turpsWhat I've been pondering the last day or so
I know which one I want it to be. This gif may give you a clue to what that
After a good start on the unoffical nano I was so wiped last night that I barely got a few hundered words done. But I plan to catch up, plus a story that's been stalled for a long time is now much longer, so win already. Also, status bars are awesome. I've fallen in love with mine, watching the percentage change when you plug in those words makes me happy.
Yesterday I went out shopping with the in-laws. My nephew stuck close the whole time, meaning I spent the time being dragged around by a very energetic 5 year old. After we'd finished that our plan was to go the cinema to see the In-betweeners movie, but when we got there the queue was insane. I know it was orange Wednesday but still, it snaked back on itself at least four times and was heading out of the door when we got there. No way would we have got into the movie we wanted. So we took off and will hopefully see it next week when James is off next.
Talking of James. He's been officially told he's got the home work position. I'm not sure if I actually mentioned this here but he applied to work from home. Initially I was a little dubious because being together 24/7 didn't sound like fun, but what happens is he still does his regular shifts at work, but he's also expected to do a minimum amount of overtime at home every month. They came to check out the spare room and they're going to fit all the gear needed so he can take 999 calls from here. I had no idea people even took 999 calls anywhere but in a call centre but apparently it's so if there's an unexpected busy time or bad weather James will just log in from here and help with the backlog.
