Let's hope you don't get it as badly as I did.

Went to a new hospital outside Reading last week, it was built around a rabbit warren of a housing estate and we got a bit lost as the Sat Nav was outdated

Even my phone was having problems are there were so many dead-end roads that stopped at cul de sacs

In the course of our adventures we drove down a Bus Lane that wasn't in any way marked as one way, just has bus lane on the road.

So got a £60 penalty notice, oddly enough if I pay within 14 days they reduce it to £30, no idea why as its a council issued ticket so none of the tricks you can pull with private car park tickets apply.

So bit of a Yay at the end.

YAY: I've been offered a job interview at a place on the outskirts of Rome

YAY: They'll pay for me to fly out, and two nights accomodation

NAY: In a four day period, I'll spend practically two whole days in the air

MEH: Lady T isn't sure she wants to relocate 3 kids plus animals and all our stuff


It's a five person interview panel (including an external member [ :hat: ] ) plus someone from HR in Germany skyping in.

I'm... not sure if I've aimed too high, this sounds pretty serious stuff and the panel are made of smart guys, some with considerable reputations. The external member is almost a 'star' in his field and while I have my own strengths I'm certainly not at that level.

I might get rumbled, they might realise that I'm not quite as good as I made out...

Just give it your best shot, Taxalot. Even if it doesn't work out, the experience should be powerful interesting.

Relax, enjoy it, and get the job!

Shopping for new tv for the games room yesterday.

Then the main tv packed up, so I'm shopping for 2 tvs.

Then I watched a video of a man fix his tv with a hairdryer, do I'm back to shopping for one tv (for now).

I'm not sure which of those are yays and which are nays.

Thanks mate. I can't really lose, as i really like the job and the place I'm in right now, so it's not like I'm desperate. It allows me to be picky.

Overall, I'm excited.

A friend I met through another forum was recently diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia.
On the up side, he's been told that survival rates are very high and he's otherwise very fit and healthy.

Yeah AML is the worse one. It took my cousin and damn nearly my uncle too who was saved by some wonderful person's stem cells.

Hope your friend comes through ok.

Not a massive nay compared to some in this thread, but, today has seen Jazzy:
    Get a parking ticket (first ever!)
    Get so low on fuel I have to take a detour and coast into the nearest petrol station
    Miss my dentist appointment.

My yay is that I got to see a lovely colleague (currently on maternity) and her month old baby who let me cuddle him for a whole hour. :)

Might just consider today over though and go to bed!

Just finished a video for a client and he's emailed me back saying. "It's a wrap on the video. It's the best we're going to do this time around! :P Thanks for all your efforts"

I'm probably reading too much into it as he has been really positive throughout the whole process so far. This email just seems like it's a "good enough" type deal?

Never mind. I'm pleased with it and my invoice is on the way!

I guess the client has a budget and can't spend any more on it, I wouldn't worry unless they complained about it. Good enough is good enough.

Well my car has cost me then best part of £1,400 but it's running great now.

Our loft conversion idea has had to be rethought, costing us more money but it'll retain the huge back bedroom and give us a bigger open plan 3rd floor.

Realised with the help of Markg that my RC transmitter is borked and that's why (mostly) I've been having terrible crashes recently but I found a bargain new one that I had just enough money to scrape together and grab.
