I haven't had time to post on lj recently and my last post was ages ago, so I'll give a quick update on things. I have a job (for now) with the same company, but in a different position. I am no longer managing the inclusive learning disability band, I Love Thunder, as I felt it was time to pass it on to someone else, but I'm still co-ordinating ( Read more... )

I'm pissed off today. Work is shit and I'm completely swamped.
