So yeah....
I kinda gave up on this thing coz I was pretty hectic wi everything. An I'll probably forget 2 update again for ages after this... but I thought I'd post an update coz I never had a chance 2 properly say goodbye 2 everyone in edinburgh. That and Bebo don't work at work, damn filter.
So on the 2nd of December I moved up to Inverness. I moved in wi my gf Lynn and we're in a gorgeous wee flat that never cools down, we seem to steal everyone elses heat (insert evil laugh here).
As you can probably guess I ain't a student anymore. My time at HW was becoming more comedic than academic. Would I change my time there if I had the chance? Maybe, but I always say no regrets.... Even if I am a dropout.. lol.
I'm currently working as an IT worker and getting paid less than I did in ASDA (what's up with that!?) but this is only temporary as I have my starting date for my new job on the 21st Jan. I'm going to be a support worker for Sense Scotland. It's a care organisation that was set up by parents of people that needed care, which I love because instead of feeding them, scrubbing them and putting them to bed like a life size doll, I acutally talk to them, help them out with benefit forms, have a laugh with them, the real kind of care (as well as the other stuff). I will be working with people with sensory, learning and physical disabilities and I'm scared shitless because I've never done anything like this before, but I'd rather be doing something I'd enjoy thats hard than something boring that I can do with my eyes closed.
Just if anyone is interested the website for SS is
http://www.sensescotland.org.uk/I'll be doing some fundraising in the future so expect getting tapped for money sometimes....
I miss Edinburgh sometimes. Well, no actually, I don't. I miss the people in Edinburgh and it's hard to keep touch with no internet at home. But with my new job, that will be remedied.
I love Inverness, its gorgeous and sunnier and warmer than Edinburgh (believe it or not). Its the perfect mix of city and country. It's my perfect place.
Things are going really well with Lynn an me. My mum came up the other day an met her parents, it went really well and my mum gets on wi Lynn more than she gets on wi me!!
I think thats everything. For all that are in Edinburgh, when I get a chance I will be coming down to have a nite out and all will be invited.
I guess there's nothing left to do but wish everyone a merry christmas and may 2008 be full of good things for you.
See you in the funny pages..
All the best,
Ash
