It's been a while (I'm in the habit of saying it now)

Saturdays - the day for stripping coaxial cables, putting sealant around your bath and going to see a mildly depressing play.

Uncle Vanya, or "Uncle Vanya" if translated literally from Russian, is Chekhov's play written at the turn of the century about the ultimate futility of life. Vanya concludes that he has wasted his life in the country whilst his friend the Doctor wants to plant trees to make people happy in the future. The director clearly took the play's ethos to heart by not having an interval, thus giving the audience an extra 15 minutes to waste in our inexorable path to death, although an interval proffers the chance to buy a pint, probably knocking 15 minutes off of your life anyway. So on second thoughts, I don't think he really thought it through.

Cable schmable.

Sealant schmealant.

It's been a while (I said that last time...)

I've got a career.

Well, I've moved into IT at least and am enjoying it immensely. Whether the poor sods I am supporting share my enthusiasm for me is undocumented, but what could be better than being faced with a sarcastic fat bloke who is just there to belittle you with the end result that you can get back on with your work which you hate anyway?

No-one has yet called to say that their machine is working perfectly. I suspect this won't happen.

I don't think I've yet become a geek, though I am typing this underwater using the latest mind-reading software which I wrote yesterday whilst not having a girlfriend. I think that qualifies me. I have started watching the IT Crowd with more interest to see if I recognise any facets. I see myself in Jen, the manager, but that's a different story for perhaps a dinner party where I say, "that IT Crowd bird - phwoooaarr". Guests (as if I invite anyone over) will choke on their cheese and macaroon (not the most successful smoothie ever) and live off my story for years to come.

One IT bonus is that I now have complete control over computers, knowing that one will never again crash on me mid sente
