General Update

[gmul]

This year is one to be stepping out of some comfort zones. A significant change is that I've gone down to 4 days a week at work so I can persue "other things". The general nature of these things is intended to be heading towards "stuff that doesn't require being based anywhere in particular". Or to look at another way, stuff I can also do/be based

Wow, you have been busy. Good to hear you're enjoying yourself.

I had no idea that the counselling stuff had ground to a sort of a halt. We haven't seen you for *ages*, so do please drop in (alone or accompanied) for a Galaxy hot choc when you're trundling M5wards!

I never seem to be passing at a sociable time but will call if it's likely. Look forward to meeting Ron and Henry. There's no practical way to do the counselling and a full time day job so this also helps in getting used to that...

Too many Rs, not enough Ds :-(

PTLLS. Don't get too excited. I almost gnawed my own leg off with excitement at my first one last week - 3 hour session, I did it all in about 61 minutes and then started at the walls for the rest of it, and only 2 including me finished it at all in the time. One had done less than 1/3 of the work.

And then the tutor says, "See, I did warn everyone that this was intense and fast-and-furious." Furious, possibly, but not in a good way :-(

See, this why I still need someone to proof my stuff. It was late...

I'm not excited so much as just need the certificate! Given that this place is less than half the price of some of the alternatives and at a convenient time, I can forgive a little sitting around.

Well, that shouldn't be difficult :)
