It's looking like my days are numbered with my current job. I've just been asked to go to India to train up my replacements... Writings definitely on the wall now!!
Absolutely dreading re entering the job market, things have changed so much in 16 years.

Another mindfuck is realizing that decision about some aspect of a massive company. There wasn't some process or jury. There's just Some Person that decided most of it. And when that person is you, you get it. People come and think a choice was some huge deliberation. It wasn't. You just... decided.
Everyone who has ever worked their way up in a large org knows this.
At some point you look around and realize "wait... this is it?" - then you realize, its the same at every other large org on the planet.
And you realize that all of modern society just keeps working mostly by luck.

This looks far to shiny and new to be fitting to this very well used Massey 550 scraper tractor.
It's only in for a new engine and king pins rebuilding but going do something about that cab now

Spending my evening in Accident and Emergency having shards of metal dug out eye was not high on the list of how I thought my day would go today.
The whole experience is about as uncomfortable as you can imagine it being.

Quick messy painting of a new character, a Gnoll druid necromancer, Talin. He's FTM! (He/him!)
I'll never play him because I'm too socially anxious to play DnD but he's been living in my head rent-free for a while and wanted to paint him!

The con crud has well and truly got me today. Haven't managed to do anything all day.
I normally do quite well to avoid it too.
Work tomorrow is going to have hard going.

So sad to hear about the passing of @lapine.org.uk He was one of the first furs I ever had the pleasure to meet in person after I picked up the courage to attend the Chester meet way back in 2008.
You will be missed by a lot of people bunny.

Just got lucky with this year's car tax expiring just before they start taxing EV's in April.
It was good while it lasted, still saving over £1,300 a year vs what I was paying in diesel.
Only an other 4 years untill the Land Rover is over 40 years old and becomes tax exempt

Playing bakery counter roulet at a Dutch supermarket for dinner today. No idea what anything is as it's all in Dutch but there's 99.9% chance it will be some variant on cheese flavour XD
