Let the slacking commence

The exams are over!!!! Ah the freedom, the bliss, the empty nothingness.

I know you are jealous.

So is it all milk and honey in the world of the Bristoltraveller? No. I'm off to work tonight, and tomorrow night, and Saturday, and Sunday. If its anything like last Saturday I won't wait til August 1st (My official leaving date), I'll go now.

One positive is that next week I'm back off to Scotland to get heavily inebriated, see a play and just get away from whatever it is that I don't want to do down here. Not that I know, but it always shows it's head.

The second positive is that as of next Saturday my allegiances change at work, from then on the Bar has my priorities rather than my current position. Change is good, enough said.

The third positive is that in 5 weeks my dad comes home, after 4 1/2 months away. I know he says he's a Chief Engineer on a cruise ship, but when he is transferred out to Tahiti, you do have to wonder what the hell he is getting upto.

That means that in 6 1/2 weeks I'm off to Croatia, for two weeks in the sun. Which means by powers of observation that in under 6 1/2 weeks I would have quit my job.

So it all seems to be getting rather good for me at the moment. Especially now that the diet has made me loose 1/2 a stone in only a week. Yet the phrase... Famous last words will probably come back to haunt me.
