Bourn Again

I've still not recovered from my extensive injuries inflicted whilst tackling the hazards of cannock chase, but I've had more than enough to cheer me up over the last couple of days. Maybe on Monday I'll go see the on-site doctor to check out whether I have anything seriously wrong. That would be the on-site doctor at the largest confectioners in the world, where I start work on Monday :) I've been hired to help support their rollout of Outlook, working on the service-desk in a first line role.
I spent Friday meeting up with the people I'm going to be working with and checking out the site, the office I'll be in has windows... huzzah! The site itself puts where I've worked before to shame, on-site gym, swimming pool, well-stocked canteen, subsidised pub, and the legendary staff shop. And the people I'll be working with seem a great bunch too, what better way to get to know them than a team night out, enough beer was drank to act as a painkiller to my shoulder!

Yesterday saw me and Grumpy down the dog again, weather conditions - damp, MrNoxious condition - unfit, I need a job soon (watch this space!) so I can get back to commuting on my bike everyday. We got about half way around the course before "it" happened. Section 7 "The Boardwalk", a raised wooden section that splits in 2 at the end giving a choice between carrying on down the foot and a half wide track or trying your luck along a 6 inch wide "skinny" stretch over a muddy bog (the reason for it being a raised section) Guess which way us idiots choose? Or try to, I approached the skinny carrying nowhere near enough speed, which meant balance was way off, sending me off to the right when I should have gone to left. Front wheel first into the water, me off over the bars staring at a nasty looking tree stump. Luckily I hit the softer stuff just before it .. head, neck, shoulder, back, taking the brunt of it. Mr Grumpy dashes to my aid to save my bike and me sinking deeper into the bog. This morning I have a very sore neck.
