It’s been a busy wee week for the Bainster. One of the carers I work with has moved on to another job so I’m in the fortunate position of working with full time hours. Don’t really know how long that’ll last and I’ve forgotten how tiring a full-time week can be.

It has been a while (as usual) so I thought the blog required a bit of a update.

In an effort to balance my last doom and gloom post, here’s a list of things I’d like to spend my time on as baby and wife allow.

I’ve just heard back about a job I applied for. It was something that I had wanted to do for a while, I reckoned I had enough relative experience and got through the first round of interviews and had my second yesterday. It seemed to go well, I didn’t stumble or fall at any of the questions asked but just before 6pm this afternoon I got the call that I didn’t get it. Gutted.

So, happy new year!
It’s been a ‘interesting’ year, full of ups and downs.
It started well, with me riding high off the relative success of last year’s NaNoWriMo. It was an important milestone with my writing, the first time I ever got around to actually finishing something in a short time that I even remotely liked. So, that was Planet Of Snakes (a sequel to the unfinished Desert Of Zin) and very happy I was with it too.

According to the info sent out by the Department for Work and Pensions, though the wonderful people in the Job Centre, my local housing authority is the City of Westminster. It’s a bit of a trek from Partick, I know…
Just been on to their Glasgow office, they take a very dim view of the peeps taking the initial telephone claims. seem to think their attention can only be held for a few minutes. And by the state of the customer information they sent out for me to confirm, that guy just might be right…

Wow. It’s been over a month since my last post, and life has been hectic.
Let’s see. What has been going on in the life of Al?

Well, it’s been a busy week with work and home stuff. Loads to do in the office with the audited accounts coming in and at home I’ve been doing more prep for the arrival of baby. All very excited for that.

I’ve been busy a lot recently. Odd day at work interspersed with odd jobs for peeps, website tinkering, a bit of hardware tech and no time for Guild Wars… What, NO Guild Wars? Yep, that’s just how little time I have at the moment.

As I mentioned previously, I no longer do any work with an after-school care. This frees up under half my week. Work-wise, I only have one part time job and that’s the one with the Church. And that’s only 21 hours a week.
Why am I telling you this?

Mixed success.
Just over 13,000 words. A far cry from 50,000 but it was fun trying.

Day seven? Surely not!
It has been a long haul today. With church work, the after-school care and Revolution in the evening, I only got in about 8ish.
It certainly has been a long day. And all the longer with 1667 words waiting to be written.
But despite my lack of enthusiasm for the WriMo today…
1802 words today.
6863 words in total.
