It's onyl out of a packet but the soup Im a' suppin' now is absolutely delicious. Brocolli and stilton may yet be the best comination of vegetable and cheese ever heard of.
SO:
As well as not emailing anybody for a long time, despite the fact that i promised I would when I had broadband, I've been pretty busy.
Things at work (pause to eat soup) are going pretty well. I have been promoted (the kind of promotion without any financial improvement) from the heady heights of Gardening and Cookery to the Wonderfull world of fiction. Then i got promoted again to the "sales influencing role" of FOS a TLA (three letter acronym) meaning Front of Store. (Mmmmm this soup is good!) Here I control what sells to the people who first walk in through the door, do the window disåplays and bestsellers. This is all a bit more work with no extra money but im doing it because there is another manager position opening shortly and it puts me in a really good position to take it on. If i don't get that then I'll probably be leaving Borders soon after to get onwith my life. On my days off I've started working at Oxfam because one of the things I might be able to do after Borders is take on the management of one of their stores here in Bristol which would make me feel a whole lot better about my proffessional life. (awhhh, my soup finished).
I recently did something I don't normally do and sent you all a chain email to help save the brazillian rainforeset. I thought this was a good cause and apparently it WAS about ten years ago when the government actually voted on the issue I got you all to sign up for. SO thats the last time I EVER do that again. I blame Scott Howard, becuase it was his fault.
In response to the American elections I have also joined the Liberal Democrat party. It was the only thing I could think of to do in response. So now you can bet your asses Ill be emailing all of you come election time to try and swing some politics the right way over here! Really I did it for the little card they send you in return (which I haven't recieved yet).
The last piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is my busy life is the Story. I've now begun researching publishers to send it to and have set myself a deadline of this Wednesday to have the second draft completed. It's going really well and im more excited about it than ever. im also more paranoid becuase ever day i don't send it off I expect some other bastard to bring out something similar. For this reason I won't be sending it out to anybody until the contract with the publisher is signed. Very very cool. . .
So everybody, that's me. I hope this wasn't impersonal or nothing I try and keep it as personnal as I can, why are you never satisfied????!!!!!!!
This is Alistair Spalding, going to make some more soup, Signing off.
