Sorry about the gap between postings - the main reason is that I somehow managed to delete my cookie (as it were) and had no idea what my username/pasword combination was. Hurrah for belated trial and error!

I also wrote the following little piece to explain where I've been. Have a read.

In case you're wondering why I've gone quiet, it's
because I'm working again - two weeks holiday cover as
an assistant/receptionist. It's just like old days!
Actually, it's pretty much the good things about old
days, as my administrative skills (which aren't the
strongest) are much less important than my people
skills. I'm a people person!

It's a wee bit galling, mind. I like the office, the
people, and the job's not at all bad. But, you know,
I've been fearing having to take a step (or two, or
three) down the career ladder to find a job I'd really
like, and this isn't making me feel any surer that
great things are imminent. But it's ca$h, it keeps me
off the streets, and at the moment pragmatism and
diligence rule over daydreaming and pies in the sky.
