So today is my last regular blog post for the foreseeable future.
There’s a few reasons for this …
1/ I piss off on my ‘deny I’m 40’ birthday tour tomorrow … which means, on pain of death … I will not be allowed anywhere near email/internet, let alone have the time to write anything.
2/ Even if I don’t get arrested while away [which happens more regularly than you’d think] when I come back, I only have a couple of days to pack up the house before buggering off to Shanghai so blogging will definitely not be high on the agenda.
3/ Once in China, I only have 5 days to find a house before I start my new life/job, which means even if I did have internet access [which I won’t], I’d still have to contend with the lovely Great Firewall of China banning my blog.
4/ The very first day I start at W+K, I fly to Portland [Whoohoo!] so my brain will be occupied with ‘new job immersion/brainwashing’ rather than writing yet more pointless twaddle.
5/ Once I’m back in the capital of communism, I have to give precedence to getting to know my team, my clients and my life – so pissing about on the internet and writing toss will just have to wait.
Now I appreciate all this blog interruption is probably great news to you, for me, it’s a major thing because even though you wouldn’t know it, writing my daily rant helps me think or at least clear my head so I can think … so for the next few months, I pity anyone who has to work with me because no doubt I’ll be even more of a basket case than I usually am.
Saying that, there will be the occasional blog post … I can tell you that there’s already one written for the 12th June [my birthday], 15th June [Jill’s birthday] and the 16th June [Paul’s birthday] and no doubt there’ll be the odd one shoved in every now and then either talking about how I’ve been arrested by the Chinese Government and/or my first impressions of being an employee again [not to mention the results of the A[P]SOTW] … but until then, I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for your friendship, insults and advice over the 4 years this pile of toss has been running and even if it means I am a fucking idiot, I look forward to reading your comments/slurs when I’ve finally got a bit settled and this blog is back to being as regular as a man who eats fibre each day.*
When I come back I’ll be 40 and living in China.
God help us all.
