    Can't do any harm.
    It's quite a good way of learning the subject, so no harm in doing it. Might help filter the CV down and get you on the right pile when applying.

    started a topic On the banquette.

    On the banquette.

    It's like a bench, but with more padding.

    Finished at clientCo yesterday. No more f**ing testing! (unless I get desperate).

    On holiday latter part of August, so going to take a couple of weeks off and catch up on stuff. Intending to get a MS certification under my belt to get back into technical side.

    So my to do list looks like:


    Swimming
    Running
    Cycling

    Decide whether to do triathlon


    Put stuff into loft
    Spare room - clear and decorate

    Kitchen - clean
    Bathroom - clean
    Downstairs loo - clean
    General tidy / hoover

    Gardening.

    Online grocery shop

    Read Italian Renaissance art book

    MS certification

    Sort out CV

    Order cat meds / food - DONE!

    Read the leccy meter.



    One thing ticked off already! No time for reading/posting tulip on here all day.

Working...
