Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Promotion

I was promoted at the start of the month – from 01 May, I am the Health, Safety and Environmental Manager rather than the Health and Safety Officer. It basically is a small pay rise but a vast rise in the amount of work to do. I’m not greatly happy about the way in which I got the position – the previous incumbent left the company, not by his own choosing. I’m on a very steep learning curve but it’s all good experience. I’ve just got the NEBOSH Environmental Diploma as well so I know have vast array of letters after my name:

BSc (Hons.) PhD MIOSH Dip2.OSH SpDipEM

The MIOSH will soon become a CMIOSH when I become chartered. But that’s another rant about IOSH…
