Free!
(TrackBack)Woo, as of 2 hours I am officially unemployed. Where others may be in a natural state of worry and aprehension, I am going to side with glee.
2 years is enough to start falling into a depressing routine, and while moving to Oxford shook things up momentarily, there's still the horrible weekly cycle of monotony. I am soon free of it's shackles, blessed with the ability to slip into what I call "University/Internet Timezone", this alllows the user to move into more of an American style routine where you go to bed at ~4am GMT and get up at midday. However, to truly experience U/IT you have to stay up surfing the net or watching early morning TV until you can't honestly go on any longer and you feel like you're going to implode with boredom. Its amazing how quickly you can waste an entire week.
BUT of course I don't have a week to waste. For my first week off work I have an incredibly wild schedule lined up, one to rival that of a circus performer. In no apparent order:
Car MOT, work leaving lunch, book some accomodation, complete my self-assessment, clean my flat (including the oven damnit), entertain the mysterious carpet cleaning man and spend excessive amounts of time trying to save £1 on some bits I need off Ebay.
Anyway, back to being one of the nations statistical unemployed, I had a good deal of fun at SecureHosting and certainly appreciate the work environment was one that I'll probably never match. I should give them their laptop back really...
