Catching up/Coming Down

[f4f3]

Just drove 200 miles over some of the most beautiful roads I know - in the dark and it was raining, so I didn't enjoy it as much as usual.

No writing at all this weekend, and I'm too jittery to start now - I'll catch up next week, honest.

Random stuff: Ain't Bonfire Night Great? We celebrate an attempt to blow up parliament - are we celebrating the attempt or the failure? A few years ago, I wouldn't have asked (burning the Catholic in effigy was a bit of a give away) but we seem to have stopped burning Guy's - in fact, I only saw one in a pram this year and it kind of took me aback.

When I was little, I wanted to be a... An athlete or a lawyer or a writer
At University/College, I studied... Law - Matt Murdock and Petroceli have a lot to be blamed for
My first real job was as a... Repo man. I was a graduate trainee with Ford, they gave us a car and said "While you're out, if you see any of the cars on this list..."
I have also spent a lot of time as a...pawn in game of life.
I am currently working as an IT consultant who knows nothing about IT, a communications manager who knows too much about communication, and a writer.
I am happy/hideously disappointed with my career choice. Still surprised daily - once I make a choice I'll let you know.
I would secretly like to be a... rich man, tiddly tiddly tiddle.

Planning on spending the rest of the night making kedgeree and listening to Deacon Blue. All together now:

"When will you, make my phone ring..."

Well, it was a pretty small part of my job, but by far the most interesting. Not much problem with guns in Scotland in those days, and the job was mostly social engineering.
