Makes you wonder about the Top 10 Non-famous Disappearances though.

But mostly this makes me happy as it's the target I set for this year was to break into the industry, I've been getting offers for a few months but this was this particular companies 3rd time of asking and the job I'm walking into is usually 2 years down the line so I broccoli and cheese say no, they won't offer again, and although I promised I would finish the project I'm on, well, falafels them, my boss hasn't supported me or produced anything I've requested so the jobs further on than it has any right to be at the minute anyway.
in 12 days time I'll be on a plane. whoop!

Congrats. I hope it is for plenty of dirty dirty money.

I'm happy because I have nothing that needs to be done today for the first time in 4 weeks so I'm splitting my time between tv, pottering, internet, Emperor of Thorns and staring idly out of the window. And also furom drama, always a treat

Well, yes and no,its great money, but they're considered one of the poorer paying companies in the industry, its to get the position offered on my CV then hit a better company for the truly disgusting money, don't get me wrong, its still great money. But I want to feel dirty getting my paycheck

I am happy(ish), excited and full of trepidation.

I've had some hearing loss for a while, and it has been slowly getting worse. I've had trouble understanding conversation when there is background noise for 3 years or so (a few people here may have noticed that, if not that was part of the reason I was fairly quiet when we met - I probably didn't know what you were saying half the time). I don't know why I waited so long to address it, though that seems very common for people with hearing loss, but I've gone through the hearing tests, the ENT visits and am having my first hearing aid fitting this Wednesday.

From what I understand it can be a bit of time adapting to hearing aids and adjusting to the amount of noise most people hear, but I am stoked to see what the difference is. Especially so after seeing the results of my hearing tests. Seems I have normal hearing at the low end (up to 500Hz) and then it drops off a cliff to the point where anything at a frequency of 2kHz or higher needs to be 90+ decibels for it to even register for me. At first I was pretty disappointed that my results were that bad, but know I'm just thinking about how cool it will hear those sounds again and really wondering what I have been missing.

A client from Lithuania has just sent an offer request where he asks for Anti-Frog glass. This repeated typo absolutely made my day

How do you know it's a typo? Lithuania has some mighty mean frogs.

I had a dream involving:

• A diabolical criminal with giant mortars who wanted to end the world.
• A dragon.
• A queen who was always in her carriage moving because of said mortars.
• A lion with spiky hair, and I kid you not, a chipmunk's tail.
• Me playing the part of your friendly neighborhood vigilante.

My first thought after waking up was "If there was any justice in the world, I never would have woken up"

Well, now that you have them all written down, you have the elements for a kickass urban fantasy novel, so get going!!

Camping weekend!

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

Following on from my despairing post in Messing With Your Groove.

We've completed on the house. Everything is in order, we move in this week, with some spare days to get things sorted out so hopefully it will be a bit less hectic than is normal.

Now to crucify the solicitor!

Also,

Malazan Empire, meet Fiddler the tabby!




We've been in touch with the local rescue centre for a while about him as he is FIV positive and the poor cat has been there months. It's about time the poor thing had a chance!
