Damn the wee man
Just got an email from Colin who's busy touring India at the moment. He left around the start of November, so he's been away for about 1/4 of a year now and I thought it was time to find how things were really going.
Still I definitely feel I made the right decision jacking in work. Even the thought of being back at the NHS still fills me with dread!
Nice. Thanks for that. Here I am, stuck at work, reading emails about him living the high life in India. The hardest part of his day is apparently deciding whether to have another beer or not. Honestly I don't see how that can be hard ... of course you'll have another beer!
So, is he missing his job and the company of his friends so much that he'll be jumping on the next flight home? Will he hell.
Long term plans are mucho liable to change, but..... Perhaps a plane from Chennai/Madras to Singapore and then travel north through Malaysia/Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam/Laos kinda of area. Maybe China? Maybe back down to Indonesia? I was speaking to somebody who said it was easy to get a job English teaching in Taiwain/South Korea. I wouldn't mind giving that a go if I could get a 3 month contract. And although it's a long way off a working holiday visa in Australia still sounds like a good option.
Oh well .. looks like I'll be stuck with the usual drinking buddies for the time being. Nothing like emails in this vein to brighten up an, otherwise dull, working day.
On a lighter note ... at least the new design on the blog looks better.

I think you've been out drinking about 3 times since Colin left. Get your act together man! Your usual drinking buddies are more likely to recognise "Ian fae Troon" than you these days.

Poor poor Sam! Although I don't JUST feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for me too. I want to pack it in and just globetrot for a year or so and have the tough decision of having another beer or not, or whether to go to Thailand first and THEN Vietnam, or the other way around. Sheesh, sounds like he's living the tough life.
One of these days, Sam...we'll put on the backpacks and meet in front of the Treasury in Jordon on our respective globetrotting missions with not a care in the world!
And I do like this blog layout better than the other one. :)

There's no need for that Andy
