So, I got myself a new job...

After 4 years of being a housewife I am rejoining the workforce. I'm going to be a maintenance engineer on water supplies. And no it's not glamorous, and no it doesn't pay well. But I've been going crazy working from home at a desk job and this is as good a job as I could hope for as it's driving (which I love) and it's in a largely rural area (again, which I love).

I thought I'd share it with you all. Because I'm a man rarely in this good a mood. :-)

aww congrats, and good luck :]

good for you, mate. congrats=)

congrats :). It's great that you're doing something you love.

Congrats.

I broke a customer's supply tap today. And it had to be a PITA customer, didn't it? :-(

If you're going to make a balls up, do it right, mate. hope all is going well.

Yeah, loving it so far. Been working in some rural areas and with autumn finally putting in an appearance the views are breathtaking when the sun puts in a rare appearance. However, the trade-off is doing the same thing in the tenement zone of the city centre. But everything's rough/smooth. Otherwise it'd be boring. :-)

Congrats Ed glad to hear everything is falling into place for you...

Last week I drove up a road that started out clear and within a matter of a minute was thick with the acrid smoke of a plastic factory fire (that's a factory that makes plastic, not a factory made from plastic) that had to be photographed to be believed. And not 5 minutes later I was standing at a traditional dry stone wall under a clear blue winter sky stroking the warm, soft noses of three ponies that had come to investigate me as I flushed the crap from a hydrant. And on Friday I found the food that God eats in a side road in Chesterfield. And I got my own brand new van. :-)
