The project that i work on has been cancelled. Understandably i am concerned about losing my job (again). I am doing my best not to worry, but it's hard. I am going to be learning a new system, btu whether this one will pick up i don't know. Maybe it's time i thought about teaching...

Damn, and i had booked prague and skiing too.

I tried ringing the snowdome again, and got through to a very rude person. They told me that the smallest size is now a 4! I left another VM with the ski hire manager, and hopefully he will get back to me today. I feel very frustrated by this, especially since the rude girl on the phone told me that i simply wouldn't be able to snowboard if they didn't have my size.

I am feeling quite low today.

But not so low that i did nothing. I know that there are other indoor snowboarding placec, and i phoned up milton keynes snozone who were not only polite on the phone, but had the information abotu the smallest sized boot quickly to hand. Ok i had to go on hold for 20 seconds, but they got me the answer i needed.

What was it? It's a size 1. Which means that whether i need the one, or a slightly larger 2, i am catered for! They do an 8 hour (!) snowboard in a day for only 100 pounds, which is probably what i would do, since i would have to travel a fair way to MK. Of course, if i hate it i'm there for 8 hours, which is actually a very long time. I am usually quite tired after an hour of skiing....but i want to learn to board. I could just go for the one hour lesson, although it does seem a long way to go for an hour! And then there is the problem that if i do like it, i still can't have further lessons at the snowdome. Maybe i should take a trip to the snowdome and try on some of the boots?
