To allay some fears

Opera Community, Ireland, life, work, friends

I'd better post something.

I've gotten a couple of comments and PMs from folks wondering how I am and what I'm doing. In two words - "busy" and "working"

Seems like we only just got back from Christmas and already we were doing our final exams. This year of college absolutely flew by. And after finishing my exams on the friday I went straight into my work placement on the monday.

I've six months with the IT department of a pharmaceutical company. So far everything is grand. It's a nice environment, everyone is really friendly, my duties are interesting. My only complaint is that I'm not actually doing any software development work. But, considering the economic climate I was lucky to get a placement at all.

So now I finally have a bit of time. I'm taking Monday off and with Paddy's day I get four day weekend

You can expect a post for that, of course. And hopefully things will calm down and I'll have a bit more time for my blog.

In the meantime I have quite the watch list to get through.

Party like it's 1234567889St Patrick's Day at the Seaside

Congrats on your placement. St. Paddy's has started already here, big parade this afternoon, too bad I had to work. I'll go and have a pint later with two friends , both of who are named Moira!

Thanks everyone, nice to see all of you here.

I certainly didn't mean to scare anyone. And I honestly never thought about how recent events in the North might cause people concern.

It's hard to explain how it's perceived here. In a way it seems like it happened in another country. And I think the general feeling was that attacks like this were a thing of the past. I do know that that politicians from both sides have united in their condemnation, and I believe that is the popular opinion. Hopefully those responsible will get the message.

I wasn't skeered at all

but then again, I had some inside information...kind of.

enjoy St. Paddy's Day. Cast some snakes out. Actually, you can come do that in Vancouver too - can't he Sanny?
