This blog has moved…

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Thanks to Hen I have now moved to an infinitely more reliable paid-for self hosting site. I bought a paid-for package sometime last year and never used it. Today I bought the domain bunnycorcoran.com.
Since this current blog has been running I’ve been using a freebie web hosting service and that old adage certainly proved true; [...]

I am so going to this

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Upcoming photo exhibition at Tate Modern, London, beginning next week:
Street & Studio: An Urban History of Photography

Showreel

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

I had a think about what films I’ve seen recently and whether I liked them or would recommend them or not. Anyway, the ones I can think of include:
Sleuth (2007)
A real disappointment. Michael Caine and Jude Law (a good line-up you might think) but not a patch on the original. The original film is one [...]

They’ve offered me the job!!

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

I’ve now found out that they’ve offered me the job.
Was in quite a state of shock when she called me to tell me. The basic salary they’re offering is more than I’m on, the bonus (the whole scheme is different) is less. But their pension scheme is better and some of their other staff perks [...]

Low on news

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Not a lot of news today. The agency called and said they’d had (positive) feedback from N, who I’d met yesterday. But AFAIC (as far as I’m concerned) that doesn’t mean all that much as he’s not the decision maker, just an influencer. He’s meeting the Director (of the corporate function I perform) tomorrow and [...]

Another update…

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Yet another update.
There’s not a great deal to say unfort. I met the guy at lunchtime and we went for a sandwich. Turns out he’s only been there 2 months and is himself on contract. The role would involve working closely with him. I got on pretty well with him (he’s middle aged, married with [...]

While We Were Hunting Rabbits

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I remain totally in love with this song. While We Were Hunting Rabbits by Matthew Good. Love it so much!

The final hurdle…

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I got the feedback from the agency today. Was horrendous. There’s me, sitting at my desk with my personal mobile on the desk, knowing it just may ring, with feedback following my interview last week. I have it set to ‘meeting’ mode so it won’t alert people to the fact I’m taking calls. I spend [...]

Summer in the City

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

So today was perhaps the hottest day of the year so far. Crazy weather. It reached 28c in the shade in ‘A’s garden.
I woke about 7.45am and was at the gym by 9.25am. There was a tramp on the train, in my carriage. I pitied him (he was drunk and didn’t smell very nice). Must [...]

Mothers who blog

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Front page of today’s Telegraph Weekend section was an article about mothers who blog. Was fascinating. I was at ‘A’s and as soon as I opened the paper and saw the article I said “OMG I bet Hen is in this!!!”. Her blog wasn’t listed (probably much to her relief) but it was a very [...]
