Da Board

~ blonde redhead ~
hi, once upon a time I had a blog on this site, so long ago I don't even remember what I had called it..
~ blonde redhead ~
I started reading yours through a random sequence of events, you posted on mine a few times, this was a number of years ago,
~ blonde redhead ~
I got rid of my blog, it chronicled the downward spiral of my relationship with my ex, something that hurt too much to keep online, my point... yes I do have one..
~ blonde redhead ~
bear with me though, its my last day of work, and I'm alone and there was a bottle of wine in the fridge which I downed...
~ blonde redhead ~
is that you're not alone, and random stranger like me read your thoughts and care and know the pain of life and being alone..
~ blonde redhead ~
I guess thats all, sorry for consuming your board, I wish you all the best and don't stop writing, my life would be far more boring if you did..
~ Me ~
What a holloballo!
~ Spike ~
Boo. Almost Christmas and I'm almost prepared. Got S an exceptional present this year. I'm really proud of myself.
~ Ludmila ~
I can't be bothered with anything these days. Basically not much noteworthy happening. I feel like an empty room. I've more or less been doing nothing.
~ crazygirl ~
Hey Dan! Hope you are doing alright these days!

April 2008 was really quite shit. I don't know why. I can't put my finger on what was wrong with it exactly. I just seem to have been quite depressed quite a lot last month.

But now we are well into this month and things are looking up. Or at least they were for a couple of days. Last Monday was a Bank Holiday so we all got to stay inside and watch the rain through the window. Tuesday and Wednesday were lovely sunny days. I was working 8-4 so it was still sunny as I left the building and I had a nice pint in a nice beer garden on my way home both days. Things at work were going really well. I was making progress with Operation Move That Damned Application That We Were Supposed To Be Moving In January. I was happy. Then it all went wrong. I discovered that our test migration of the application that looked so promising, was in fact not working in one specific but very important area. After two full days plus unpaid overtime including several hours of chatting with the experts and demonstrating the problem, we have absolutely no clue what is wrong. It's a total show stopper. The migration has been delayed yet again. And I'm quite concerned about the limited number of options we are left with. So that's all a bit stressful and depressing.

But on the plus side, the glorious summer weather has stayed with us all week. Didn't get to enjoy it much on Thursday and Friday, but the weekend is lovely. I'm sitting outside as I type this. My eyes in the shade but my feet in the sun :)

I know that whole thing of love and hating one's job at the same time. I live like that constantly! I still don't know if I'm going to leave my job or not. I'm trying to work out if I still like my job enough to stay around.

Actually, I usually love my job. I get frustrated sometimes, but on the whole I love it. What caught my eye here was the phrase about wonderful summer weather. It's rained like hell here, and now it's gotten cold! It feels like a november morning.
