New Job

Last week was a good one. Most of the week was spent working in the bike shop building bikes for Christmas, which makes the day go by quickly.

On wednesday evening I had a lovely dinner courtesy of Gaz, and then went to the Crags with some of the Vets. I found a 14inch kids bike beside the bins on the way there, so rode that there and back, slightly more wobbly on the way back!

On thursday I was out with the cycling club for our Christmas dinner. After a lovely meal at The Buffalo Grill we headed round to our usual pub, where drinking games ensued and the banter was great. Photos can be found on my Flickr including Iain in his stunning beater and tie combo.

On friday I went round to my aunts and had yet another lovely dinner, and a good long chat about family, computers and moving houses.

In between all this going out at the end of the week I bagged myself a job with FutureCorp, a web application consultancy firm. I’ve been enjoying my first few days getting to know things and am sure there are more exciting things to come. I’d better tidy my room now, seeing as I’m working from home!

Minfigs Ahoy!

I was a little bored this evening, so I had a rake around in my box of Lego. I was primarily trying to see how many Lego people I had in the flat, but with help from some instructions I ended up building a tipper I got about 16 years ago. There is a headlight missing but I’m sure I’ll find that at some point.

In other news:

  • The Edinburgh Uni Sports Union have started an XXX club, all present at the pub on thursday were clamoring to join.
  • Sandy was knocked off his bike by a blind council worker.
  • Tim left his singlespeed locked in his stairwell, and surpise, surprise; it got nicked.
  • It is rumored that I may have looked at proper jobs. This is a lie. Honest.
