Nope, they haven’t slung me out the door just yet.

(When the time’s right, I’d rather leap through that door myself).

A recruiter, you say? The mystery that is Lan acquires another plot-twist.

And the 12th is your birthday? Uncanny coincidence. Then I shall raise a glass to you as well as to my new house / housemates.

Grand. I’m back in Hellsea now, so if you’re about, come say Eyup.

I’m thinking I’ll be popping things back and forth on the weekend of the 5th & 6th December, if that’s any good for you…? Going through to York just for the day, coming back late afternoon or evening (I’ll probably still officially be here looking after my Ma).

ok this post was so dramatical, and i loved it. at first i thought you were saying you were being replaced in the workspace and i was worried. because as a recruiter, i hate hearing about layoffs. but it looks like you have some GREAT things coming up in the year, you get to hang with your mom and really, all this is happening around dec 12? that’s my birthday. a great day to start a new You, methinks.

i have been to Acomb a few times in the past. much nicer area. where you are no is sooooooo easy to get to though, crap for parking, drive is way to narrow, but easy to get to.
still, it’ll be an adventure (of the not really adventurous type)

let me know when you need tranport, as long as it isn’t next weekend (which i know it isn’t) all is well.

It did indeed. Microsoft build those things tough. Yes, still works fine – or at least it did a year ago when I last played on it.

Thanks for your good thoughts. I hope everything goes like clockwork and that I’m blogging from my new room this time next month! (Sat in the bay window with a panoramic view of the city, cup of coffee, easy chair, toasty radiator….perfect).

In every sense. Yes.

And…nail on head. I hardly know town these days. But now I’ll be a lot closer to being part of it – and I’ll walk through it every weekday, on the way to work. Looking forward to it.

How’s you daan saaf, sir?

Coffee or beer would be grand. We can tour the fleshpots of Hellsville. Which sounds very Mad Max. Which is strangely appropriate. Mad Max in green wellies, perhaps.

It’s beyond the train station, Holgate area, edge of Acomb, so it’s round the ringroad and another 15 minutes on a journey from the Hull direction, I believe. But it’s not in the centre of town, so it’s out the way of the worst snarls of traffic. Nice area, too.

I say this after experiencing my first bit of “trouble” in York. Was walking to the shop just a while ago – and a woman shouted at me (initially “BOO! HAHAHAHAH” and then “come on then, COME ON THEN”. Battered out of her tree, but spoiling for a fight and with something in her hand – I didn’t linger to find out what, just turned my back and walked off while she told me she screamed “I’LL &^£$&^! ‘AVE YER, COME ON”.

So all of a sudden, I won’t miss this area on this side of town. It’s supposed to be the roughest part of York. Abruptly, it feels like it.

Thank you.

Fingers crossed she does. She’s had more than enough to deal with – and it turns out that during an earlier operation she had, there was a screw-up that has either aggrivated or directly led to the problem that had her in surgery this time. Eeee. Life.

As for developments….you’ve got some of your own. Sounds like 2010 will be an exciting new chapter for you as well!
