Redundancy Day 7 – Whatever, forever

Back to it after a weekend of leaving it as well alone as possible. One thing that you don’t consider is the repetitiveness of it all.

Turns out it’s been four years since I’ve posted anything here (the movielife were good but they didn’t put me off writing for life, life just happened). There’s been all sorts of changes from when I started typing this in between writing content for work about adult incontinence or hoses! (more…)

Redundancy – WTF – Day 1
