Aching and lonely. I should write a country song...
Wed 31st Jan '07
Excuse the typos, typing with a swollen hand. I suppose I still have some karate to learn, it seems every time I spar Sensei Nathan, I break something, or at least hurt myself. At least this time it was when he attacked me, not when I attacked him. I hurt my hand blocking one of his kicks, and its sore as hell!
I am trying to decide what to do about my predicament on the self-employment front. It turns out finding work and earning money weren't the big problems. The problem I have now is that working from home, alone, gets lonely! So I am thinking about setting myself up an office somewhere where I can go when I need some healthy interaction. Pete De Bruin has offered me some office space on his premises, which might fit the bill, and I can make myself useful on the shop floor from time to time and talk to some human beings. It's ironic... my operating system is Ubuntu, the catch phrase of which is 'linux for human beings'. And it's piss poor company, frankly. So we will see. I might just have 2 offices soon; My quiet (lonely) retreat here and a middle-of-a-battlefield-somewhere version for when I need thrills.
