Back At It

I have the internets once again and am slowly writing up some posts on energy. Thought I'd have a bit of time to write at work but it has become a slog that I no longer care for. From the time I started this job I would have to step out and look at the big picture of what I did/do, laugh about it and then go back to it, focusing more on the noise (I have a feeling that is what Metal sounds like to most people) emanating from my headphones more than anything else to simply retain my sanity. I felt way more stressed at work starting about mid-January than at any other time and its beginning to wear on me. This all means much less time for reading The Oil Drum and thinking about energy and economic issues. In summary, hey - someone else that hates their job... big woop.

In other news, my room is blue! There is no other activity that makes me more OCD and anal than painting - and I don't know why. It is finished and looks damn good IMHO though so I leave it at that. The house is still a bit of a mess - our lounge is more a storage space than anything else, and most rooms remain unfinished (read: need paint). But it is well livable and I look forward to the others moving in.
