Well it's been a couple of months since my last blog post, not that I'm sure if anybody reads this but it provides me with some snapshots of my own progress if nothing else.
When I last updated, on November 27th, I was in quite a good mood. I'd just received a distinction in T211 and felt pretty good about things. That didn't last unfortunately. Shortly after writing that post I left for work. I got 50 yards from my front door when some moron in a delivery van ran me off the road. £400 worth of damage to the suspension of my car and the arsehole didn't even stop!
I got to work late, on my motorbike which, because the roads were filthy, got covered in crud. If things weren't going badly enough at this stage I capped it all off by having an accident in work right at the end of my shift. A faulty piece of access equipment slipped and dropped me from an aircraft engine. I was left dangling and damaged the rotator cuff in my left shoulder as well as minor injuries to my hip and head (caused by the "safety" glasses I was wearing. As a consequence I haven't worked since, although I'm on full pay, and will only be able to return on limited duties in another couple of weeks.
Next time things are going well I think I'll keep my mouth shut.
