Well..not quite but it’s the first of October so that means Halloween is a lot closer. Or seems a lot closer anyway. Trouble is I haven’t been able to find a costume I like yet. Or create I should say. For the past year I’ve been trying to put together a fantasy warrior costume and while I’ve got the start of it, I don’t feel...

…well, more of a scuttled ship if I can stretch the naval metaphor. Without getting too in depth to the rather boring details of corporate money saving decisions of my employer let’s just say a small premises they own is being closed down and most of the staff, managers included, have jumped ship and swam away. Which is where I come in. The few remaining...

Normally I’m not a fan of my boss contacting me when I’m on holiday. Or when he is on holiday, but that is a whole different story. This time though I’m willing to make an exception since he is asking me to switch my Sunday shift to a Wednesday, which basically means I get an extra day of holiday. What’s not to like about that?
I’ve been burning my way through Mythbusters on Prime, having made my way right to the final series of both Adam and Jamie’s run as well as Jon and Brian’s. If you haven’t watched Mythbusters, I highly recommend it as some light watching with some occasional heavy science, heavy objects and massive explosions.

That’s the only way you will grow into the role. That’s often the trick for me, since a lot of what could happen in my...

But that’s over now and quite frankly there are 5 actual managers in the branch, none of who do an actual Sunday shift. So I’m gonna see if we can change that. The idea of having a whole weekend without any work sounds pretty cool to me. I’ve...

I know that we don’t get heat here in England that can really match with some places around the world. I’m thinking back to my trip to the South of France in the height of summer. That was HOT. Yet it’s still been pretty darn hot around here recently. One of the few remaining perks of my current job is that the whole building is...

Well…in a sense of the year going by anyway. It’s the next big event coming up for the year, celebration wise. It’s certainly close enough to start thinking about my costume since I’ve got the evening booked off and I’m looking forward to getting into the spirit of things. I’ve got my old fall back of my Star Trek costume of course. It’s a good...
