’d rather have her in there playing than not have her atall like my best friend.

Last Monday I got a text message from him to say that his girfriend had broken up with him.  Now, I was pretty pleased about that !?!?!?!  Not because I like to see my friend in pieces and upset, but because she was leading him on and being unfair to him.  This was made more apparent to me when I was told that she didn’t even have the guts to break up with him on the phone or face-to-face.  She txt him!!!!  There is only one word that I can think of to sum her up

BITCH!

He’s cut to pieces but I’m sure he’ll get over her.  He’s got good friends and its like the Carling Advert when all his mates turn up on their horses to get him out of the house.

This post is far too long so I’ll stop now.  Catch you later
