Yes, yes, yes. Been awhile I know, what with the new job, and all the TIME it takes up.Sensible Self: TSK. Time management Macy.
And I keep getting asked how the new job is going. And the trouble is...erm...don't want to say this or anything... but the trouble is it's going great. It's fantastic. It's not about fund valuations, or stock classifications and pricing, or discounted interest rates.
Sensible Self . zzzzzz
Exactly.. You can wake up now....No. It's about conferences, and publications, and urgent issue task forces out in China and Romania. It's about the disciplinary board and big legal cases. It's about the NERDS down on the second floor studying arcane stuff.
Sensible self. Steady there Macy.
I know. I'm like Tigger in a sweet shop.
Sensible Self. Not a good image for the financial controller.
There's the library, with acres of books which I can borrow whenevers.
Sensible Self. You generally do that in a library mind.
They run courses, and I can sit in on them and get copies of the coursework.
Sensible self. Good girl. Remember not to ask any of your OBVIOUS questions won't you?
And did I mention the Nerds? The boffins? The experts in extremely arcane stuff? Nothing I like more than a good discussion of the intricacies of ship insurance, coffee bean futures, and Edinburgh's medical museums.
Sensible self. Yes. Many's the time indeed I've worried about my ignorance on coffee bean futures..

Glad everything is going well with the new job. One always needs the company of nerds. Hope Cherub is doing well too.

Sounds like fun. Can we all join in?

Ooh, a job you can talk about, and people who don't annoy you and you can go home at night and smile----
Hmmm----sounds good

Dear Macy,
Can I borrow just a tiny PART of your brain?
Thanks,
VEG X
I'm delighted it's going well though. Well done!

MmE Def - Thanks. All going too well for my wee pessimistic presbyterian brain probably...
Mr Musgrove - The more the merrier! The next conference is in Istanbul. If you can't make it yourself you might send Helminthdale's Bobbing Up and Down Team.
Clyde - It's grand. It nearly beats not working....
Ms Veg - You probably want the part that's unused... the car mending or tap dancing part... :)
