    Back from my trip oop North..

    I had a great time, thanks to amazing and like minded friends.. We visited lots of places and even managed to capture the Loch Ness monster :D

    Unfortunately, good times don't last :( It was back at work early this morning and it could not have been further apart from the great times over the last few days.. A boss that completely ignores me, colleagues only god knows what they are up to and far too much politics going around..

    I have been busily applying for dozens and dozens of jobs but with no success so far at all, pretty demoralising to be honest..

    And tonight I have probably been spending far too much time "thinking", what if, what would happen, if only..well you see what I mean.. it did not help that my Youtube playlist consisted only of sad songs for some odd reason..

    If you have some spare good luck, please share it with me, Mr T & Mr GreenT..

    Thanks

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
