I went for an interview today and got the job. It's for a position in Limerick in an office in the next building over from where I was so I won't be going far. I start tomorrow though so I'll be looking for a place during the week. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long to find a place but we'll see. The money's a bit better too but not quite as much ( Read more... )

Well, the holiday in San Fran was good. It was really cool to see Niana and Anna again after all the time. Niana in particular surprised me in that she's not quite the same person that I remember - much more easy going for a start! It was cool though, I had a really good time over there ( Read more... )

Well, I have to get my ass in gear for this. So far, I've done most of my packing for going over to the states but there's still some to do. Before you think I'm compulsive or something (ok I am but I have a good reason this time...), the reason is that I have to move nearly all of my stuff out of the room this weekend as I'll be working on next ( Read more... )

I got the news today that the company is closing the Limerick office so I'll have to move to Naas to keep it basically. They want to be out of there for the start of October but that's going to make things tricky for me as I'll only be just back from holidays. I'm also only just after moving into a new place here and this'll mean that I'm moving ( Read more... )

Well this being the first proper post in quite a while I suppose I have a lot to catch up on but frankely, I ain't going to 'cos there's too much past so if you don't mind guys, I'll continue from this point forward ( Read more... )

Back! At last! I moved house here which actually has broadband so I'm finally able to post again. I hate doing it from work for obvious reasons.

I'll post again soon - it's late here at the mo

Well, I now have a nephew to go along with my two neices. He was born on Saturday morning and weighted in at 9lb and 1oz (4112g). My sister was not in labour for very long and was out of hospital by 12 the next morning (she wanted to go to a christening). She was in pretty good form though considering ( Read more... )

Gad, sorry about the big gap there folks. When I moved to Limerick I discovered that there's no internet connection here in the house and I generally don't like posting to my journal via a work computer (sorry - paranoia). Anyway, I've managed to get a (kind of ok) internet connection here in the house. It's one of those modems that you get from ( Read more... )

Toward the end of the Sunday service, the priest asked ( Read more... )

Well, that's where I'll be working for the next while (that's only half an hour from Shannon Viola4, hint, hint ;-) ). Anyway, things are looking up although being turned down for the job in Cork was something of a surprise I have to say. I really thought I had that job in the back. Just goes to show that it doesn't do to count your chickens before ( Read more... )
