Sitting in my new life drinking cider from Middle Farm, am I happy? I think most definitely would be the answer, would I change anything if I could? Well of course I fucking would, nobody’s life is perfect, but on a score of 1 to 10; I would say it’s about an 8 and that must be good. Work most probably will become more interesting as Roland Mr Electronic Design Engineer disappears to have a baby and the rest of our department will be required to fill in for him. I thumb twiddle at work sometimes, I enjoy the design side of things but I work with a different set of tools, I think outside the box, this is how I have proved my worthiness in the engineering spectrum, but I’m needed to help initiate procedures… Procedures! No bugger would understand them, I need a chat with Richard Feynman. I work alone.
Jade has buggered off on holiday with her mate till Friday so I’m gonna be worrying about her, the bastards at Cricklewood Electronics sent me the wrong package of transistor for my amplifier! And to top it all my pasta has just boiled dry!!! If these can be the total of my worries throughout life I will be very lucky, but I doubt it.

“Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common. [No Shit]
When it is transmitted, it does not always cause human influenza; often, [only pig flu] the only sign of infection is the presence of antibodies, detectable only by laboratory tests.[Since when do you have lab tests for common flu?]
When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic (A disease which can be spread from animals to humans) swine flu. [We don’t know the source of every case of flu, do we now]
People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. [No mention of Mexico here]
Only about fifty such transmissions have been recorded since the mid-20th Century, when identification of influenza subtypes became possible. (Eating pork does not pose a risk of infection.) [But snogging a pig?]
Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. [Sounds like a mother of a hangover to me].”

Bit of a wierd mood, sitting in front of a TV watching crap while listening to traffic passing by, contemplating. I suppose with all the changes going on it’s only natural to feel a little odd… The things that normally exist within my comfort zone don’t seem to have a place at the moment and that concerns me, the future holds some reassurance as I arrange things to make me feel more at home. I’m looking forward to settling into the new house and re-establishing a sense of normality back into my life, although slightly anxious I am also hugely relieved, this is going to be a busy weekend.

Sunday AM as per the norm, moving into new house; picked up the keys Wednesday and have acquired the company estate car so have been moving a majority of the smaller stuff. Yesterday Jade helped me build her bed and desk and we more or less completed her room, the rest needs more in the way of larger furniture to be moved in when I get the Van Friday and my Bro will be chipping in Saturday, we hope to lay on a few munchies in the evening in a semi house warming as a thanks for peoples’ help and to anyone who wants to pop along for a nose.

Struggling with computers at work at the moment, first of all lost the network so had no Internet connectivity so I nabbed a mobile wireless card. Realising I have now bypassed the company network I set about downloading some of the useful apps that were blocked by the company Internet Security software. Ive spent the best part of 2 days making significant changes to the design of my Multiplexer PCB only to have the PC crash and corrupt the file, so it is gone!!! I’m running the design software on a seperate PC with Windoze 2000 and its about as stable as the Middle East, so lots of fun with computers today…Grrr!!!
