New start

After almost 9 years and many adventures with some excellent people, i have finally left Eduserv and moved on to new challenges. Leaving a job i had been in for so long as hard and its was strange to leave so many people who I had grown to know so well.

However working in Bristol rather than Bath is a big plus, 20 minutes walk as opposed to an hour plus commute has many positives, and the new variety of projects I get to work on has introduced new challenges and opportunities.  The company, Felinesoft has thus far been exciting, busy  and very very different from the ‘serv’.  Being much much smaller there is a ‘pitch in and get it done approach’ which is only found in smaller setting.

I think i shall be happy here

Lest we forget

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d:

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
