There are a nice variety of birds in the smoking bit of our library gardens*

I have the thick pigeon who assumes I have food and pecks at the fagash, the magpie couple and the crows that raid the rubbish bin. I had the amusing experience of one trying to get into a closed salad box with some meat in, it kept jumping back like it was electrified every time it pecked the plastic. I stayed for about 5 mins mentally cheering it on, and it eventually got in.
To be honest, that was better than actually going into the library.



*what am I saying, the whole library garden IS the smoking bit

You know the rhyme associated with magpies?
Well I saw 12 of the mini-flying-penguins in a field the other day.

What do you think about that eh? The rhyme never went that far.

It's been lovely and productive, with the added reward of diet results (sorry)
You had a good'un?

What time are you back in tomorrow?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 0:40, Reply)

The usual
9-9:30 or thereabouts.

Hows the job search going, any news?
(berk, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 0:43, Reply)

Lots of conversations, and a few things in the pipeline that might be interesting.
But the duration of the contracts are too short at the moment, I want something with at least 6 months on it.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 0:51, Reply)

Are you likely to find something
if there aren't any being offered? Perhaps businesses don't necessarily have six months worth of guaranteed money for an analyst?
(berk, Mon 24 Jan 2011, 0:59, Reply)

I'll consider a perm role if I can't find what I want on a contract.
But the money isn't anywhere near as good.

There are a number of perm roles out there, but I quite like the 'living life on the edge' contracting thing.
