tek, dominating unknown parameters since '76

Well I've spent most of the last week away down in Wokingham on some training for our shiny new CMS at work. The training wasn't the best but it's enough to get me started off of configuring the system for our end-users. The trip down there took nearly 5 hours which wasn't bad considering how bad the weather was. The hotel was nice, well I say nice, the only really good thing was the shower. It was powerful enough to make you think that you were getting a beating. Just what you need after a full English in the morning. The room were nice but no free Wi-Fi even in the public areas which was a bummer as the hotel was out near the motorway so not much going on.

We headed in to Reading on the final night and ate, or tried to eat, the biggest burger I have ever ordered. This THING was 16oz. One of the people who'd travelled down with us had nothing more to say than "You fat, fat bastard" as he saw the plate hit the table. I must admit I think I over ordered especially considering it came with chips and salad to. I had a mighty good stab at it though and managed to eat most of it. Reading wasn't cheap though, far from it.

With the last day over we headed back up North much to my relief to be honest.

I've finished my current job and last week they presented me with some t-shirts and a fancy CCCP laptop bag (which is ace I must say) and a card. We all went out for a few beers on Thursday night. I start my new job tomorrow and I'm straight in to a meeting at 9am, the joy! Seriously I can't wait to start it's going to be ace.

You tell me I can't slow down
you tell me where I've got to be,
I spin into the darkness
but I swear that I can't see anything in front of me
no, it's a joke, I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
you're closing in behind me
I've got headlight in my eyes
don't get too close to me
can't you see that we'll collide
and then because of this
it's just all wrong
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
so leave me on my own
brought me down and race away (from me-distant)
I've got nowhere to go
I don't think I can get back on my feet (back on my feet )
it came right out of the water
eyes wide and terrified
I can't pull my brakes on
I can't swerve to stay alive
cos then I'll lose control
and I can't choose
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
so leave me on my alone
brought me down and race away (from me-distant)
I've got nowhere to go to
I don't think I can get back on my feet (back on my feet )
get me out of harms way
can't you see I'm paralysed
I wanna fade out gracefully
but you keep keeping me alive
to face another day
can't you see I'm through
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
can't keep away
can't keep away-distant
can't keep away-distant
can't keep away-distant

tell me how am am I, god
I wanna end this cervex saw
till this night-light expires
I wanna go swimming in the sun
and I come up for breath
sit in god's room
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
I'm only for consumption
I don't know how to play my part
I swear I'm all lonely in this thing (unsure)
and I'm drivimg my car
to oblivion, let it come soon
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you.
