Long time no update..

Still doing stuff to the house, (slowly), looks like I'll be moving from my current company to a new one after they took over our NHS contract... Still. same money, and decent package so can't complain, and I get to stay in Leeds.

Not much else, went to Amsterdam for my birthday, which was nice.. No weed at all either.. *shrug*...

Yes, the botel is very "interesting".

It's right by the main train station, and kinda static in the harbour... We laughed a lot just because of the name..

To be honest, it's probably more of a novelty than a "good hotel", but the rooms looked perfectly serviceable etc. It's also close to the red light district, the centre of town, and best of all "Nemo", which is like Eureka in halifax, with lots of things to play with.

So yeah, you'll have fun there.

Nice flat by the way!

india:
yeah well it's not far from there, it's opposite the bus stat. all the new leeds apt are pretty similar.

Sorry, the new site design is just too much.

Rubbish.

Hey Ho.

Cat's off at a work's christmast do.. so heaven know's what time she'll be back tonight then, if at all...

Looks like we are moving into a phase of "generating-work" at the office. It's a slump in deployments between here and March? April? So that means that we've got to justify our existance between then and now.

Not to fear however, there is...

Oh, times of change, times of change.

Looking for a house right now. Looking good for something in the right price range, and in the right area. Should have something sorted soon.

But.

Work, work is looking a bit odd at the moment. We've hit an unexpected quiet spot, which is going to mean that lots of people are rolling off. I hope I can...

Just back from New-Zealand. 50 hours flying in one week.. erp!

Very tired, but had an OK time, nice place, etc

Parents a pain in the ass as always, but I'm sure they'll get better once they decide what the hell they are doing.
steaky:
woah, New Zealand huh? sounds excellent. parents are meant to be a pain in the ass once you've grown up, you spent most of your child hood being one to them wink

Thanks to those guys who wished me happy birthday!!!

I'm currently on my way to bed, full of good food and Bollinger, which is nice, though making me feel a little sick!

Got to go to Peterborough tomorrow for work..Sucks.

Ah well

lastpenguin:

cadwell:
Hello! Seems I'm a bit late to wish you happy birthday but, hell, hope you had fun. Were you on the vouch list for SGUK? Man, if I'd have known I would have vouched for you for sure. We should meet properly soon. Hope all is good.

Ah, my friend Laura is back this weekend from her 6 month stint in Greece as a holiday rep... Wild.. I don't know how she does it. I'd be dead in a week.

Currently sat in my Hotel room in London. In the barbican, which is a fucking rough area.

My friend Cadwel, went to the manchester SGUK meet, very jealous, I can't seem to get back on that group.

Got a shitty day tomorrow, some sort of induction training.. Blergh.

Well it's back to work tomorrow, and it looks like my boss had recieved a warning about my working hours, it seems EU law stipulates that over a 17 week rolling period, I'm not supposed to be doing over 48 hours average. I'm up at 55, and in most cases, I'm doing much more at peak times. After all, if you take the day off...

i would have it follow me about like a pet biggrin
steaky:
it is in eu law that you are not allowed to work more than 48 hours in a regular working week. however you and your boss can get around this if you sign a waver decliration stating that you wont hold him of the firm responsible if anything happens to you as a result of working more than 48hours in a single week, i.e. off due to work related stress, that kinda shit. it keeps the laywers and insurers happy and you get to carry on with your job as normal. ive been in 2 jobs where i have had to sign one of these declerations (even though i only found out i should have had one in the first job after i had left whatever
but if you are working with computers you probably should try to cut back on the hours you are working smile

Ah, back from holiday.

Three nights in Paris, very nice, stayed in the Montparnasse area, and for once we seemed surrounded by nice parisians! lots of good food and drink, then onto:

Venice. Nice to look at, not much to do (which suited us), but *TOO MANY TOURISTS* argh. I hate people.. sheesh.. but otherwise good.

Back to work next monday, so much to do.
