Snowed Under

Posted at 7:47 PM on 6 February 2009

There's an awful lot of stuff and things that are going on in my life at the moment. And this, whilst sometimes giving me a feeling of overwhelm-ment, is undoubtedly a good thing: it keeps me busy, pushes me hard and keeps me on my toes.

And those toes are going to be a-twitchin' even more than usual come the wee small hours of Tuesday morn.

I generally don't talk about Things Involving Work, but I really am quite excited about what'll be happening then; it's a big deal, and in it's own small (very small) way, it represents the culmination of something I've been working on for almost two and a half years (actually longer, but that's another story). Baby steps, for the most part, but ramping up exponentially these past few months.

We have the technology, and it's the allegorical equivalent of taking the Richter scale all the way to eleven.

Thus it's almost certainly doomed to obscurity and will be completely ignored. Which is fine. Sometimes being proud about something is enough -- even when the rest of the world remains resolutely unlit. Maybe one day I'll be able to talk about it. :-)

Anyway. Yesterday I was actually SNOWED IN, and had to work from home. This has never happened to me before, but rest assured it's a situation I'm in no hurry to repeat. I did manage to get the car to the edge of the village, but given the level of grip (or rather lack thereof) and general sense of impending doom, I elected to turn back. Which turned out to be a rather more edge-of-the-seat manoeuvre than I'd hitherto been accustomed.

Maybe one day I'll be able to talk about it.
