It sure has been a while since I last posted anything on here. Then again, this hasn't been my primary online haunt for a good six years now. But still, I might as well post something when I do pop by, right?

I had knee surgery towards the end of November. They stuck two metal rods in my knee and used 'em to repair a tear in my cartilage. I've past my initial six week recovery period now and I can certainly feel the difference. My leg use to pop out of place almost daily before the op, and now it feels more stable than the other. Granted, there are some small negatives. I'm double jointed, and it feels like my knee isn't anymore. It's bigger than the other knee and not nearly as flexible. Granted, my recovery might not be entirely over just yet. but it's still slightly worrying. I rather like my flexibility, and it would be a shame if I couldn't swing my legs well above and behind my head anymore.

I sent off for my security license yesterday. I should get my working permit within a couple of weeks. They last three years and allow you to manhandle drunks for a living, which I'm fully trained to do. Got top marks in drunk tossing Physical Intervention and CCTV, though I would much rather do the latter than the former. Better pay just to sit in an EU regulated padded chair and watch a monitor for a few hours. Honestly, it's more cushy than working construction, which is basically two hours of lifting and six of drinking tea and prating about.
