Sorry for the lack of entries, but I've had some very up and down emotions at work again (so what's new :o))
I'm starting to look upon these negative times as positive now, as it means that I'm actually starting to take action and do something about my situation. I'm looking into a lot of areas within my current job and the industry as a whole and trying to work out what it is that I want to do, and what makes best use of my strengths. I would like to keep up to date with the latest technology and become fluent in .NET, still sticking to the programmer within me, but I would also like to pursue a more people facing role, which could mean progressing to management, which I am quietly confident about doing and think I would really enjoy. I have spoken to some people here at work and it seems that they may now be taking me seriously about progressing to this kind of role, we'll see...
Other than that, I had a great weekend a couple of weeks ago when Angela & Steve came to Cambridge. We went for lunch at the Galleria, watched the punts go by, then strolled into the center of town and wandered around market square - twas very nice! :o)
Last weekend was good too. I dropped my wheels off to some dodgey back-street garage, in a place where I swear they must have filmed some sort of chain-saw or mad axe-man type film, to be refurbished. The wheels were in a terrible state in some places and so can't wait to have a nice new shiny set of wheels to finish off my car.
Last night was the first 'Life Drawing' class, which was very interesting. I can't believe just how tiring it was to be learning new skills in how to draw the human body. The sheer amount of concentration left me very tired afterwards indeed, though I still managed to sneak a pint in at the Master Mariner with Biro-man...
This weekend is a Josh weekend, and it's the weekend before his birthday. I have bought him a few bits already, but his main present will be to take him to the toy shop and have him pick out something that he wants, which I'm guessing will be Lego based...
Oh, and I started Physio on my foot on Tuesday. Already it feels a lot better, now that I am doing the correct stretching for it and they blasted it with ultra-sound. I have another appointment today and this should be a weekly thing for the next 6 weeks, I'm guessing. Need I say it again, but I can't wait to get back to running around and playing sport again!!! :o)
