Wow, lots of stuff going on since I was last in here. Congrats/commiserations to everyone. Fantastic news SJN! Brought a little tear to my eye, that did. A very manly one, of course...
My year has been a bit up and down - great trip to Ecuador in March, wife breaks her ankle in April, three months of nightmarish rehab, and in August we end up getting divorced. Shortly after that, one of our cats gets ripped limb from limb by three escaped pit bulls. And now I'm living in a little rental house with just a 13 stone dog for company. So, looking back, actually more down than up... :icon_sad:
But... the opportunity of a lifetime (for me - some of you would think it was stupid) has suddenly arisen at pretty much the perfect moment, and, if all goes well, I might be ending the year on an incredible high with a potentially life changing new house, town and career. Can't say any more about it, but if it does come off, have no doubt that I'll be keeping you all fully updated! :icon_cool :icon_roll
On the other hand, I'm now so excited about it that if I don't get the gig, it will be the final sting in the tail of what has been a pretty shitty year for me.
Either way, at least it's not dull, and I could be living the dream (or swinging from a bridge*) by the end of the month... so keep your fingers crossed for me... :icon_bigg
* not really, of course.
