Male explorer...

It's been a long while since I've done a post, have started a few but then didn't really get into them... so tonight there's a bit of a story to tell.

My Y-chromosome acted up today, yip.. I went all guy like and went walking around, after work.
Here's the story. Grieks has been craving KFC for weeks now, and last night I got the idea to take her out for dinner pending the clearing of my 1st pay into my account, only one problem in that though. I discussed the details of my bank account with the company that manages the limited company (supposedly my limited company.. it's long an complicated, think I've explained it before, not gonna again). The long and short of it comes out that I didn't put in my bank details when I registered for the limited company.. why ? Because I only got my bank account details the day afterwards.. and had thought that the consulting firm that I also work though would have done that on my behalf.. lesson number one, never trust anyone else to do something for you, even if you think it should be their job.

The long and the short. I received my pay in the post today, in cheque format, which will be deposited tomorrow during lunch (perhaps earlier) at the HSBC very close to work(just a block away from the pub as well :). Which will hopefully clear before the end of the week, however I doubt that very much and being that Monday is a bank holiday ( I suspect world over, Worker's day).

So, having taken that into consideration I went to aforementioned [t] HSBC and pulled some money. I had looked up KFC on google earth (through the google maps website basically), and knew about the one in Victoria station ( which is only two stations away from Waterloo.. ).

So I walked down to Southwark station, (as per usual), and then thought.. wait.. there has to be a KFC close.. alas, to make the whole thing short.. 2 hours after leaving work for the 30 minute travel to home, I finally got home with a 10 piece KFC bargain bucket (Micon and Octavo I suspect will know what I'm talking about ) and had a Grieks with a big smile on her face :), the walk/effort well worth it.

Work : It's actually been very kewl, I've been able to turn around on the little projects that I've been handed to do while we wait for the big project to fall that the company upsized in [man]-coding power to do and has been slipping. I still have another month and week on contract left and hopefully making enough of an impression that they'll like me to stay, but I'm not betting on it. Have put down on the budget that I'll be without work for the further 3 week of June, if they extend my contract it'll be a great bonus, if they don't.. well, such is life. Have had a few regular calls from agents while I haven't been putting my cv out there, think I submitted to a fair amount of shared databases, but we'll see how things go closer to the time though.

In other general news : We're looking at moving, having been here for 3 months has been nice, and we're enjoying the nice and quiet that the house now has because we're alone here, but in 3 weeks time that's about to change, and so we've been looking around. Found a family in, wait for it.. London has an area called Plumstead :) We'll be moving in around the 20th. Still need to email my cousin that we're giving notice.

Anyways.. I've got to hit the hay, want to get some sleep in for a while... :)

Greets to all
