A strange thing happened to me on the way into the office this morning….
Almost sounds like the start of a cheesy joke.
But. Seriously. Driving into work this morning I got into a game of chicken with a Magpie, and almost lost. (It ended in a draw)
Driving along the welsh countryside, slowly making my way to the office, and I came across some birds in the middle of the road. Now the site of a car zooming along towards them, did what it always does and the birds scattered. Apart from ONE! this one just turned to face the car, and stared at me…
So as the distance got shorter and shorter I kept expecting the bird to flee. but it just stood staring at me. Then Woosh, The car went over the bird, And I looked in the rear view mirror to see if it escaped, and there it was, standing in the same place, it shook the exhaust fumes off its body as it turned to keep staring at me.
Was very strange.

I not posted for a while, so Figure I’ll post some kind of update while waiting for a phone call/email/contact of some form….
So weekend just gone : –
The Good
Well went out sat night, had a nice meal in a place where the staff were dressed up as pirates, so got to eat good food, talk random shite with friends, while enjoying the view of some of the waitresses in sexy pirate outfits…
The Bad
Alas I was injured during saturday mornings training session, (The annoying thing was I almost did not go, due to having to take my car for service, and a feeling of cant be arsedness). Anyway, we were doing some ground work, and in a kind of freespar session at the end my neck got bent forward past its point of normal movement and there was a cracking kinda noise.. And now I have a bad case of whiplash going on. :0(
The Ugly
After hearing a crack in my neck (Not a noise you want to hear) I took a few seconds before moving to check I had feeling in my extremities, and could move everything, Then moved off the mat to double check I was fine, before getting back into the ring as it were. Then at the end the Instructor gave a huge rant, bollocking about people stopping mid spar, and how its crap, and must not be done, you should keep fighting.. and so on.. Personally I believe if you receive an injury that could be serious, the sensible thing to do is check yourself out before continuing to fight and make it worse..
Well back to work for a bit…

Damn! I hate decisions, Never been any good at them… Making them goes against my belief that thinking ages you!..
Planetpete is leaving the company where we both work, So it Should mean a promotion for me, and a decent pay rise, especially with a company reshuffle.
But.
The Head of development for Wrexhams NHS trust as just emailed me a job offer as a IT Development Specialist. Which will be less travel, and more money. But a lot more stressful and hard working, not to mention the red tape.
So decision time. Do i go for the job with more money where I will have to work hard, fast, lots in stressful environment. Or see what I’m offered where I am and have less money, but not do much work.
May be time for deep contemplation over several vodka’s… Then toss a coin :0)
