The Pod Files - Thursday 23 November 2023 part one


Immediately rubbish work wise. 

Buses were running late from where I live into town, which surprisingly got me into town earlier due to catching a late bus that should have been earlier. 

I arrived at the train station fifteen minutes before the train was due, only to then find out that the first of my trains I needed to catch for work was cancelled, meaning that I would miss the connecting train. 

Oh well, these things happen.  It explains why people prefer to use their own transport to get around, because of these problems.

What a crock of shit that was, and so is going from 49 to 50...  Someone asked me about it, saying “what’s it like to turn 50?” My answer was something along the lines of “like it’s a day after being 49!” I’ve still got thin hair on my head, with lots of grey therein. I still make the money at the same job, which I’ll probably still unfortunately be doing in a year when I’ll turn 51!  The changes that have happened recently have very little to do with that transition.  Or do they? I’ve mentioned before to people, particularly fellow podcasters, but I think also in my previous blog series (Ramblings of a Forty Something), that I had been thinking about doing some new things, because the then still a few months...
