Im back. And not just back to blogging but back home as I’ve been in Haslemere since Sunday night and only got back yesterday evening. I was on a training course for work and got to stay in a 4 star hotel that had exorbitant prices for food and drink. Also they only had 11 TV channels which is rubbish. They didn’t even have Channel 5!

So, it was “a bit rubbish” being away from Chloe for so long, leaving her on Sunday was really difficult, it shouldn’t have been as we’ve spent time apart before but it still upset us both. Still, Lucy and Nige took good care of her while I was away so I know she was well fed and looked after! Plus the idiot cats were there to keep her warm and cosy too.

I could talk about Haslemere but a) it’s work stuff so I won’t and b) it wasn’t that exciting a place, although I did eat well while I was there as we got free lunches at the training venue. I managed to get lots of reading done and finished the new Terry Pratchett book (not bad, I like the City Watch books but that’s all he ever writes about these days, this was one of the better ones though) and also got lots of Advance Wars played (Gaming Goodness update shortly).

I’m glad it’s all over and done with now – I was originally supposed to go in March but then I got my tonsillitis and scarlet fever which somewhat precluded me from attending. And now I’m back with Chloe and all is right with the world!

Oh yeah!

So anyway, stupid work problem no. 1 has been taken care of thanks to the ever helpful CICS team (is it me or do I seem to get a lot more respect now I’m in SecServ?) and I no longer fear the upcoming CMR o’ doom next Thursday.

In other news Lucy, Nige and Alice came over last night for dinner and sitting round and talking shenanigans which was very lovely and fun.

Upcoming things:

Lots of crazy CMR fun tomorrow at work including a big complex thing.
Going to Mum and Dad’s at the weekend for food and hot, hot staying over action Saturday night which will be good.

Other than that all is well and I’m super-happy! Woo!

Now what was it I said not two updates ago?

Plus I get to do technical stuff and code batch jobs and things and then hope I don’t break anything and invoke callout or anything.

And what do I find out when I get in on Monday…see if you can guess what happened over the weekend?

Bah. Stupid batch jobs. So, fingers crossed for tonight then.

Update on weekend shenanigans coming later…

Well not really as I’ve not updated in god knows how long. Erk.

So, what’s new this time? Well I’ve got a new job as a Security Operations Analyst in Security Services which now means I’m a) on more money, and b) now senior staff so get to come and go as I please. Which is nice. Plus I get to do technical stuff and code batch jobs and things and then hope I don’t break anything and invoke callout or anything.

Other than that I’m super-happy with Chloe and how things are going, it’s been over 6 months now and although we’ve had our ups and downs (as with most people), I can safely say that this is the happiest I’ve ever been. You could even say ecstatic if you so decided. The house is good and (after a marathon cleaning effort this morning) all spotless and clean. I’m eating better than ever before and could actually cook something other than pasta or chips now without burning my face or anything. Plus Bobby and Beezle are fantastic too!

I shall endeavour to update more often, even if only for my own benefit as I don’t think anyone actually reads this anyway.
