I'm back, and far too tired for a proper entry. But here's a few headlines; I'll expand later.

We went to a cottage in the country for the weekend. Wound up doing absolutely nothing. T'was fun.

I met cholten99's sister, brother-in-law and nephew. They seem nice.

Interesting game of Immortal. Learned that I much prefer 7th Sea.

Got home; cat had grown, flat had been cleaned. Weirdness.

Have finished fic I've been bashing at for months on end. Will send it out to 'preview list' as soon as I add BGM.

That's it. Too pooped. Later.

Interview, Overview

First thing's first...

NEW JOB! WOO-HOO!

*ahem* Okay, it's a senior position for one of the consultants at St Bart's cancer care unit. I'm going to be top of my pay scale given my experience, so I'm looking at minimum 18k. They were well impressed with me -- given the typing speed and the tons of experience I've garnered over years of MDA (including what Gloria called 'project management', which had to do with the correspondence monitoring software working group I was on lo these many moons ago) and temping and bloody ChelWest, I guess maybe they should be. I start Monday, so that gives me the best part of an entire week to just chill.

Not that I haven't been doing enough of that this weekend, I suppose. I mean, despite the stresses involved in travelling from London to Lynmouth and then Lynmouth to Tilsbury and then Tilsbury to Colchester (through Bath) and then Colchester to Enfield... What was I saying? Oh, yes, that there was relaxation to be had. Mostly Saturday involved vegging out in the cottage reading with no distractions -- no Internet, no phone (no reception unless you climbed a bloody great hill), no demands of any kind. Despite the fact that there wasn't a room in the cottage that wasn't decorated in pink flowers and that bloody handstand pig was really freaky, a good time was had by ... well, me anyway. And then Colchester and game.

( Anyway, on to the game. )

Tonight, we're having a general hanging-out session at Kat and Mark's. And of course, I don't have to worry about how long I spend there because I don't have to worry about getting up in the morning or looking for a job because I got a good one! Whee!

Final weirdness -- checked my alternate mail accounts and discovered that cholten99's father had e-mailed me all about his migraines and how a lot of his are triggered by certain foods. I'd point out to him that I seldom eat exactly the same thing day to day and I don't think you can attribute three months of solid head pain to eating one particular thing, but it feels like too much effort. After all, it's nice that he cares.
