The first of many

December 09 7 Comments Category: Musings

For those of you reading this at my Livejournal account: Hi! This is being cross-posted by the wonders of modern technology from my new internet home (and if the posting has worked you’ll see the URL in italics, somewhere below).

 

I’m writing this, sat at my PC at 6.25 a.m., having been awake since 4.00. This is starting to become a habit, and I’m not entirely sure why. It may be that I’m getting older, and need less sleep. Of course, it could just be this bloody cold. Time will tell, I guess.

I’m on The Weakest Link tonight on BBC1 at 5.15, and I thought I’d be more interested in this, but I’m not. It was filmed about 4 months ago, and the most interesting thing about the whole experience, is how excruciatingly dull the whole experience is. I may post more on it later.

And for those of you who simply can’t wait for the result: I didn’t win. Statistically, however, I was the strongest link throughout the entire game, which is something to cling onto.

Two weeks tomorrow sees my last day with my current employer. My dayjob at the moment is in M.I. (Management Information) and the preparation of quite large sums for billing to a government department. I almost fell asleep while typing that! On January 5th, however, I join Angry Robot as Assistant Editor. Angry Robot is the new sci-fi/horror/fantasy publishing business from Harper Collins, and I couldn’t be more excited. We have some really interesting plans, and it’s going to be an interesting journey. Again, I’ll be posting more on this, anon.

For now, while I still have an hour before I have to leave for work, I’m going to head upstairs for a relaxing soak in the bath with a good book.

  2. Hey Lee: I should point out that I’m not cyber-stalking you, just following the Angry Robot web-activity as it happens. It sounds like the AR gig may be slightly more interesting than the current one, but I’m sure doing something mundane will be a good grounding for when you’re off on conventions with Marc, drinking with the stars and doing all those other things assistant editors do. There may even be some work in there somewhere! :)
