...well, three days into the new job and all seems to be pretty peachy. after an initial 'mare of finding it difficult to work out the database i'm meant ot be updating, today i was hit by a brainwave...

...export all the data i need into excel, then import it into access and voila, i can do anything i want :o)

...xmas lunch with my department today, extra long lunch, rolling back to work a 2pm for a couple of hours of very little work. if only i wasn't driving i could have partaken of a bevvy or two and happily snoozed the avo away...

...got my own collar number, 7737 reporting for duty, but don't have to have those shoulder things obviously, and an electric tag thingy that gets me in to all the buildings - woohoo, photo id card to follow shortly, very bad picture...

...got my baby car, purrs like a kitten and vroom's me all over the place...

...really need to go shopping this week, but being a sniffling, grumpy pants so don't feel like, the thought of having to go in saturday fills me with dread though - aaaargh...

..."confusion turns me upside down,
lost as quickly as i'm found"...

...so the time is almost nigh, sarah leaves the hemisphere again on friday :o( going to miss my best travelling mate...boo hoo...

...but tonight i got a call from kimbo, a mate from NZ, who i stayed with in aussie for a while, to say he'll be over here a week on friday to stay for the weekend. joy of joy's. kim is the greatest bloke, and i haven't seen his mrs, ursela, since the night we set her and kim up in NZ - blimey that was about a year ago...

...gonna get yelled at tomorrow at work as i forgot upload something quite important before i left...oh pants...

...i have been "dry" for four days...
