It wisnae me

Sent a wee e-Mail round a number of folk at work berating them for leaving their PCs switched on for the last week.  Bear in mind here that I can see who is currently logged in and for how long and I still get the moan "it couldn't have been me, I wasn't here all week".  

Ah! so that means you've been running the PC for longer than the week then.  Come on, take the telling off on the chin and be a bit more environmentally aware.  When you have finished for the day and are going home, shutdown Windows and then switch off your monitor.  

Lack of planning

Due to others not planning ahead I'm now being held back in updating information that the rest of my company needs to see. Guess who will be getting the blame for this though, not the people who should have been passing me the data, oh no, the blame will land squarely at the feet of yours truly.

The thing that really annoys me though is that this constantly happens, we never seem to learn our lessons, despite me berating everyone every time this happens.

The long wait begins...

I've now handed in my written examination material and now begins the long wait until December before I find out the results of both this and the effect it has had on my overall mark.  I'm hopefull of getting a good mark and really only want to beat SHMBO's results from last year!  As long as I don't fail I will be happy though.

Enfin!

Just back from my French oral exam.  Think I did quite well actually, it wasn't as hard as I was expecting and everyone else that was in before me came out with a huge smile on their face, perhaps just relief but I think it was because they found it easier than they imagined too!

Got to wait until early December before I find out the result and I still have a written paper to send in by the end of this month.  Feeling fired up now though so not looking as onerous as it did earlier this morning.

Zut alors! French exam looming

Tomorrow I have my oral French exam. Not looking forward to it at all but c'est la vie, something I've got to do. Doing well in all my written assessments so far though with 84% being the lowest mark. This exam counts towards 25% of my overall mark so need to do as well as I can.

It's been a while

Deja vu or what? I've not been blogging for quite some time, at least not on public blogs anyway. I'm going to make a concerted effort to start being a bit more regular. Not every day and not on any particular topic (at least to start). Might have some grumbles, the odd joke but hopefully all light-hearted and possibly a bit interesting for someone.

Photo assignment

Absolutely ages ago I took some photographs of the Free French Memorial in Greenock but wasn't overly happy with the results. Seeing today was sunny and I wasn't at work (whoopee!) I drove out to retake them. Much happier with the results and also retook some photos of an iron beacon while I was there.

On the way back home I stopped and took some photos of the Millennium Bridge in Glasgow, lovingly called the Squinty Bridge by the weegies as it runs over the River Clyde at an angle, see it here.

Well earned rest

Today is the start of a week off work. Looking forward to the rest, not doing anything in particular and not planning to really go anywhere or do anything other than take Denise through to Edinburgh for some shopping for supplies for her blossoming Jewellery business.

The day doesn't look promising on the weather front, but I'll take my camera just in case.

Rain stops play

Was all ready to go out this morning with my camera to take pictures of the Slide over the Clyde charity event but rain has stopped play. Typical West coast weather, fine yesterday but raining today. Might wander along to watch anyway but too much rain for me to get my digital camera out.

Planning to go through to Edinburgh tomorrow so hopefully the weather will be better and I can get some shots while I am there. The Festival is on at the moment so there will be plenty of photo opportunities.

It's been a while

Not been posting recently and really need to get into the habit of posting a bit more often. I've been quite busy at work lately and have been driving right across the country for 10 days and found that very tiring. When I got home it seemed to be eat, sleep, get up and go to work. :(

All work and no play...

Did set up a blipfoto account though. Check it out here http://www.blipfoto.com/amnoaweegie

I hope to post something to both on at least a weekly basis. We'll see ;)
