ohh, which one? It's something I've been contemplating.

Most importantly, does it by chance also have a wired port or two, as well?

Just went with this TP Link one. And yeah one wired port. Works fine. Modem is at the front of the house so just needed to extend the signal to the kitchen and a bit of the garden as it was a bit patchy for Spotify and phones kept switching between wireless and data which means you get no signal really!

Didn't work to well when I had it beside two walls at 90 degree angles but popped in into the plug on the kitchen counter and works great now.

I had a *lovely* dream about Jon Snow/Kit Harrington last night

I've just finished my second week at work and am still enjoying it. I really hope this lasts as it will be the first job that I have actually enjoyed.

Good on you Yog.  I had a job I enjoyed once, when temping for a few months, it was like going to the pub with all your mates every night, except without the alcohol.  We just used to piss about and talk stupid shit all night and it was easy to smash out our targets in the first few hours and then just take it easy for the rest of the night.  

If you can be happy in work it is a big part of your life, so fingers crossed for you

Cheers Spindles. You are so right, in that job satisfaction is very important. It's odd though, in that I previously worked for a housing charity for 25 years as oppossed to working now in the private sector. You'd have thought working for a charity would be cushty. It was at first but then, like many others, the chairty became corporate. I spent too many years in that later environment watching what others and myself had helped to create being ripped apart by the inept and the greedy.

Hope life's treating you well.

I found out that someone broke in to my wife's old flat on Friday night and we have a notion as to who it was that did it. They kicked the door in and trashed the place a little. I'm glad we decided to just enjoy the weekend instead of exacting revenge in a shock and awe type style. This is making me happy - I didn't choose the wrong path despite the pressure to do so. My wife had at first got on to her dealer to see what he could do. He could do quite a lot as it happened. No surprises there. Luckily she was talked out of that action by her son and me.

So, I hear you cry, how the fuck do you know it was them? I do because the close people around them told lies and stories that didn't add up. They only made sense if they were 'sheltering' the guilty.

Only a few weeks away till I go on a break to Munich for about four days! Really excited for this one. If anyone has any good recommendations for beerkellers then it'd be pretty helpful. It's my first time going to Germany. I've always wanted to go.

^I've actually just booked my holiday to Munich next year for Oktoberfest.

Nice, I'm going early december so will miss oktoberfest time but there will still be the christmas markets I guess.

[jump]

As long as they have beer and sausages on sale too I doubt there will be much difference anyway.

I've got shit on my plate but I feel alive, which is making me happy right now.

No problems in my MOT

[oneeye]

My wonderful daughter getting her dream job as an ICU nurse! Went for interview this morning, just had the offer this afternoon, starts next Oct upon successful graduation of her nursing degree. 

If you only knew the journey she has been on to get to this point; there isn't a dry oneeye in the house.  

Off out to celebrate!!

[grumpyhack]

Congrats Oneeye.  My daughter got her mental health nursing degree last year and is now happily working in Bristol after being offered all three jobs she interviewed for.  Things may change for the next generation after Gideon's announcement today that students studying to become nurses will no longer get grants, just loans.

[gary1979666]

New job!  Only a 6m temp thing, but likely to get extended.  Also means I can have Dec and Jan off, as getting my notice paid.

[bunique]

Congrats Gary! Glad you didn't have to wait long for a new one

Called in on my other daughter today to see how she's getting on with her twins born 10 weeks ago.  Helped bottle feed one while she fed the other.  Got mine settled and off to sleep in my arms when a visitor called. "Ooh, could I hold her?" she asked.  So I passed her over.  Two minutes later babe threw up big time.  Milk all over the visitor and not a splash on me!  Lucky escape - or it's the way I hold 'em..
