I am actually quite happy at the moment even though I have loads of pressure at work with being the only IT person. When I'm driving about the 2 counties listening to good music I can forget about the amount of work I have to do. My viewpoint is I can only do so much, I try to do the urgent stuff but I'm only 1 person and everything else will just have to wait.
I was supposed to be getting a temp while I'm on my own but over half of that is already over, there is no way they are going to sort anyone out in the next 2 weeks. Exactly as I predicted, HR are absolutely fucking shite. I get on well with a couple of the people who work in HR but its not with them where the problems lie.
I think one of the reasons I am happy is because of all the planning and looking forward to walking in the lakes. I intend to go away from the 6th April as long as all my essential gear turns up by then. I am thinking about walking from Ennerdale , a variation on this route. I may decide a lot of where I go as I'm on the fells but somewhere similar to that looks good. I wanted to walk the Langdales, and Scafell area but it will be Easter weekend so it will be very busy in that area. It will probably be busy around here too but hopefully not quite so bad.
I am going to have to do some more match betting to help pay for all the equipment I've bought over the last week (£1000 worth :-O)
I'm off on Friday afternoon because I am going to watch Nigel box again, he's fighting in the contender series. Each fight which all take place on the Friday will be broadcast over several weeks on TV. I am going out from 1:30 though in Crook, before getting the bus to Newcastle at 5, then the fights start at 7. I can't drink too much because I am running on Saturday!

Contender ? UK version ? Nigel who ? how did he do ?
Contender was a boxing tv show which was hosted by Sylvester Stallone in the US. On Friday there is a US vs UK where some of the people from the US Contender are fighting some of Frank Warrens boxers. Nigel is Nigel Wright who I went to school with up until I was about 8.
I have been going to watch him fight for the last 2 years. His record is 19 fights, 17 wins (8 KO's), 2 defeats. One of the defeats was debatable and he later knocked the other lad out in about 20 seconds of the 1st round in the re-match.
