I always seem to start with 'it's been a while' well it has so there.
Since last I was on here the weather hasn't been able to make up it's mind. One day spring next darkest winter. We even had our summer a couple of days ago and it lasted nearly the entire day, which was really strange as it normally only lasts about an hour or so in August. Today though it's cold damp, nay wet, and overcast it's like the darkest days of January all over again, very depressing.
I finished Rileys bed and he chose the colours which his mum applied, he is now sleeping in it nightly and he says he loves it, picture below.
That's Korey, Riley is behind the light, rubbish photographer hehehe.
That's the wee man himself. I have increased the height of the safety rail where he is sitting as much for peace of mind as for making sure he can't fall out over night, better safe than sorry.
I have completed Koreys bed which his mum is painting in Spiderman colours Blue with red trim.
This should hopefully be installed over the weekend.
This type of bed really does almost double the amount of useable space in a bedroom.
Other news is that after 16 months of being retired I'm getting bored with it and have started to apply for part time work we'll see what that brings. I've had a couple of interviews and am astounded by the change of interview practices.I passed one interview at which they phoned to congratulate me on passing the interview and said that my name now went on file and they would call when a position opened up, that by the way was over a year ago, what kind of way is that to run things. I've only ever had about 4 job interviews in my life and these were were you turned up in a suit looking your best and sat down opposite the manager who was going to be your boss and you talked about the job and your experience and knowledge of the post. If he thought that he could work with you and you could do the job you got started, and if you proved you weren't as good as you said you were you were soon found out and were fired.
Now you have group interviews where individuals don't actually make the decisions, you perform in front of HR and they tick boxes to show that you are a 'team player', outgoing, fun loving and many other psychobabble criteria and in some cases nothing about the position you've applied for. I wonder if turn over in these companies is higher or lower than it was under the old system, I suspect it will be higher.
I have been thinking of making Tongue drums and selling them to keep active and maybe supplement my small pension. If you don't know what a tongue drum is go on YouTube and have a look and listen they have a nice mellow sound not harsh at all.
Good gracious I wrote that last paragraph almost as if I thought that someone other than myself actually read these ramblings, wow how strange would that be?
One last pic for today this is the view I was looking at a wee while ago when the sun came out briefly
Anywho ramblings of this old man are over for another wee while.
