The Longest Week

I have finally had some days off from work, my first for 3 weeks, and have spent them editing MySpace and this blog. In the background, I have had Last FM playing, and there have been some really good songs.

However, now I must drag myself out to town to post a parcel and do other errands. I'm waiting for Within Temptation's new album The Heart of Everything to come through the post that I had on pre order as well.

Times they are a'movin'

It's been a while since my last update so here goes. Cropduster were great live. The chess is still going well, though I tend to make some obvious mistakes. I sign my contract for the new house this Tuesday (which has taken a while), and work is the same as ever - tedious. I have to admit though, I've been there six years in the same job, having abandoned my management training when I knew I would be getting a divorce. However, it's free shares time again, so I can hold out a little longer.

For any recruiters out there, my e-box is hungry for career opportunities to be passed its way. I enjoy work that involves with people on a face-to-face basis, though not in sales or marketing (which limits my options). I'm particularly good at explaining concepts and putting across ideas, which is why I often have to look after the new staff in my current role. I'm highly numerate and literate, and good with I.T.

I enjoy researching my family tree, and have built up a good collection of primary sources to reinforce that research.

I'm based in the North West but I don't have to stay here, so drop me a line.
