Hey All,
What can I say I really need to start doing this on a regular basis.
What's happened since June 2019:
1. Work Stuffs! I worked at Funko, it was glorious, but alas, short lived.... In their wisdom they decided to move their distribution operation to Coventry, which would separate me and my kids, so I had to wish them well. (In fairness the site at Maldon was a terrible fir for that many) I went to work for a rubbish insurance company in Ipswich. Not a good experience. Their hardware was like their attitude to IT (VERY badly out of date and they practically bullied the hardware too), I had to go to eBay to buy parts for some of the servers they were THAT old. I left there happy to start a new job in a well known publishing house characterised by a flightless bird. That was a nightmare of epic proportions. I am still suffering from that over a year later. I went to work for an actually decent MSP at a great place called Ransomes Jacobsen and was treated like a valued member of the team, but the price of Diesel soared in the UK so I had to look closer to home for work, when a dream job vacancy appeared - The University of Essex. Not far up the road, great money, nice team, nice location, short commute. I'm in month 3, so far so very good!
2. Personal Stuffs! I got married. After a couple of years alone, I met someone quite special. So much so I put a ring on it. We had a beautiful ceremony in the Norman castle in Colchester, there was a large sword and a tiny cake. Also some mild fisticuffs, but hey. My wife is an AFAB (Assigned female at birth - Born with girly parts) but is pangender and pansexual, this means we can both oggle nice looking ladies. They use they/them pronouns, but is proud to be referred to as my wife. We welcomed our first child, Lena, into the world September 2021. She is a small but feisty creature, 2nd percentile for height, but very dextrous and very capable. She is likely to be our only child, as although the birth was practically painless and very easy, Rose and I just plain doesn't want to go through it all again and we can focus on Lena's childhood. She is utterly adored by her older siblings who do a cracking job helping out when they're over.
3. Gaming - Fallout 4 is en vogue yet again. I need to get back to Elite Dangerous, but that requires getting my HOTAS/cockpit rig back up and running. Round Towits are always in such short supply.
