Out Of Shape

It's been quite hectic at work for the last few weeks. Which is making up for the fact that I had virtually nothing to do for the first six weeks of the contract. In order to help relieve stress, I thought it might be good if I joined a gym.

When I was at Gamespot, there was a gym around the corner that charged by the day. Due to the boxing clubs nearby, it was a real proper He-Man gym. Now, the only gyms near my current contract are "health clubs" which seem to be double the price. Which is a shame, as it's not like the service or equipment is any better. And it didn't really help de-stress either. I just wound up overdoing it and not being able to move my arms for a few days.

An Uncertain Fate

My accountant sent me the rather cryptic message "please call me as soon as you can". But by the time I called, he'd left for the day. Hopefully nothing serious. I'm in uncharted territory now.

The job a Virgin Media is going... interestingly. It's not really very organized, but the people are nice. And that's the main thing, really. That and the money, to be honest.

One Year

It's been one year since I decided to start contracting. So far, so good. Well, we had that horrible job back in February, but at least it paid slightly more than the others.

There's also been a tube strike this week, with another planned for next week. Most inconvenient.
