First post in far too long. Due to sleep deprivation I've posted nothing for over two months. Well, typing in Chepstow, the day before my sister gets back, here I am again. I hope to post over Christmas, and maybe into the new year until the job bites back on the 6th.

Everything is going fine. It seems like ages since I could say that, perhaps September 2000, but after a stressful two years I seem to have landed on my feet again. This blog, I think was handy in proving to myself that I could write after the doubters at IPC and then First Data. Ran into Liz from First Data at the Westcliff Casino, which was enlightening in that she said after my comment that she'd made the job work out, "Well all that proves is that I was a better liar than you!" Certainly didn't get that impression from her at the time. Wish I'd known. Oh well, in a way it's probably best I didn't know as I would've taken the job even less seriously.
Fight Club is on tonight - excellent film. I hope I can tune the telly in time because Dad will be watching the West Wing. Might end up playing Mario Sunshine instead, which is an excellent game, and also a source of pride- I'm earning enough cash to justify buying a Game Cube.

What a juxtaposition. A cartoon Italian plummer and an ugly American
