A few weeks ago someone pointed me in the direction of a fairly new website called JobFact. The premise is quite straightforward, you register and enter details of your salary and benefits and your job, company etc and then you can compare what you are getting with what others doing similar jobs are getting.  Of course there are the usual add-ons, you can upload your anonymous CV and with luck an employer will come along and offer you a new position complete with one of those higher salary packages you’ve been drooling over.

So, it’s been too long between entries.  I say that with no hint of sarcasm.  Those of you who are regular readers will know that I often complain (half-heartedly) that I feel pressured into writing here when I really have nothing to say.  The past few weeks however have been the opposite, I have had plenty to write about but I seem to find myself without the time to actually sit down and write a few words.

In some ways I wonder if Twitter is to blame as I find myself writing snippets there rather than here.  I’m not sure that the content is being released onto Twitter but more that because I spend time writing there, I’m less enthused to be writing here.  Actually, that sounds as if I can’t be bothered writing here, which is not the case, simply that I am feeling pretty lethargic, I blame the rapidly darkening nights. ENOUGH! Let’s get on with an update.

Needless to say most of what’s happened has been promptly forgotten so you’ll have to make do with what you get and be thankful!  Tuesday saw me ice skating for the first time in my life (and I didn’t fall once!)  Those generous people over at The Independent saw fit to give me 4 tickets for an hours ice skating at The National History Museum and so I arranged to go with a couple of colleagues and McPot.  On the day first one and then the other colleague bailed so the four became two and I was half expecting McPot to drop out too but I wasn’t going to be deterred and headed along after telephoning him to check he was still coming.

It has to be said, I sometimes feel sad knowing that whilst The Mentalists! still exist as a band, they do so without Kim.
