Freedom? What freedom?

Bet you though there wouldn’t be many work posts now, eh? Well, buddy, think again. Sheesh. The last day at work was fairly uneventful. Went out for lunch to a nice Indian and then I spend most of the afternoon figuring out how to fit everything from my desk into my bag. In the end I had to leave the chair and the computer. Managed to pilfer a decent amount of stationary though.

And in the two days I’ve now had off I’ve been busier than the last two weeks are work. Mind you, that wouldn’t be too hard to be fair. But anyhow, I think I’d have been better off staying in a Full Time job. At least it gave me some time to relax.

So it looks like I’m now involved in about 4 projects in total. 2 of which are due to finish very shortly, and one of which is only about 1.5 days work. But the other one. Gah.

And the reason I find myself in them is because I’m too nice. I really should just learn to say no to people, but I don’t. Don’t get me wrong, I am getting paid a decent rate for them, but if it weren’t for people I know then I wouldn’t have got involved. Or rather, wouldn’t have felt obligated to get involved.

What’s worse, is that I can see all 4 of them coming back to bite me in the arse (or ass for our American readers). Hopefully they won’t … but they all presently have the potential to do so. I’ll no doubt go into more detail at a later date, but suffice to say that this break is not very restful as of now.

But, on the plus side, I now have a “2” key on my keyboard again. Cost a whopping £1.84 in total (beats £70 for a new keyboard from Dell) but in typical so close fashion it’s a US key, meaning I have 2 @ symbols and no “ key. Oh well.
