House stuff is moving. We have to buy out the freehold which is a real pain in the arse. Here's hoping it doesnt take too long.
New job is good. I'm quite busy which is a welcome change from the last year or so at Interserve. Northgate seem to know what to do with a service manager which is good. I feel like my skills are actually going to be relevant, another welcome change. Another welcome change is flexible working. Northgate's education division doesn't have offices in England, and although we can use other Northgate offices, it doesnt appear common to do so. Instead, people work from home, and meetings happen in cafes and bars. On Thursday I worked out of the cafe at the gym for a while before going to a meeting in a hotel bar - and none of my colleagues think this is unusual in any way. Homeworking is also very common. I find this refreshing, especially as it allows me to manage my diary in a way that means I can be home with David and Eddie more. It also appears that they understand how to manage new people in - let them get on with it but support them.
This coming week I will be away 3 nights, home Thursday night. :-)
LRP: Still not sure if I can make Crusades. 1st April is phase one go live so working from home that day might not be possible. I want to go as I haven't LRPed since WITW and haven't hit things since Odyssey. Looking forward to M&M as well. I am also looking forward to Victoriana, but need a more detailed character concept than 'cross dressing sapphic'. I may also need to re watch Tipping The Velvet...
OU: finished the 10 pointer in Law, just waiting for results. Social Sciences course part 2 is better than part 1 but still has irritations Sociology is only one of the social sciences but has too much emphasis on the course, especially as it is such a bollocks discipline. On balance I should have gone straight to level 2. ;-)
