The end.....

This blog is now defunct, for I am no longer a contractor.

I started this as something to do in the long boring evenings in some godforsaken part of England while stuck on a contract. In my many, many nights spent in a B&B room (or a short-term lease on a flat that was too short to get cable or internet connected) this was something to write on my laptop to upload the next day at work. It was something to limit my drinking, because nothing drives you to open that second six-pack like only having a choice of 4 terrestrials channels and a hint of fuzz that might be channel five.

Only now I don't drink, now I live at home every day of the week instead of just two, and tomorrow I start as a permanent member of staff with a fuck-off pension and a chance to watch people I don't know very well make an utter arse of themselves at the christmas party.

I think I shall take a very small blog hiatus while I decide what to do next.

It's been emotional.

So your journey has ended then? Like when Kwai Chang Caine finally met his half-brother. Changing the name of the blog would be another option.

YOU ARE A BAD BAD BAD BOYFRIEND! ANY OTHER BOYFRIEND WOULD LISTEN TO HIS GIRLFRIEND. BAD BAD BAD! Now everyone that reads this blog knows that I'm your girlfriend, and I'm pissed off at you for not listening. I told him he's not allowed to stop blogging and he didn't listen. Got that everyone?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
It's the only website in England worth checking out.
I guess the BBC is ok too.

This on top of not visiting next year aswell. BOO HISS.
Hey, girlfriend lady, tell him he has to visit the hobbit and the tractor boy. He should bring you too, seeing as he used you as an excuse when he said he wasn't coming >:)
Bad Boy!!!

Hobbit,what do you mean "he used you as an excuse when he said he wasn't coming"? Those be words that could force a man to drink... and a woman to murder!

Now what am I supposed to read between Test matches?

Selfish Paternally-challenged Squirrel, or is that Reluctant Wage Slave, it's been very.

gb - my journey hasn't ended, I'm more in the layby of indecision on the A-road of life. Changing the name is one option I'm considering.

scg - yes dear *rolls eyes*

ozhob - it's not a permanent vacation. I'm just taking a break until I decide to start a new one, change the name or carry on with this one.

korma - I'll be back. It just feels a bit like the end of an era so I'm going to recharge my batteries....

I recommend bio-fuel.

Does this mean we're going to have to resort to talking again like normal folk?

korma - I'm surprised you're not recommending ethanol ;-)

Was going to call you tonight anyway, so yes!

Well, if it's not serving you, then stop. But it would be a shame.

Oh nooooooo! :(

That's all.

paula - is that a 'nooooooooo' to the fact that I'm coming back at some point? :(

Hi, just catching up here. Does that mean I can park my car anyway I like without public ridicule?
Thats a plus.

The minus is I'll have to do some real work rather than reading this and assuming that it counts as hours spent constructively.

And just like all good novels, the full plot seems to be unveiling in this final post...

Will be a shame to lose you, hope you change your mind and consider changing the name of your blog - Reluctant Permie? Join the rest of us permies who'd much rather be doing something else!

Mmm interesting point Weenie. If we are renaming I'd think about that reluctant word myself.

Hmm, seems Red Squirrel really has stopped. Shame. Good while it lasted though, so thanks for all the stories.
