Lies, promises, failure?

You hear many things in life, many truthful, many utter bullshit.

Take Saturday for example, caught a taxi home. Then arranged with the driver to book another taxi for an hour later. This was a black cab, so no dodgy private hire here.

So 19:15 turns up, but the cab doesn’t. My wife calls TOA. No booking has been made.

Lie? Promise? Failure? dunno, probably all three. Private hire turned up within about 20 minutes.

Avid readers may recall my job indecision posts. In the end decided to join the company where I’ve been for the last 2 years or so. Took a week off to sort out my affairs (Accountants, P45, etc). Was waiting for the contract of employment to turn up. Well it didn’t and still hasn’t. So day 6 of working for free. It’s rumoured to be coming soon, but I have yet to see it.

Lie? – no Promise & Failure? – yes

Stick in the mud (Photography Day Pt II)

So, as I was in-between jobs thought I’d go for Photography day part II.

This days chosen location, Wast Water and the surrounding area (Lake District). Not the easiest lake to get to as it’s not near the touristy lakes. Didn’t really plan anything other than drive to the lake, get out the map tWast Waterhen decide where to go. Nice uneventful journey from Brum, about 4.5 Hours in total. Slight disappointment when I got to the car park at Wast Water to find a ticket machine, which wanted £3.70 of my finest pounds to park for about 3 hours. Luck was on my side however as the machine didn’t except any coins (Parking is free for National Trust members).

World of Warcraft

Does anyone understand it? I work in IT, geekland so maybe by default I should know it.
I frequent a few gaming forums, quite a few members are into WoW. Now I don’t wish to be rude to these people as I like them (in a friend sense, nothing pervy).

Now, I’ve really no idea what the fuck this actually means:

Ahh man, what a night that was. That’s me right behind DJ, and I think you can just make out Stu’s coat tails on the far left. We got nearly the whole guild together, marching as one into Alliance territory after the server had only been up for a week. Caused quite a stir too iirc biggrin.gif Gawd, was that really two years ago?

mmmmm, searches Amazon for Dummies guide the Wow.

Job decision final

It happened, I got the job and said yes!

Still taking a week off just to sort stuff out.  Like contacting the uncontactable accountants.

Short post I know, but it’s my pointless blog.  Plus its late.
