When an period in your life comes to an end, there is an empty feeling. Being a creature of habit, a strict routine is very important to me. I long for structure in my life. Without trying to make myself sound like unexciting, I am trying to get across my emotions. It is difficult, because I was never going to be here for a long time. Maybe I just got lucky, and then as the months went by it slowly started to run out. Maybe this is not exactly the right moment in time to reflect on the recent events. I must look to the future and moving on. After all it is never a sad day, when you leave for reasons that will in time become acceptable. Looking back, I turned down a reasonable position, by predicting the date of a future interview (the second, not the first!) and took up this contract. Wise? Time shall tell. Just briefly glimpsing back at the past four months, I looked to the cool blue winter sky so clear through my bedroom window. I smile. Smile for where I’ve been and where I’m going. The future is bright, even if outside it is cold and bleak.

The world around me changes, people come and go. Yet, I still stay the same. Is this how it is going to be? I realise there is little I can change. I am a nobody, wanting to be somebody. (With little success to date). There is plenty of time and a long road ahead. Let us just gather our thoughts before we take the next few steps. What exactly has been happening over the past ten days? A great source for the latest news in the only acceptable form, a blog.

What have I been up to for the past week? I have finally patched my personal PC with Service Pack 2. So only the family PC left now. However this is only a temporary measure. Both machines are to be wiped, and a fresh install of XP loaded on. All standard software to be installed. Then with the wonder software from Symantec an image to be created using Norton Ghost. This will eventually been burnt onto DVD so I can easily rollback all systems to their original clutter free state. The only problem now is, having two digital audio collections, on both computers. I really need to purchase a new hard drive. But then, I actually need a whole new machine. Then again, as much some of the offers by Dell are mouthwatering. Nothing, nothing can beat giving birth to your own monster. Before any of jobs can be started, I need to think of some imaginative names for my computers and network. I will of course, let you know when I find something that is suitable. This is not the only tasks on my list, my latest project still needs to be jump started. Plenty to keep me off the streets for the next few weeks. Only a few weeks mind!
