Put Out

Looks like I've put my back out quite badly. It was OK last night after recovering from an injury sustained erecting an ariel for a friend. I visited my local last night and played a few rounds of pool. I woke up this morning in agony!

This didn't stop me going to Living Reef Aquatics in Dartford to pick up some crickets for my Praying Mantises. John, the owner, has got an Egyptian mantis for sale which I have to say I was tempted with. He is going to get some other mantises and assorted insects on Tuesday. I'm going to attempt a visit straight after work to see. I'm going to try and not be tempted :D While John kindly showed me some Tarantula's and Scorpions he has for sale, I almost passed out. Sadly I had to cut my visit short and get home. I'm hoping I'm a bit more spritely tomorrow since my friend Andy is taking me to a remote control race track for some photography.

Back at DTC Again

I'm Back :-)

I got a phone call at work today... Apparently, the lads there were swamped with calls so the management picked me to go over and lend a hand, much to my delight. It was so cool to be back with all the people I knew. I did mention how pleased I was to the manager, along with the fact they could leave me there permanently. He said it wouldn't happen, but I thought I'd try. It really does suit me so well. I like the fact there seems always something to do and I also like the comradeship between the IT team and also the teams working in DTC themselves. This doesn't seem to be prevalent in SC, or if it is, it isn't apparent.

Initially I was asked to help out today only but it looks like I'm there for the rest of the week :-)
