BioWell not a lot to say I work in Tech support a thankless and dispiriting job enlivened only by the cameraderie of my work mates and the unrelenting stupidity of management and the general public. Thankfully my work is not my life, although at the moment not a lot is happening I just broke up with my girlfriend of four years (we were engaged too) although to a certain extent we're still friends so it could be worse I guess.
So that makes me nearly thirty, living a bachelor life and stuck in a dead end job.
Still I've got plans, long term I want to go back to university, complete a PhD and get into serious academic work, in the short term I need to get a better job, pay off some debts and travel a bit.
I'm something of an intellectual, I prefer the Russian term "intelligentsia" which has more connotations of social responsibility, my politics are certainly left wing, a somewhat anarchist flavoured marxism, tempered I hope with a degree of tolerance.
Well enough about me, I hope if you're interested you might read more, I'm even going to try and update.
Props to Reb at http://ljlayouts.org/ where I've got my layout from (tweaked the text a little)
