Thy Flesh Consumed

Well, here I am again, after another couple of weeks of not updating this damn thing… To be honest, I really can’t be bothered right now, but I think I owe it to myself and my adoring public to fill you in on what’s been happening lately.

Most notably, Margie and I have split up, yet again. This time it’s for good, though - I’m done going over the same ground with that girl over and over again. We work opposite shifts, both lack the means of travelling to see one another since I moved and quite frankly, I think it was stupid for us to get back together again in the first place. Sure, it was fine to start with; we had a lovely time. After I moved, though, it became damn near impossible to maintain any semblance of a stable relationship. So, that’s that down the pan. Probably just as well, really, considering how much I’ve been thinking about Charlotte again lately…

Hrrrr, what next..? Uhm… Ah! Work! I have a new job now! I’m working for a company called “Just Fir", who makes sheds, fences, gazebos, all your usual wooden garden stuff. It’s tiring work, but satisfying knowing I’ve actually done something in the day, rather than sitting on my ass. And of course, there’s the added bonus of actually earning a wage… Quite a nice one, too, I might add. I don’t plan on staying there, but it makes for a good stopgap while I look for something more suitable. The only problems being the fact that I’m used to a late shift, having worked 1400-2200 for the last 2 years, so getting up in the mornings is still something of a chore, even after two weeks, and that my hands are slowly getting less and less useful for delicate tasks and more geared towards heavier labour. Not good, considering I rely on my hands to do the job that I hope to end up doing; namely PC maintenance. Still, needs must and all that…

Oooh, incidentally, there’s news from my other great passion in life, Outpost 10 Forward: The Senior Manager of the department I work for, The Guilds, has made me Second Assistant Manager. Basically, that means that apart from my usual duties as Team Leader for the Artists’ Guild, I’m also partly responsible for the smooth running of the rest of the Guilds. Will this aid me in my endevours to get to CL5 sometime this century? Probably not, but here’s hoping…

Well, I think that’s just about it for now. I’ll probably be back sometime in the next day or so to babble on about Charlotte for a little while, and maybe add another poem that I’ve yet to write about her, but until then, I’d like to leave you with this delightful image of Lady Beckinsale:

Thought for the day: Feeling a little sad? Look at Kate, she’ll brighten up your day…
