I started a new job a little over a month ago. The actual job, where I sit down and do the actual work, isn’t too bad. But I’m now working north of the city. I live south of the city. So getting here, taking so long to get here, having to catch the bus rather [...]
I have two daughters. They were born 2.5 years apart and the birth of my second roughly coincided with when gmail was starting up by invitation only and giving email addresses to blogger users. I thought, being the forward thinking type, it would be a good idea to sign my girls up right then. Sure, [...]
Where to begin. Or, where to pick up. Time is precious and this has always been the project I’ve dabbled at using the time that’s fallen between the cracks of Important Things. I kind of disappeared for a while though. I changed jobs and the way I had structured my time previous to that completely [...]
I’ve often thought I should try liveblogging. If only for my own entertainment. But y’know… Firstly, at the time most liveblogworthy things are on, I’m usually getting kids to bed, loading the dishwasher and generally cleaning up the mess I’ve made earlier in the afternoon. Secondly, and probably more pertinently, I live in South Australia [...]
Thought I should put up some kind of notification along the lines of “we will resume normal service as soon as possible as we can” even though it’s a bit like me chopping down a tree in the forest, popping in some earplugs, getting out of the way and letting it fall. I will get [...]
I didn’t take a lunch break today, so finished up a little early and used a bit of time at the end of the day to go and have my hair cut. I changed jobs a few weeks ago, so I’m on the other side of the city, which means the barbers’ shops in proximity [...]
So I had lunch at the Central Markets today. I’d been drinking a lot of water at work though after having a few beers last night and feeling strangely hungover today, despite the “few” only numbering three (weird, I go for a session at the pub and wake up feeling nothing worse than a little [...]
Now that I’m in another job that actually requires me to do anything other than a) sit around waiting for my supervisor to give me something to do, or b) figure out what I want to take photos of this week, or c) drink coffee and surf the net and wait for something to land [...]
I love that I can post to my blog from on the train, or anywhere I might happen to be with my phone and half decent reception. When you throw alcohol into the mix however, it may not be such a good idea to give an idiot like me unfettered access to the realms of [...]
While I mostly blog just for myself, it sometimes would be nice to have a few more readers. There are times, such as a few minutes from now, when I’d like to be able to ask a group of people something so it would be good to have a decent sample size. What’s been on [...]
