In a moment of wanton geekishness I rushed off to Hampstead HMV to buy a copy of World of Warcraft. Have given up on real life I very much hoped to fulfill all my dreams as a Dark Elf or possibly a Dwarf in a fantasy land where I was allowed to kill people with an axe.

...on the plus side the number of dollars per day has just substantially increased owing to the fact that I am now a fully fledged member of the ICAEW and my promotion to AP has gone through at work! Woo Yay, I hear you cry in delight for your fellow human being's moderate success in life. The ceremony for admittance to the ICAEW was dull but ( Read more... )

I am Matt. Hear me ROAR.

Reader, I carried him.  Here's an update on the funny old life and times of Matt.  It's been a while, but not too long.

I should become a member of the ICAEW institute soon.  My evidence of work based learning needs to be processed and sent back.  Then I get promoted to AP as of the start of Feb. so technically I'm already on AP salary which is very ( Read more... )
