Aaaah... Hello... Testing Testing... Is there anybody there?

Blimey, I haven’t written on this blog for ages. It must be a month now at least. Reasons being; I’ve completely changed my job so I now have no internet access (well at home, but we’re always using a p2p program so the connection speed is arse, it’s like using the Macintosh that I set up in about 1996 for my dad.) Anyway life has, as ever, moved on in many ways.

Firstly, my new job, where I spend 8 hours a day in a Young Offenders Institution chasing paper round their offices. I’m a temp so I’m on better money than most of the people who work here, I can work as and when I choose (not totally; if I chose I wouldn’t) so I start at 8.20 and finish at 4.20. It’s great, so much better than my last job, as I have no pressure, no responsibility and no worries. Whilst the money isn’t great, it’s as good as what I was on and I’m not travelling as far.

It’s an open plan office, which is new to me, but is also a welcome change to my last office environment, me on my own in (granted, a very nice) office in charge of my own workload. Now I just do as I’m told and when I’ve done that I do what I like. In fact I think I’ll have this afternoon off. (See isn’t it great!)

So the new job has made me feel a great deal better about my prospects and myself. As has the lady who now enjoys spending time in my company (and my bed). On top of this I have given up drinking caffeinated coffee. Which, I feel, has a great deal to do with my less agitated, less tetchy and generally more positive outlook on life (that and the sex). I still get the odd bout of rage; when cables get tangled, changing my bedding, the state of my house, etc. But these things are perfectly understandable, apart from the cables. How do electric cables get tangled up so quickly and so well? You can put a cable in a draw for 5 minutes, get it out again and it’ll be wrapped round anything and everything else? Why has no one invented a cable that will not tangle? Perhaps using magnets?

So things are good. (To all those people who know me, yes I thoroughly agree that statement doesn’t sound like me, but hey! people change).

Or do they…?
