Fort William

Hi kids,

Fort William is a little town in the west of Scotland which advertises itself as being the 'outdoor adventure capital of the UK'. If one were to venture outdoors today, 5 minutes is all it would take for one to get very wet and freeze ones tits off. As such, I'm stuck in the backpackers reading books, which isn't a bad thing I think. What really sucks is that I've left my camera at home, so there won't be any photos of the haggis I ate last night, or the lone piper on top of the mountain. (Kidding, there is no piper) Haggis, well, its glorified sausage mince really. At least thats what it tasted like. They don't cook it in sheeps stomach these days, they have plastic stomachs.

People seem to want to know about the job. Well, the insolvency service acts as an official receiver for individuals or companies that have been declared insolvent. Ross was right then, they oversee the disposal of the remaining assets of the company. A debt collector, as my mother so eloquently put it. My role is in the investigative department, I will be investigating insolvent company directors with a view to determining whether they have acted in breach of the law, and whether an application should be made to the court for additional penalties. To be honest, it sounds dead boring, theres no court work and there is masses of financial documents to wade through, but its an income and that will do for now. Don't worry about that though Alice, just get yourself over here!

Anyways, better get back to the book. miss you all.

I'm aware of the reputation that Software Development has in the excitement arena and that the following statement is akin to the old statement about glasshouses, but your new job sounds like boredom incarnate.

Still, your job is what you make it.
