    Only saw one gig worth going for today. But I did get confirmation on another that my CV has gone to the client. And I was a good boy and did as I should and got dressed and went out.

    Got a pension statement today. It's currently worth £249 a year if I retire at 65. The pot is worth 73% of what it was worth last year.

    Time to play with my new web site, I think.
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      Forget the new web site, do what I did, dig out that old,old box of 'must keep bits', shake head and ask yourself what use is a 1200 baud modem, why do I have a tape of backgammon, what should I do with these punch card things and 'can I interest my wife in an acoustic coupler?'

        Oh yeah, also wear 'smoking jacket' on terrace, drinking and smoking at 06:30 in the morning when everyone else is going to work - they don't know what you do and it makes you feel good, sorry, 'empowered'.

            Nope. Heroes of Might & Magic IV. Until about 01:30. But that was OK because today's Saturday.



            I spent all day yesterday thinking it was Friday!

            Now it's Friday again.

            Not sure if that's good or bad. Except I'm up nearly two hours later than I would have been.

            It's is absolutely chucking it down out there.

                When things are bad the Irish banks don't even send them out, costs too much to answer the angry phone calls. No statment last year or this year

                  I reckon if I jump in the shower now, by 12:30 I can be doing the washing up and listening to "Does the Team Think" on Radio 7. It's got Tom Baker on so it should be good.

                    Take the washing up into the shower with you. It will save time all round.
                    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
