Those days are almost gone

Its not long now (January the 26th) until im released from purgatory , well my current job at least.

Its been 6 and a half years of highs and lows, with the last 2 spent in a Sisyphean challenge in the implementation of a new system which thankfully ate my job.

"As a punishment from the gods for his trickery, Sisyphus was compelled to roll a huge rock up a steep hill, but before he reached the top of the hill, the rock always escaped him and he had to begin again" (Odyssey, xi. 593).

My friends from there I shall keep for life, although im happy to cast off that heavy burdon of boredom and neglect.

So, time for a new start, it's been a long time comming, but i reckon I deserve it. My old role as web developer has become a chrysalis from which i shall hopefully emerge a Plumber.

My training will commence shortly at the BTSC (Builder Trade Skills Centre) where i shall be undertaking the first stage of the City and Guilds Technical Certificate to gain the skills required to become a Bathroom Fitter and then hopefully continue to eventual Corgi Registration.

This is where the story starts ...
