I did some work on the car this weekend after we got back from our weekend away in the caravan. It was a simple change out of the iPod box attached to the stereo in the car. Simply remove the stereo, unplug 5 cables, remove old box, place in new box, plug in 5 cables, test, put stereo back and final test. Everything went fine up until the last step, after putting the stereo back in place it the new iPod connection stopped working. ARGH. So I had to remove it, change one cable, put it back, remove it, put it back, remove it and put it back one more time before everything finally worked. At one point the car thought the bonnet was open, WTF was that? Still after about an hour it was all done. I now know I chose the right career for me, very little physical labour or fiddly manual stuff. My job involves thinking and pressing buttons on a keyboard to make computers do things. Pretty simple really. Sometimes I have to connect cables but that is very rare considering even phones are now virtual on a computer nowadays and don't need a physical connection. I know I have an easy job physically and am really glad for it. My hands (which have several scratches on them now) are also glad as well.
Now only just over a week until another night away for 19 years of marriage to my lovely wife. As the years mount up it is getting kind of weird that I've reached this point in my life. You can't imagine it when you are younger and now that I am here I can't imagine my life without all the time with my wife. Strange really, you change so much in your outlook over time.
