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

How goes it, oh notoriously over-busy individual?

I'm working again, so it's a good time to get on to communicating with professional people I've been avoiding because of an overdeveloped sense of inadequacy (slight handicap, that!), as well as less than adequate internet connections.

Apart from that, though, I haven't heard from you in a while. What's happening?

Hey! Hypoman,

Shit happened - as it is wont to do - plus our server has been going up and down like a bride's nighttie so electronic communication has been somewhat haphazaed.

So how are things with you ? What do you mean you are working again, did you change jobs or something ? Or have you been on holidays you lucky dog you ?

Speaking of holidays I've got one more week of fun and games and then I get 3 whole weeks off !! Where I then get a chance to have some fun and games at home like conquering the Mt Everest of ironing that seems to have taken up residence in our spare room. I've tried the old peril sensitive sun glasses but they don't seem to work because I still keep bumping into Everest every time I step into the room, and consequently half of Everest falls on top of me

If I actually get to conquer Mt Everest and get around to installing the sims in Marvin (our PC at home which currently runs like a dog) I'll still be around and I might even find the time to do something about my home page !!

Our server at work has been doing precisely the same thing - it must be the time of year, I think...

I'm in work again, as in I got another contract - this time to write a library catalog for a Commonwealth funded "health consumer advocate organisation" (I can't be any more specific than that without letting EVERYBODY know where I work!). It's an interesting job, but without the internet to steal library records from it has the potential to be an infinitely slow one! The only holidays I get are unfunded, which is a bit of a pain...

I know what you mean with the Everest experience, too. Unfortunately, ironing is the least of the mountaineering worries I have at home - the mess is the biggest one!

Good to see you back, anyway!
