The Importance of Being Idle

Terror Level Green

Y'know I'd just written a big long post detailing how everything is all wonderful and great, and then the "new, improved" blogger decided to eat it for no apparent reason. At least with the old one you had a chance at recovering your posts when it decided to play silly buggers.
To recap:
Work is going fine. I was very worried about going back because I remembered so very little; not just of my training but of the building or even the people that I'd met. Happily after a short period of disorientation it's all coming flooding back to me, and that is extremely gratifying. I'm in training for a while longer yet, and although I've moved to a different part of the service line (I'll be on specialist info rather than claims) so far we're still doing stuff that I've already been taught, in fact I remember stuff that we don't need to know for my current role! Maybe I'll be multi-skilling pretty soon eh?
Valentine's Day was excellent! I woke up to find a HUGE wooden box on the bed, and it was stuffed full of Maltesers and toy soldiers, along with a six pack of Coke in glass bottles (I always have to have it in a glass bottle if I can, I'm sure it tastes better that way!)! So that was a totally happy making present, and then in the evening we had a yummy three course, candle lit dinner (with help from Archie who thought he should get muddy foot prints on the table cloth at every available opportunity!).
Today has been another happy day; I made Barclays refund some bank charges they'd imposed on me, and I didn't ask nicely or be pathetic, I told them out-right that I know that they're legally not allowed to use punitive charges and they just backed off immediately, which was very pleasing. On top of that Ronnie got offered the loan she needs to start the secret thing I still don't know if I can talk about!
So there we are. Overall things have been very good since I went back to work. And it's only been three days!
Let's hope blogger let's me publish this time; I'm gonna hit the button, wish me luck!
