Isn't it ironic - Fuck OFF Alanis!

Another few light years have passed between my last post and this: its the last few weeks of wifeys teaching degree and so every kind of stress has descended on our house, and infinite shades of shit are hitting fans and AirCon units all over the gaff.

The ironic part, and this part is funny really, is that next week is her busiest and most important of them all. Lots of files to be reviewed and given in , lots of observations and monitoring, you get the idea. Earlier this year I changed my role within my company so that I could be home more for this important year, and then for the subsequent years when she is actually teaching. No real hardship on my part ( before you think I am all god-like) as I needed a change and I enjoy the current role. Plus she has waited 7 years to do this course, and now the youngest is at school, this is a good time

Next week is also when my bosses decide to send me off the the States again for an emergency meeting to hand-hold a nervous customer of ours during a product launch that may go completely 'tits-up' ( management term. honest ) - NOT the best timing in the world, as you can well imagine !! I've travelled twice a year overseas for the last 3 years, and was promised once per year MAX in the new role. Its now been twice in 6 weeks, and theres ANOTHER 3 definite trips before end of August!!

Wait thought, cos thats NOT the irony bit. As I'm in the States, I'll actually have more time to blog than I do at home... cue Alanis...
