Look at my spiffy Brokeback Mountain icon that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
niannah made!
So the first two days in my new job went okay. There's so much stuff for me to learn as I have no background in the area whatsoever. I must say it's been quite nice to use my brain again. All the people I've met and spoken to so far seem really friendly and helpful so that's good.
The bad thing is that I haven't gone into work today as when I woke up, I looked in the bathroom mirror and realised that the left side of my face was swelled up, rather like it does when I've taken aspirin. I had to take my inhaler and I've been itchy all over. God knows what I'm allergic to now. I went to the doctors and got some antihistamines but they don't seem to have worked as yet. I guess I'll have to see if it happens again and see what the cause is. I'm just hoping it's not the cats...
I saw this on the news last night:
A Euro MP for the UK Independence Party has sparked controversy hours into his first day in the Strasbourg parliament.
Godfrey Bloom was given a seat on the European Parliament's women's rights committee on Tuesday.
But he told the media: "No self-respecting small businessman with a brain in the right place would ever employ a lady of child-bearing age."
Mr Bloom, an investment fund manager from York, told journalists he wanted to deal with women's issues because: "I just don't think they clean behind the fridge enough".
"I am here to represent Yorkshire women who always have dinner on the table when you get home. I am going to promote men's rights," he added.
I have no words.
I'm just going to take a moment to pimp one of my favourite communities of the moment:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
shacking_up. It's a closed Sirius/Remus community where all manner of fabulous fics, fic recs and art are posted.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go to theshoebox_project and press refresh repeatedly in the vain hope that it will be updated.

(oooh, different shades of pink *wibbles*. Work only has yellow or blue - perhaps I should take in my lovely multi-coloured square ones even though I used all the neon yellow ones of the top)
