Bug Unit

Ok, unfortunately it seems that wordpress has changed their system or something, making it impossible for me to get my pretty little avatar. But from the fact that I can’t figure out something on the computer, it should be obvious that it is Jen who writes here.

So, it’s been a while. I have been so busy manky-footing, double-crossing, interviewing and quitting, that I have scarcely had time to breath. The manky-footing you all know about. The double-crossing, interviewing and quitting are all connected to the fact that, barring a reference check that should be happening as we speak, I will soon be working for a new company. I would have preferred to leave them nameless so that I could moan about them at a later date, but as Kyle has already let the cat out of the bag, it is visitscotland.com. I am taking up the position of web analyst with them, basically seeing popular and less popular points on their site, places of high drop off, and I will then be in charge of making suggestions. I am hoping that ’suggestions’ is a euphemism for being able to crack the whip and discipline people, because that is really the only way to get true job satisfaction. I will let everyone know how it is going. In the mean time, all you need to know is I have bought a suit. It has little stripes on it.

This weekend Kyle went gallavanting in London, and I stayed in Scotland. You know the saying ‘If you need something done, give it to someone busy’? Well, that wasn’t me. I think I went out of the house to go to Tescos. Deprived of technology since Kyle took the laptop, I found myself curling up with Pride and Prejudice. Yes, really. And an ’80s marathon on TMF, and my housemate’s chocolate cake. Aaah, bliss. There weren’t too many other decisions to be made, other than is it cheating on Roark from The Fountainhead (my first love) to fancy Mr Darcy? I decided that all was fair in love and war when one person makes buildings that shoot towards the sky, and the other has 10 000 per year. If you have no idea what I am talking about, you should read more.

I am currently working out my final week’s notice at the job that still remains nameless. I will really miss it, because everyone is so nice and nurturing (it is an office of women, with only one guy sys admin), and there is this woman who brings tasty treats at least once a week.

Visitscotland.com has a lot to live up to.

Edit: Kyle managed to fix my avatar for me. He also insists that I use this one even though it makes me look like a bug.
