It's been a while and a lot has happened in the real world.
New job, credit crunch, new year, new dog, new US President, light snow causing havoc - it's doesn't get much more exciting than this. Something to do with that old curse...
And one of the major happenings is the credit crunch. Talk about financial uncertainty, the oil price went under $50/barrel recently - just a third of it's all time high last year. Dollar to pound rate from over $2 to the pound, to $1.4-something in about a year as well.
And bold as brass, the country gets nationalised to boot. Free enterprise didn't seem to be working - not for the rest of us anyway, only the drivers of the gravy train.
Speaking of which, my train ticket went up - service levels didn't of course.
Being in IT, these things didn't really bother me too much over the years. Job satisfaction & security being fairly satisfied, one can become somewhat insular.
But with time and age, I guess we pick up perspective, and of course caution - something we shouldn't exercise too much of, otherise inertia kicks in.
Nuff yacking, drink up the beer and get back to something more technical!
