Work started this morning on the disused fuel tanks at the garage. This afternoon, the coverings on the old lumps had been removed with no pumps in evidence. It looks as if they may be degassing the tanks and sealing them.
Young people involved with the Aiming Higher project spent yesterday's work inspiration day at the City of Belfast Boxing Club followed by a workplace tour of Business in the Community's HQ. Opportunities like this encourage young people, who maybe don't have much experience of what a workplace is like, to ask questions, meet potential employers and come away with ideas about what they might like to do in the future.

This is how I found my home when I arrived from my holidays. Actually worse than this, a week has gone by since I got back and still not ready... Patience, patience....
Red Stapler! My old cube, but even at my new one it's pretty much the same. Minus that awful green piggy bank at the corner of it. It talks. SO ANNOYING. My old boss kept putting it there and he and the mailman had a ball pressing the button. No matter how many times I tried to make it dissapear.. it always came back. Until I killed it.

Purchased 10/19/06. I finally broke down and bought the thing. He had it on promo. Came with a pretty cool graphic (rat fink is always cool, regardless of his history) and with a free hutch. It's hard for the tool trucks to carry hutches around with them, so it's coming via UPS in a couple weeks. This thing was way more than I wanted to pay, and it put me off buying the house for another year, but there was no more tricks to be had with my roll around. It was giving up.
Long time no see. xD Yeah, so, I drew a pic of Christina Grimmie (from youtube) as a fan photo to her. What do you think? :]

The great rarity of this chair lies in the original wool Turkey-work that covers its seat and back. “Turkeywork” refers to a type of woven fabric with a knotted-and-cut wool pile that was made in England in imitation of Turkish carpets. Used for chairs, cushions, and table coverings, the fabric was exported in matching sets for chairs. Decorative fringe once covered the row of nails around the seat and back. Simple chair frames of this sort were also commonly upholstered in leather or plain wool fabric.
Provenance
Dr. Irving Whitall Lyon, Hartford, Connecticut, by 1891; his son, Dr. Irving P. Lyon, Buffalo, New York, by 1923; Mrs. J. Insley Blair, Tuxedo Park, New York, 1923-died 1951.
