I knew that I said that I was going to do this update later on but I was bored so I’ve decided to do 2 in 1 day you luck people.

So the biggest news is that my Nan has passed on, which was although perhaps not a great shock because of the state she was in (she had, had two strokes, was no longer eating/drinking and away with the fairies whenever you spoke to her) it was really upsetting she has always been a very large part of my life. At the moment mum and dad are around the other side of the world and can’t be reached so they don’t know (they had said that they didn’t what to know till they came back) they come back on my birthday (24th June) so my birthday won’t be a day I’m looking forward to and I’ll be at home with my parents. I also have a driving test tomorrow so I’m hoping that I can keep it altogether and pass this time but I’ve become a lot more confident now in driving so I’m not so bothered anymore. Yesterday Katie’s mum Angela turned 50 and had the party on Saturday which was great but every so often I did feel a bit guilty that I was enjoying my self. My nan’s funeral will be on the 1st July.

Nick had a bit of moan at me because when I found out what had happened I took off the Thursday and Friday, which didn’t’ seem to pleased about then tried to get me to see a customer on the Friday in Ireland. Now I was quite shocked by this as usually Nick is actually a good boss and I thought hang on, when he said that. However I spoke to the customer and have organised my visit for after I return from holiday. Also as I mentioned earlier CEC let me down so I’m off to rattle his cage.

I pretty much think thats everything really. I’m off to catch a flight

Well I’m in Dublin airport at the moment, waiting to get a flight home or to East Midlands Airport then get the Bus Link to the train station then a train to Birmingham New Street and possibly a bus back to the flat or maybe Katie might pick me up. We did a sales demo to an existing customer (Gerards). They had our system installed but it was never implemented in a structured way mainly down to the way Phil worked. They are also looking at tenders from other vendors. My gut feeling is that they won’t go with us because of what has happened in the past. It doesn’t bother me in fact I’d be glad they are a bit of an arse of a customer.

The most annoying thing of today as that the software that John (who I refer to as CEC, my Cake Eating colleague) has let me down the Weighing Program let me down and what with everything that has happened and the fact that I’m going on holiday for a week on Friday (first break this year) I have lost a lot of passion and have become empathetic about my job but seeing what has happened I plan to kick a bit of arse and get things organised. So stay tunes for details.

I’m sorry I didn’t realise this was going to turn into a bit of rant. I will post an update let about the other stuff thats happening. As well as a new podcast which it’ll be a couple of weeks.
