Mumble, mumble, life and work and stuff, mumble
I am attempting to think if there is anything I wish to say about my life at the moment. There's not really. The last couple of months have been a bit different from my usual unexciting life, I suppose, so I will mumble about them.
September was outstandingly disastrous, even from my accident-prone point of view, and irritatingly I rather suspect a lot of it was due to my own stupidity at various points. October has been a whole lot better, although really, really busy. That's actually a good thing, although I could always do with more sleep. Highlights of October are probably ceilidhing (and meeting my friend's brother at the ceilidh, which was odd, but nice), seeing Have I Got News for You being filmed and the jazz night. That was all the same week. Although this past weekend, which involved brunch and then a murder mystery party in the evening was also good. As was my lunch trip to Greenwich on my day off the other week. The evening with the disturbing leprechaun encounter was also fabulous. And, verily, throughout all disasters and fun things, my friends have been magnificent.
Work is a bit odd at the moment. I'm there now, doing my late night (not working particularly hard, I admit), and I have five weeks left. I've known I was going to leave since the middle of July, I didn't resign until the beginning of September and will finally leave at the end of November to start the new job on December 1st. It's very hard to motivate yourself when you have no pressing deadlines. I have little bits of things to do, but as yet nothing I'm worried I won't get done. I feel I should be working a lot harder, but I just don't have the will to. Three months notice is just far too long I think. I'm really looking forward to the new job, it will be a hell of a lot more challenging that the current one, and that will be good for me. Just hope I can do it...
Er, yeah. That's it really.
