Threadjacking!

All over, as it happens. Right now I have jobs along the new Luas line, on the South Quays, Lansdowne, Lusk, Enfield, Athy, Lough Derryvarragh and my desk!  What I don't have is sleep, or a decent hourly rate!

It's good to be busy, Prof C. Glad to hear you're still in demand.

It feels a bit surreal TBH, seeing as the closest I was getting to paying work only 18 months ago was doing odd jobs for the in-laws.  Far too much of it is of the '2 hours a week' variety, and more is subcontracting where I'm basically a cheaper alternative to an employee, but for the last 3 or 4 gigs people I've recently done work for have actually approached me, rather than the usual begging and prostrating on my part. One of my jobs from last year is going to be on the telly next week, and the clients put my contact details up on the programme website! So it's all good, as long as I can keep the plates spinning.

If there's anything I can do to help, proof-reading or whatever, just holler. No charge for a fellow Squaxx, obviously.

May have to take you up on that one of these days, Sharky!  Proof-reading is one of the biggest hassles of working in my own - no matter how hard I try, as soon as I hit 'send' there's a clanger staring up at me from the screen.

I'd like to use this thread to express my man-crush on Professor Brian Cox.  As well as being a dishy dreamboat whose full name could be my autobiography (now you know what the 'B' stands for), his podcast makes science interesting and funny, rubbishes pseudo-science and has Alan Moore on it.  Things can only get better - WITH BRIAN IN THE WORLD.

I don't there's a band wide enough for this watch.

My girlfriend threatened to leave me today over my obsession with the Monkees.   I thought she was joking...




...And then I saw her face.
