I want to meet Howard Marks if i can but they say that i can't

S’up blogosphere.

In a fit of peak just after my last post I withdrew all my iPoker monies. The old dog of a PC had restarted 3 times during a session (only happens with iPoker clients – taking up too much CPU???), plus I’d dropped a few buy-ins to nittier dudes than me and I hadn’t seen a fish in like 2 years. And so the search for a new home began. I listed some options in the previous post and went for none of them. I am now one of the 5 regs on Everleaf. Traffic is poor but you’re never going to be without a huge fish on your table as Italians are allowed on this network (or perhaps just on my particular skin, im not sure). Having said all that I’ve played poorly there so far and I’m down a few BI’s. I did start off trying to obliterate people with some laggy game and have now settled down to a 23/20 comfortable style which is proving profitable. Looks like a decent enough ‘home’ for the time being.

Easy money Retro-time – last month I stuck a few K into Betfair for the sole reason of playing the Eurovision Song contest in-running market. Started by laying Ireland for the max (Couldn’t be having Jedward) and traded some of other runners. I missed out on the Azerbaijan money train but scored a nice little profit overall. Just like the old times.

Work update. Redundancy stuff is ongoing and morale is a bit bleak. Although no specific people have been identified, its clear who will get the axe in my office. So unless someone unexpectedly chips in for voluntary redundancy the little old lady we hired in January is probably the one to go. When we hired her she was doing a job finders scheme for the long term unemployed. To say she was over-the-moon to get the gig would be an understatement. She does a good job but just doesn’t have the skills/experience of my other ladies yet. Whilst some air-head blonde from our control centres will waltz into another job, this lady will struggle due to her age. It’s a sh!t old world sometimes.

Best get back to it… paperwork doesn’t shuffle itself you know.
