The elation has gone
and the toll
of all those hours
of unpaid overtime
has come home
to roost
Why do this
I ask?
Because I love
working
is the reply
A passion for ones
work
involves
the lonely hours
with results
So satisfying

Amazon Buyers be aware of this Scam
It hurts!! I have been scammed and lost £346 through a scammer operating through the Amazon.co.uk site.
If you see this guy selling anything don't buy it!!
The moment money transer is mentioned, leave well alone.
The email addresses that I have corresponded though are:
Alexander Groom (oscar-dehn@hotmail.com)
orchard.order@googlemail.com
Why would any trustworty retailer have hotmail & gmail addresses? They are coming across as legit UK based companies with corresponding company websites.
Again - leave well well alone - pure scammers.
What really annoys me is that Amazon was warned about this scammer in early December according to a forum on their site and still he appears. I got scammed but they should have closed this guy out in early December.
So if it can happen to an old hand like me it can happen to anyone.
Thanks

the Snow 2009
In 2008 I loved the snow
So white
Silently drifting
Down to
Clothe the mediocrity
And grayness
Of the sad landscape
In 2009
I hate the snow
The central heating
Is on the blink
The hot water is off
And it's as cold
As a polar bears bum
So white
Silently drifting
Down to
Clothe the mediocrity
And grayness
Of the sad landscape
In 2009

Amidst the Gloom
Amidst the gloom
I found my books
and they led
me to a place
beyond the Clouds
of the ennui
of everyday life.

The Bus Stop
Standing at the Bus Stop
On a Cold Winter's morning
Grey sky streaked with
Post apocalyptic pink
Branches of the trees
Wind like filigrees of
twined skeletons
bare and stark
In the Newcastle
Dawn

Winter Contemplation
Winter creeps in slowly
turning the sky grey
but my spirit
remaains undaunted
because
every season rewards
the watchful
business person
Snow rakes
toboggans
hot mead
skis
tropical holidays
and the list goes on
and on
and
on
turning the sky grey
but my spirit
remaains undaunted
because
every season rewards
the watchful
business person

Rain in the Early Morning
Walking home in the rain
Father and daughter
Four a.m.
Umbrellas unfurled
Laughing
Saying who
Would have
thought we would
Be doing this
I will remember

Blahness
Today is blah
Cold with a cold
muffled
and fedup
I muse
on Life
Love
Creativity
and you
and blahness
retreats before
your radiant
smile

Stress
Unrelenting stress
slowly building

Energy comes

Be warned
no balance
More stress

The Flight Delay
In fair Newcastle toon
The fog was thick
and delayed
the flight 5 hours
When London we did reach
US Airways had gone home
address unknown
Five British Airways staff
knew five different answers to the same question
and all were wrong
A Hilton stay self funded
was required
companions 4 provided light relief
Next Day to Philly we did go
but alas our bags
had gone a journeying
unaccompanied
Go on to Pittsburgh they said
where bags will find you at the Marriott
or not
as in my unlucky case
Five days later at 2am my bags arrived
and today it all starts the other way
Who said business travel is fun!!
