Ring o' ring o' roses

Oops. I said I would blog more often and I've clearly failed at this. Soz.

I am still at the Scottish Government on my assignment, I ought to be here until September unless I find something better! It's going fine. We moved upstairs at the weekend so all have new desks, although to be honest I'm not keen on the arrangement as it is much less sociable than before. Despite being on a floor with more people I feel more isolated. Which does very little to help my already non-existant social quota.

As for jogging, I haven't been in a few weeks as I'd been ill and wanted to wait til I was better. Now I am, I need to re-find my motivation. Which is hard. I do know that I feel better when I jog, and it's wholly satisfying, so I just need to muster up the enthusiasm again.

Remember too that today is election day! In Scotland we have our national elections for the Scottish Parliament (who will be the next government, ie. my bosses?), and of course the whole of the UK has the Alternative Vote referendum. Personally I'm voting Yes to AV as it's a much fairer and more democratic system that the current First Past The Post (FPTP). It's not a perfect voting system, but it's better than what we've got so we may as well go for it while we've got the chance. Regardless of who you support you should go and vote and make your voices heard! I'll be going to vote after work.

Anyway, back to work...
