Ohh what a lucky duck, I am currently 50% of the way through a free holiday in Madrid!
At least that is how Mr Midnite and my friends who don't work travel see it. Travelling for work isn't as much fun as people seem to think. I have been sent to Madrid for 2 weeks to do some pretty boring, fairly admin stuff that really a local temp could have done but it's really Mrs Midnitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10188223440558854192noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222516088603909580.post-49920118493051334672012-11-03T17:21:00.000+00:002012-11-03T17:21:13.204+00:00MousetrapTonight I am going to see Agatha Christie's Mousetrap. I'm most excited.
See I must confess I'm a (not so) closet Christie fan. I love Mrs Marple, Hercule, Harlequin and even Tommy and Tupence. I am really looking forward to watcvhing the play. Also I have no idea what it's about or who did it.

I'm watching a show called My Tattoo addiction which reminded me of a previous post.

For anyone wondering I still don't have a tattoo. I have an idea of what I would get but still not sure where I'd get it. Possibly foot, possibly!
For a long time I have seen evidence of tattoo addiction.

But tonight I'm bored. I normally have plenty to do and if I don't then doing nothing is nice.
The furry terrors are snoozing on the sofa, settled for the night after a riotous afternoon with children. They were playing on some sort of game station thingy, like the Wii but not the Wii.

It is a little Hyundai i10 city car and is very sweet.
My dad has pointed out on a number of occasions that I am now the only person in the family ever to have owned a brand new car. To try to put an end to this I have pointed out that the decision to buy a basic model city car means that the car is pretty cheap and in fact he could buy 3 ofMrs Midnitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10188223440558854192noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222516088603909580.post-10646114106136703752012-10-06T09:56:00.001+01:002012-10-06T09:56:37.096+01:00Crunch - crashIt's a lovely sunny Saturday morning here in Scotch-Land.

The last year has flown by, I have a new job. Well not that new I've now been there 12 months. It's exciting learning new things although it isn't going as fast as I would like. Apparently I am ambitious, this isn't a word I would use but it seems to be a common description of me.

The problem .... my brother used to fit floors so I'm not prepared to pay a stranger to fit it, I decided to wait until my brother could fit it. Years after year I waited but as family I was always bottom of the list.

I remember the first plane crashing and thinking it was a terrible accident, then the second, then the people jumping from the windows and the towers collapsing. They are images that will never leave me much as I would like them to.
10 years later I still can't think about it, the horror for all those people.

OK this isn't a bad purchase on a scale of impulse buys. I've wanted this for a long, long time.
When I first got my own flat I thought about buying a fish tank but it's a small flat and I've never really finished getting it decorated how I want it so I've never worked out where a large fish tank would go.

You know at work (or in school) you get groups of people. You get the popular group, the swotty group, the nerd group, the always out group etc etc.
See how it sounds like school but it still happens when you are the far side of mid 30s and supposedly professional.
Well tonight is a leaving do for one of the popular kids. I'm not one of them.

Could it be something dental? Cavity prevention?
Or may it is a member of a group of giant robots, the leader or the cavachons?
No, neither of these things, its a type of dog. A first generation cross between this:

Called the company back that I had interviews with last week to get an update and they offered me two jobs.
2 jobs!
The first I'd applied for and had two interviews for turned out to be the lower paid. There was lots about that job that I could get excited about with new things to learn, a team on site and knowing a few people already there.

Work is just problem after problem all rushing at me at once, don't want to be here. I'm still wanting to help my clients but the company are just expecting too much. I'm not doing a good job, I'm missing things and they then come back to bite. Just really don't want to have anything more to do with this place.

Horrific pictures on TV, I'm shocked and stunned by what's happening. So here are Mrs Midnite's thoughts on the events of this week.
A young black (or possibly mixed race by the look of some pics) man who was probably a criminal was killed by the police. Seems he didn't fire a gun but did have an illegal fire arm.

Sasha's agility club were doing a demonstration and one of the lovely ladies had a great camera to capture the action.
Enjoy :0)
Star had a try at the "have a go agility" and was, well a star! Negotiated a way to take both to classes so she can do the training. Next time hopefully will have pics of both pups.

It was a Project Manager job for a new company with a new product. Very interesting idea and will probably work out if they market it well.
Discussed the job and it would be a good job, interesting to be involved from the start and a small company so probably I'd get lots of new experience.
