I’m on the final run in to the end of my job, just 8 working days to go. A leaving present? Thousands of meetings (ok not thousands but lots), and gosh is it tiring.
Last week I was on holiday, and I was full of beans, cleaning the house, washing the dishes right after tea. I’ve been back at work two days now, and I’m knackered, you don’t realize the mental effort work takes out of you. Staring at computer screens 
isn’t great, and being asked to stay awake for 2 hours in a very warm meeting room, is equivalent to sleep deprivation if you ask me.
I think I might be reaching the point where I need to increase my amount of exercise, we noticed this last time, I started coming to work on my bike, the exercise actually made me less tired for the duration of the day. Ruth ofcouse thinks I’m a freak; but given how tired work appears to be making me, and the fact that I start a new job in three weeks. I think it could be time next week to break out the WD40 again.
From the last movie we watched to the next movie we are going to watch, via movies we have already seen; in just three actors, and four movies.
I have to say I’m a bit shocked; but I feel ok.
last night I went to bed feeling terrible, after a day of general head cold, and acing joints, and shivers. I thought there was no way I would be going back to work today, which given I have only two weeks left might have proved a bit inconvenient.
but this morning, I’ve woken up and besides a slightly dry mouth I feel ok. I’m still going to take it easy, and I haven’t been downstairs yet.
Another step in the ‘getting all the paper work’ part of my new job. The CRB check has comeback, and as we suspected; I’m not a criminal, which is nice.
I now have a start date, but still no contract, apparently, that will arrive once all the paperwork is in place, and as far as I can tell, the Occupational Health survey is still to be fully processed. I’m not surprised; it was one of the most overly complex forms I’ve had to fill in in recent times (and that includes the CRB form, which has two sections that aren’t required by anyone). It would be nice to have a contract before I start, but I’m not holding my breath.
Daisy’s come out with a nasty rash over the last couple of days, so we’ve been the doctors twice. Yesterday the rash wasn’t to bad, so the doctor just gave us something to treat a nappy rash that might have been causing the rest of the rash. Then for most of yesterday and last night, it spread, so this morning we returned to the doctors, who gave us baby piriton. And already after just one dose it’s started to go down a bit.
Just as well really, because Dasiy is not best pleased by it, part of her body’s reaction appears to be a soaring temperature, so calpol is keeping that in check, which is making it at least tolerable, this morning at breakfast it all became to much for her, and we needed a good ten minute hugging before we could even contemplate starting the day.
Before the camera did break I took quite a few images of power lines (maybe that’s why it broke), not because I’m sad or a power line spotter or anything, but because I thought that stuck together they would make quite a cool photopicturethingy.
in-case you are wondering this photo does follow a theme, and is similar to my pier head, and cathedral pictures.
There is no real excuse to use the new keyboard, but I just wanted to type a little bit and see how cool it was, besides it’s a compact keyboard, which means it will probably take a little getting use to, for one the delete key is in quite a strange place. All the way over there in the top corner. And home, end page up and page down are all in this condensed line down the side next to the slightly truncated return key. It’s not like I chose a compact keyboard, but it seems it’s is nearly impossible to buy a standard keyboard, with a USB connection for anything approaching the price you would expect. At least it would seem that is the case in high street shops. So in the end I’ve gotten this rather stylish white keyboard with blue lights, and a slightly compact style, which is why I started this rather pointless prose so I could type, because it turns out when your just surfing the t’internet, and reading your email you don’t type much. It’s like when you get a new pen and you just start writing pointless sentences like, “this is a nice pen” and signing your name over and over. Anyway, it turns out that this is a nice keyboard, and typing a paragraph or so of stupid prose has brought me to the conclusion, that I like it, and I will get use to the delete key.
