Of Work, Quizzes and Reduced Alcoholism.

Yes, yes, I know I’ve been a bit remiss in posting of late, but it’s been all go, I tell you.

I’ve started a new job, you see (or rather been enticed back to my old one) which has been occupying my thoughts more than anything else of late I must confess. So I’m now back in the exciting world of client reporting and busy rebranding / amending documentation, rewriting training materials and - only a week and half after joining - presenting training courses to clients.

Lord, I’d missed the training. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed it actually.

And all told I’m feeling much more relaxed than I have done in quite some time actually. Which is evident from the fact my skin is starting to look less haggard and that my desire for alcohol has somewhat reduced. (In fact on many days I’m down to half what I used to tank away.)

The Vauxhall Griffin quiz is still going strong too. In fact, spurred on by a £300 jackpot the last two weeks (which is still to be won) and improved bonus prizes the number of attendees has increased hugely. In fact we had twenty teams on Tuesday which is unheard of. Admittedly controlling that size of audience is trickier and makes the marking a bit more fraught, but to be part of such a success is rather gratifying (and of course the pub’s happy because they’re raking it in).

So, if you’re not up to owt else on Tuesday night, why not pop along? Get there before 7:30 is my advise. I know we don’t start till eight but at this rate you won’t get a table otherwise.

And I can heartily recommend the food too. (Last orders for which are at 7:30.)
