Blogging used to be something I'd do to while away the inbetween time at work, that is inbetween wondering what I was meant to be doing and realising there was nothing much to do. (Or nothing much to do that would make a difference) Hence the reason I've not been blogging of late, inbetween the time I've been wondering how to get everything that needs sorting at work I've been trying to sort out how to get each of my team sorted at work. Which leaves little time for idle surfing. Sometimes I don't think I have enough time to put my head above the ice to catch a breath. But, somehow I know that what I'm doing is making a difference, and that makes it worth doing. Suffice to say, my new job is hard work, but satisfyingly worthwhile.

Bourn Again

2006-10-07T23:01:00.000+01:00

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.

BigFootCookie came to work on his new bike today, which means mine has now been reduced to the old clunker of the office. Guess that means it's time for a new bike. Here's some spy shots of one possible candidate, the 2007 Mongoose Teocali Comp.

This isn't a wind-up

Well actually it is, a wind up robot pencil sharpener, genius. And a bargain at only £3.50 from Hawkin's Bazaar

Cat Tree

Can't stop with the cat blogs at the mo, here's a link to an easy to follow guide on how to Build Your Own Cat Tree. For those that are felinically challenged, that's a place where cats can scratch not a tree made from cats. I'd love to build one myself, but I don't have a cat.

going, going, missed.

Just stumbled on this great site for bagging a bargain, i'm guessing that's grabbed Cookies attention and when i say the magic word eBay that'll get RedGypsy too!

"Every day thousands of items are listed on auction sites around the world containing spelling mistakes such as 'comuter', 'coomputer' or 'c0mputer' instead of 'computer'. Because these items don't appear in the regular search results less people bid on them so they sell for a lot less.
Thanks to Missing-Auctions.com you can quickly and easily find these mis-spelled auctions and grab yourself a bargain !"

So what are you waiting for, go grab yourself some diemond earings and a cheap furrari!!

After the sad news that Red Gypsy's cat Hardy passed away on Tuesday, I'd like to pay my respects and lift a glass to him. To Hardy.

And to try to cheer you up a bit I'll post a link to Picato.net, a site where cat owners can share pictures of their cuddly bundles of joy.

Some frightening terms and conditions on the Royal Mail website.

How do you copyright the colour red?

LittleRedGypsie has already blogged her leaving doo here, and what a great night it was too.
Although the Tao could not make it in person, he did make an advertorial appearance (in the gents).

More pics from the night can be seen here.

New phone

2006-07-12T16:38:00.000+01:00

As a few of you may know, most of my blog pictures are taken with the most excellent sony ericsson w750i which i have loved to bits since owning. So, when the 3.2 megapixeltastic w800i was released, i HAD to have one. But, not only does it have an uprated camera, i have created and published this blog entry direct from the phone, and it was easy, even Cookie could have managed.

Gone but not forgotten

Bigfootcookie has had an unfortunate incident, speaking from experiance (smashing chin on pavement, not dipping into canal) I don't envy him one bit.

Get well soon mate.
