Well, I have arrived in Chamonix. Just wandering round town, getting my bearings, taking photos (some of'm will make it as pics of the day when I get back). On the subject, photos for the 4th and today.

I'm beginning to get the pictures of the day up. So here's the ones for the 1st, 2nd and, because it's after midnight, the 3rd.

Yesterday was a lost day, spent alternating between sleeping and being sick, so all of the stuff I promised for New Year's Day didn't appear. With luck it'll all go up tonight. I did say the epilogue could be delayed by a major hangover, and so it was.
I had to give the car back today. It had 11,850 miles on the clock, not bad considering I only had it for seven or eight months. I'm going to miss it, but only for a little while.

Addition to Resolution-
Take more photographs! I'm going to try and post an image a day (or the equivalent) in 2002.

It's nearly New Year. I'm going to be so glad to see the back of 2001. It had such promise early in the year, but that all gave way to disappointments, frustration and bad management.
I'm into the final straight of my 3 1/2 + years employment with The Gas, my absolute final day has been set as 15th February. Tthough the way things tend to work out, that'll probably become some time in March. There are a few people I'll miss, and one ex-manager who I'll be glad to never see again (though someone with a mysterious resemblance to her will be popping up in The Eliza Effect- why make up idiot managers when you have such a rich source making your life hell.) It feels wierd, and a little scary, but it's past time to move on.
List time (it is the end of the year, after all)-
Places I'll gladly never visit again-
Southampton
Barnet
Solihull
Staines
Leicester
Places I'd happily return to under other circumstances-
Cardiff
Edinburgh
London
Undecided-
Croydon
Richmond
Kingston
Observations-
If someone wants you sacked for another person's mistakes, you're probably in the wrong company.
Never promise more than you can deliver, and bitch slap anyone who does it for you.
In this networked world, why did I have to drive over 10,000 miles in the last six months?
Resolution-
Happier, healthier, wiser.
