Have a bit of Hal Jordan streaking going on to contrast the ginger.

Quite happy with it, and not vain enough to get it covered up.

I can tell you're a DC man rather than Marvel - I would've called it a Reed Richards streak!

Ha!

Rather bizarrely, as I was typing it out, the image I had of Hal was the cheeky scene from an issue of late nineties Hulk where Peter David and Liam Sharp snuck Hal back into comics! Albeit at a rival publisher. I'm sure DC were delighted with it.

I've had an interview today (though no idea how it went yet), another next week, met another company who invited me to a social to meet e last weekend and my former company are interested in me coming back (though it may be a couple of months).  So it might take a while but things are looking up hopefully.

Good luck! Hope things work out for you.

Thank you  :)

It'll be good to get back to work if I can.

That's wonderful Fishy! Glad to hear it's going to work out for you. :)

cool, sounds like you're being actively headhunted - I've never had a potential employer invite me to a social!


Life is sort of okay when things that you expect to be frustrating actually work out - I had two live webchats yesterday to  a couple of lovely tech-support people presumably in India (although there's no reason they couldn't have been UK workers with Indian names), one to TalkTalk to try and get a more up-to-date wi-fi router off them without having to pay; and one to 02 as I lost my phone service.

Both were handled quickly and efficiently and the problems  sorted in minutes - shouldn't be unusual but you hear so many customer service nightmares with ISPs and phone companies that I was pleasantly surprised!

Good man, fishy, keep up the good work.

Me, I went back to martial arts last night after a year of absence. I feel like my ribcage has been pounded with a jackhammer. I think that's a good thing, but I'm not sure.

...Nope, I tell a lie, it's not a good thing; it's still sore and I think I've cracked a rib.  A giant Frenchman drove his knuckle into it, knocking me to the floor - I didn't feel it at the time but by Christ I do now.  Still, though; I've fractured a rib before - feck all you can do about it but wait till it fixes itself.
