Diary Post

Well, I've done it, I've succumbed to the delights (I hope) of the virtual world

Not that I've been a technophobe or some kind computer illiterate basket-case until now, you understand. I've just never had the time before to get involved.

So now, here I am Not that I particularly wanted to be here, but I find time off has been 'imposed' upon me An enviable predicament you may think, but the truth is I've just been sacked! And before you ask, I believe quite unjustly

That by the way, brings me to the second reason for believing my enforced sabbatical may continue for some considerable time is that essentially I was sacked because my employer found out that I am a Hepatitis C sufferer

There, I've said it - I am a Hepatitis C sufferer, I'm still getting to grips with being able to say that

Now you may think that you can't get sacked on those grounds, and strictly speaking you can't. But when a company finds out that kind of information, trust me, they'll find a way

So, that's the reason I'm here, for anyone who's interested

OK, enough for now, I'll write you soon, take care
