It\u2019s a virtue, they say. <\/p>\n
And by \u201cthey\u201d I mean most people I ask about patience (those who don\u2019t are usually doctors who haven\u2019t quite heard me correctly).<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s the case, then call me Alan Non-Virtuous. There\u2019s nothing * worse than sitting around waiting for something you know\u2019s gonna be awesome.<\/p>\n
Alas, that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing at the moment. On the 26th of September I start Uni, doing a two year FdA in Digital Media Design, down in Brighton. It\u2019s going to completely blow my mind and open a range of opportunities I can only begin to imagine.<\/p>\n
However, I\u2019m at work until the 16th of September. Having resigned on the 1st of July, I\u2019ve already got the vast majority of my handover done and as there\u2019s no one to replace me yet I\u2019ve got no one to train up.<\/p>\n
So I spend a lot of my time looking at my Outlook calendar, seeing the \u201cLast day\u201d appointment, looking at \u201cDAYS TO GO.xls\u201d, checking the current date, looking at my Outlook calendar, seeing the \u201cLast day\u201d appointment… and so on.<\/p>\n
Anyone fancy a coffee? I wanna chat about the number of days I\u2019ve got left.<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
Anyone?<\/p>\n
…Hello?<\/p>\n
