What's New

Adjusting

¦ dialling in from sky bunker ¦

19:56 GMT, Tuesday, 18th September. Just come upstairs after eating a yummy meal I made, of thin-cut loin steaks with asparagus, in a cream and pepper sauce, with corn on the cob served with melted butter. I have an hour before my self-imposed computer curfew kicks in. A little rule I made for myself a few years ago... no working on the computer past 9 O'clock, although I think I might have to nudge that back by an hour when I start working my shifts.

So today was my second day of training. Pretty good; the company is very professional and there are aspects to the job I never guessed... so I'm learning something new. I also completed the first examination this afternoon, which goes toward my application for a license (from the governing body). I cut loose around 4 PM, so I was able to drive into town for a coffee. Interesting how having your day "occupied" by a job makes you appreciate and treasure your free hours...I've had 22 months of every day being my own... but in a strange way I quite enjoy the change in perspective. I might not be saying that a few months down the line when I'm sick of it and craving for my freedom back, but right now, it's all positive.

Last night I headed over to Simon P's for a mini-session of D&D. Very enjoyable. I spent tonight preparing the next scenario for Yellow Dawn; tomorrow night it's a Dead City run in Yellow Dawn with Nice Guy Tony: I'm really enjoying the increasing pace of the roleplaying schedule.

Today was the first really cold day since summer. Quite beautiful with golden sunshine.
