Well I'm all moved in and settled and life's pottering along nicely.
Was a bit concerned that living with a girl again after a break of about three years would be a tad awkward, but we're having funplus I always get to jump ship to Sweden whenever I get claustrophobic! (Joke!)

Ho hum, just keep on smiling, ignore all the bitchiness and remember that just...

Maybe I should don a fake beard for a year or so and then listen to the flood of compliments come in about how much younger and effeminite I look then. tongue

Office politics are so petty and laughable. People who take part of them need to give up their job for the bit and just go experience the world for a while so they get some goddamn perspective.
