Etc etc. Update [2007-9-11 9:37:55 by spiralx]: LHuSi Beer poll inside!

*waves to everyone*

It's been a while hasn't it? Let's see, in the meantime I've

changed jobs and am now working for the British Medical Journal, much better, even though I'm having to do actual work most of the time.
split up with my gf of three and a half years and am currently single.
moved around over the place and am currently looking for a new place.
done stuff.

Well there's a nice summary of three years of my life or so. How's everyone else doing?

Get to the stories of rampant drug usage already!

Nice to have you back.

Actually I've been reasonably good this year apart from a few benders here and there. It's been crap lol.

Perhaps so. I did manage to break my boss's husband via the power of ketamine though. But he is a Linux developer, so it's ok. Although it might not be if she sees this, as she sits next to me.

Welcome back, I've scored some excellent drugs by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #7 Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 08:49:37 AM EST

sulfasalazine, it turned me from an exhausted limping arthritic cripple into a normal feeling 41 year old, highly recommended.

Other than that, about the same.

: Excellent! by spiralx (2.00 / 0) #9 Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 08:50:40 AM EST

That's great news. This year I've been discovering prescription drugs, xanax is fun, if a little dangerous when combined with ketamine and main roads.

One small problem. I haven't met you before so we had better get some other faces I do know like Breaker and Herring otherwise I'll never find you.

Had a nice holiday in Bulgaria with a whole load of mates as a couple of our friends were getting married. Very nice over there, cheap, friendly and the women... nice. Very.
And had my ex-ex-gf phoning me up and telling me she still loves me, despite her current boyfriend. And then not remembering it in the morning. Apparently. Still enough to break my brain all through festival season.

yup by Merekat (2.00 / 0) #30 Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 09:53:39 AM EST

Weather is good (there is some other than rain), much less stressful in return for an increase in silly rules, easy access to mountains so I can maybe become a less shit snowboarder.

Needed to get out of Ireland as it and people were doing my head in. Husband's employers obliged by providing a paid move so I tapped my local contacts and got me a job here too.

Hey man by kwsNI (2.00 / 0) #34 Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 10:01:53 AM EST

Welcome back, good to see you're still around. British Medical Journal, eh? Did the background in pharmacuticals help at all (you know someone had to say it)?

3 years, let's see... took plenty of baths and a wife, moved around the country a bit, bought a house and settling down a bit now.

I left my "relevant" experience out ;) by spiralx (2.00 / 0) #36 Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 10:07:14 AM EST

wow by R343L (2.00 / 0) #38 Tue Sep 11, 2007 at 10:43:37 AM EST

I was not expecting that nick to have a diary in it on my hotlist. In fact it's so long ago that I don't remember if I even commented in your diaries enough for you to know who I am.

That said, I am giving you a life summary as well: move to SFia, USia; live a bit; break up with my SO as well.

Welcome back to the husi! Although BMJ sounds like a job that at least has the benefit that people can think "wow, he works for them?" rather than being like "what company was that?". Makes it easier at dinner conversations with strangers. :)

And yes, it's nice to work for someone that has a good reputation and all that. And nicer to work somewhere you're appreciated for putting in hard work.

three years, huh? by iGrrrl (2.00 / 0) #67 Wed Sep 12, 2007 at 12:16:01 PM EST

They created me a position from contractor to real person. I created a position for toxicfur, stole an admin, and created another position for another writer. I got a new title to reflect my new manager status, and took over the big corner office to turn it into the greater grant-writing co-prosperity sphere. toxicfur promises to kick me in the shins if I turn into a pointy-haired boss, and her desk is close enough to pull it off.

Little K is in Spanish Immersion first grade, and MJ started his second year of preschool. My husband had a jazz gig last night, and the band has a gig on Saturday.
