Last night I wasted 3 hours of my life watching the demise of John Cusack’s career. Ladies and gentlemen, 2012 was the biggest pile of shit to hit the screens this year, second only to Twilight: New Moon. Mind you, I wasn’t expecting anything from this movie other than a good mindless romp, but it wasn’t even that. It was just pure utter organic manuer. I know JC only did this so he can finance his indie films, and I give him credit for that, but surely he could’ve picked something thoughtless AND entertaining. sigh At least it wasn’t a Renny Harlin film.

How I did it: I didn't really have to do anything. My old company called me and asked if I would join them in their Glasgow office. They offered me more money (in return for more responsibility). The commute is gonna kill me, but at least I'll be receiving a pay check again! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't really have an approach. Things just came to mind as I went on. I tried to concentrate on the small things as well as big ones, because it's more often that the little things make me happy. Read how I did it…
The nice thing about returning to my former place of employment is that the people (some anyway) are creative thinkers. Bonus of working in the Glasgow office is that I get to work directly with the graphic designer.
Score!
At the moment I’m waking up at 6:45 to go walk to work from my partner’s place in Glasgow. I’m certain I’ll have to wake up at least 45 minutes earlier than that once I start commuting from Edinburgh. This is not exactly what I had in mind when I listed this goal.
