Guitars and Life

... same hotel. The slow settling in to the life of a wandering consultant is continuing. Back in the regular hotel, in another room... that looks not surprisingly like the one I was in the week before last. Last weeks one was a radical difference... only since they put in my an "accessible" room. I presumed this was because the week before that I'd done my back in and was walking around like Quasimodo! There is little to write about here sadly... work, hotel, work, hotel, home... seems the pattern of the moment. Had a nice weekend home though, we went to see The Script at The O2 - Daughter of Furtheron being completely made up by this, singing, screaming etc. Mrs F enjoyed it although she is not well at all - not like her. She has battled on through a nasty cold going to work when probably she shouldn't have, largely since others were off sick and she thought she needed to in. Well she has ended up with an infection... or two! Her throat is nasty and I think ...

You know the happenings of the past few days make you stop and think... well me anyway. Japan - I can't begin to describe all that, how utterly awful and how it shows us that with all our technology etc. nature will have her own way. The nuclear thing is dreadful but sadly a consequence - build for a scale 8 earthquake and a 6m wave... not a 9 quake and a 7m wave. But all those people now freezing, no food, no heat etc. 21st century living wiped away in an instant. Closer to home. My daughter has been nominated for captain of her swimming team - how cool. I'm not sure about the working away from home still - it is better than the stupid commute but I really miss being home and there is so much hassle in the organising of silly things when you are not about in the week - little domestic admin etc. it is a pain. I found out that a guy who was working on the programme that I'm on committed suicide last year because of the stress of work. How so sad! It is just a flippin...

Hello to anyone still left who can be bothered to drop by to see whether I've fallen completely off the face of the earth or not. Sorry it has been a little ... er .... manic. It is all the new job. I joined on 7th Feb, spent a week in the head office learning about the company, processes, policies etc. On the Thursday of that week I was introduced to a client as a potential for a new assignment and new role they needed. I was accepted for that and so the next week I had two days out and about meeting a few others in the company and finding out about them and what they were doing then on the Wednesday I was straight into the new assignment on a three "bootcamp". I then started the role with the client team on the following Monday. All following so far? You're doing better than me then! That was three weeks ago... only three weeks! The role is officially based in one team at one location but I'm "deployed" to work with another team who are large...
