h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Blimey you're getting the hang of the smileys now

Had a few and feeling somewhat better now although I'm not sure how I stayed of the ciggies today.

Still, on the good side, I've got 3 months notice, and it wasn't like it was totally unexpected was it?

Anyway I'm off to do something that may pass as dinner (mine, not the cats thank you, there's something about kitekat that turns the stomach )

And I seem to have accumilated a load of maggot drowning gear over the living room floor... I assume the trip is on for this weekend?

Ahhh, a day of peace...

And thanks for the

Yay! Maggot drowning agogo! were off to see the wibbly fish, the wibbly fish of zod, it's such a wibbly wobbly fish, if ever a fish there was.(Do you get the impression i'm a bit keen?)

Big from me too, hope you find something soon - do you get any pay off?

My big brother recently took voluntary redundancy after 17 years with the same company anfd took a "shed load of tax free money" I believe were his words.

Pour another Vodka, forget about the coke.

Night

CH

Ouch...

Need more

to but only becuase its friday.

Up early? Or Have you not gone to bed yet?

Enjoy the dy

CH

Up normal time, went to work late. Motivational trouble this morning, can't imagine why...

The pay off will be nominal, absolute minimum, better than a kick in the teeth but not anything to describe as shed loads.

Gotta go

Depends on the size of the shed Started the fishing entry, trying it out in guide ML hope it works. Once it's finished and i'm happy with it i'll post it to the peer review and let you all worry it to bits. Guide ML not quite so daunting as I first thought just got to remember the syntax protocols. had another back injection today, rather painful as this was a full on jab rather than a trial run. Got to go back to hosp in Jan or Feb for the real procedure. Back feels a bit tender but it's calming down even as I write. The backache is almost gone now and this one should last until I go next time (permission to shout "hurrah" at an irritatingly loud volume sir).
anyway poss see you tomorrow night? I doubt if we'll stay too late as it gets dark early now. Otter

A very, very small shed. Positivetly minute in fact. A grand total of £1680 and nil pence. Not exactly going to keep me in the style to which I'd like to become accustomed is it?

Thought the jab was next week, November? Are you going to be OK on that there damp lake bank tomorrow?

Worrying about you - because I know of your tendancy to keep quiet & get on with it regardless...

Then again, if you're a bit under the weather, perhaps I stand a minor chance of beating you at scrabble?

But you have enough now to buy a really nic shed if you want

CH

or a really really nice new computer... Hmmmmm. Best I start planning how to spend the cash after I have a new job methinks.

I've already been asked to type about 6 CV's out so maybe I should start charging

Just had a thought - the BBc have a jobs page - off to rummage

Nothing I fancy in the BBC vaults - couldn't quite see me as script editor for Eastenders they''d all be filed in the bin.

Otter - I checked the DTI's website, my payout is correct. The maximum they have to pay me is £240 per year, hence £1680.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be re-writing the CV (9,999th attempt and no exaggeration!) so I'd better go.

or in your case

Good luck! I hate writing C.Vs. Probably why I don't usually bother, just blag my way through the interview ( works for me ). Updated my own space with some piccies. I dunno, maybe thats what arsenders needs couldn't be any more unrealistic if it tried . I agree about the payout,so s from me see ya soon Otter

Well, when you finally put your new toy down and come back into the land of the living heres that new entry I though you should read http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A626122. Can't wait to see what you make of it

and this is the other page i was telling you about - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/info

I dunno only here 5 flippin minutes and staging a takeover bid already...

So you finally put ther new toys down then How went the maggot drowning yesterday?

I'm an ACE! got me badge 'n' everything. Cor blimey that was quick! Ah well, best go meet 'n' greet some newbies then. See ya soon Otter.

Like I said, here less than 5 minutes and getting badges already... Still, I get one when the uni project is finished. Which i think it might be. Just... maybe... dunno...

Talking of university - went to my first workshop for the OU this morning. Of couse, it didn't help that I was looking for APU - Anglia Polytecnic University or something - and the streep map I had of Chemsford listed it as the technical college... oh dear... yup Sue got lost again.

My life would be so much easier if I had a sense of direction... literally!

later

How did the workshop go? Are you still up for the course? Never mind, even I get lost sometimes and I thought I had a good sense of direction. Got a great album the other day by a band called Senser. Kind of like Linkin' Park/ Prodigy, with a bit of Papa Roach thrown in. Apparently they have toured with the Ozrics and Eat Static. Well good! I'll bring it with me next time we come over (over who? Stop that!!!!).Anyway speak to you soon Otter

Yeah, I *think* the workshop went well.. Quite strange really, shattered a few illusions but still managed to make me feel a bit more confident about this. The wierd bit was, out of the 11 of us in the group apparently 3/4's will drop out before the end of the course.
