Confusion Reigns Supreme

I left the pub this evening yet again to the sound of someone whistling a certain tune, and when I got home what should I find is being shown on five?

Yup...

Ooooeeeoooeeeooo, wah wah wah.

Why did you choose this picture/image?

The reason I chose this pic? The softness of the blurred girl against the clear harsh lines of the two trains lends her an ethereal, almost ghost-like presence in this shot which I would call one of my best ever "accidentals". All I wanted to capture was the uncoupling of the trains (yes, I'm a bit of an anorak) and she just made the shot perfect.

This afternoon saw the arrival of my new A3 colour printer. Weighing in at 85kg it's quite a beastie, and it took three strapping lads to get it up on the table.

I've not been able to have a play with it yet as it's going to be linked up to my new terminal when that arrives. Hopefully that will be tomorrow. Then I'll have to look through some instruction leaflets and sign them off as seen so that I can get my login and password for the new IT system, which will make it far, far easier to look for a new job around here.

Talking of which, my boss, the one who decided that both his and my positions were surplus to requirement, has been trawling through the vacancies notices and has thrown a few my way. There was one this afternoon which caught my eye for an admin clerk in the transport section. I quite fancy the idea of working with transport after my 9 years in graphics and 11 years in registry/admin. One problem though - the closing date for applications was yesterday. Pooh. Ah, well, at least someone's keeping an eye open for me.

In other news, I have a new clock! Wooo!

The two digital displays are outside temperature on the left, and on the right indoor temperature. As you can see at 5pm it was 30C outside and a sweltering 28.9C in my office. As The Sun would say - "Phew! What a Scorcher!"

Right. Now I'm off to book my train tickets for Hull and then I've got a quiz to compile.

If only THIS had come into effect a couple of months earlier, I might not have had such a shock when I opened my last phone bill...

Ho-hum.
