Back on the 22nd of April, I posted about a new chapter. Wow. What a difference. It's not the role I thought I was going to, and I'm not doing my absolute ideal role, but wow. To get away from that previous mis-managed incompetence ridden hell hole was a blessing from somewhere magical. Call it heavenly, karmic (thanks Earl), or just good frickin luck, thank goodness for the move. I've even learning some Powershell for use with VMWare ESX (its good shit).

Goodbye you miserable place, you paid well, drank my soul, and I escaped!

Its time for a new chapter (it has been time for a while), and as such I am leaving my current employer in 4 weeks and moving on...

Snow again in London this morning, and the excuses to not make work have started. Not much snow really, just a half inch dusting or so but clearly they have run out of grit as all the tube platforms had snow sitting on them and the A4 was a pile of slush! BBC say it should give out sometime this morning so hopefully getting home is no problem.

1 day until one month off from work. Did I say woohoo already? Woohoo. Probably the most mentally required break I’ve ever had!

No, not those wonderful Jim Henson creations. I mean people you work with, or for. Muppets, if you will. I work for the head muppet (but I won’t call him Kermit, that would be insulting to my favourite frog). A team leader of a technical team, who dabbles in technical issues without any suitable technical knowledge, and seems to have been appointed blindly by someone who understands even less about the area than the appointee. A team leader who has no leadership skill, no personal touch and not the tiniest of instinct when it comes to being a leader. This is the man I work for. I have 8 more days. As Diana rightly point out, this is a good thing. Muppets (T-8)

Counting the clock down the December 19th. End of contract day, but no matter what happens I’ll be off for about a month anyway. Pity I won’t be able to fit a ski trip in there somewhere, will just have to wait till March!
