		<description><![CDATA[You could have read back over some of the old posts, because I suspect you missed some of the more controversial statements altogether, buried within layers of articulate but verbose ruminations on this idea, that activity, the other place. And you can still go back and check, if you like. Why didn't you do that? There were some great photos. Comment below, if you can find the controversial statements.

Yes, I've been busy recently, and although I may have mistakenly given the impression that I quit my job in a particularly dramatic fashion, sticking it to The Man in all my bridge-burning glory ("To Hell with you and your Goddamned job, I'm leaving! And I'm taking Michaela with me!") it really wasn't like that, and I gave four entire week's notice. I also didn't get Michaela, which was even more disappointing. The next reaction I've been getting is generally "Whooo! Must be so awkward to be there after writing all that!" and that hasn't been the case either. At least, not more awkward than usual, which is actually more than most people would tolerate is one of the reasons I called it a day anyway. So business as usual.]]></description>

I went up on Friday night to visit my friend Martha, see how she is, inspect her new gaff, have a look at Drogheda. Actually, Martha's been discouraging me from coming up and having a look at Drogheda since last summer, on the grounds that it wasn't interesting enough to visit but I'll find anything I haven't had a look at within the last five to ten years interesting, including Northern industrial towns such as Drogheda, and it couldn't be less interesting than Bray (which, to be fair, seems to hold some sort of peculiar exotic fascination for most people who don't go there).]]></description>

It's not exactly earth-shattering, but I got an email from a company doing work for a client company (bear with me) of Parallel (where I work) about the site I mentioned previously in a post - <a href="http://www.andcurve.com/wordpress/2005/09/09/this-isnt-fun-should-it-be/">http://www.andcurve.com/wordpress/2005/09/09/this-isnt-fun-should-it-be/</a> - which is <a href="http://www.combatclimatechange.ie">http://www.combatclimatechange.ie</a>. Now, they asked me to blog about it again, and although since this is my personal blog I'm not going to start mentioning stuff as a favour to a large commercial organisation (because they have the money, they can buy advertising and a slot on Google), I will mention it simply because I found it interesting; I mention <em>their</em> site and suddenly I'm showing up on the web, and I have people noticing this and emailing me.]]></description>
