More travels

And before I was even over my travel fatigue from going to England, I had to go back to Brisbane.  Ok, I do get to fly business class, but it’s only a small consolation on a 4:30 hour flight – there’s still the stuck in the seat feeling that no matter what class of travel you can afford (perhaps a first class suite cabin…

Day trippin’

When I first started work, I spent my time behind computers, ferreting about with wires and cables and generally fixing them.  Then I was allowed to program them, losing myself in lines and lines of code and logic. This sometimes meant I didn’t see daylight, especially when it came to building the semi-supercomputing style systems, sometimes ending up almost inside them before they were…

Well, that really was most bizarre

Went in for my last day at work, mostly just to hand back my laptop and phone and stuff and it was very strange.  I had nothing to do, being my last day, so I just read the news and whathaveyou, chatted to a few people, went out for coffee, surfed so more.  And that took me to 10am. I called my boss –…

News

So, its been the few days I said I needed to wait – well, the thing I needed to wait for never came to pass, so I can spill. I have a new job. I know, its very cool.  I’ve been working for the same company for 2 1/2 years – they were the first place to give me a job when I moved…

work rest and play

It’s been a busy week after the pee-test drama. I’ve had lots of work to to for a really hard proposal, some interviews and generally me feeling like I need a weekend really badly.  Didn’t really get an Australia Day at all cos I was too busy with trying to create project plans and statements of work out of thin air. Anyway, blah blah….

epic pee fail.

So, I had the mother of all opportunities land on my lap last week and I thought it was too good to pass up without a good look. You’re wondering what the hell this has to do with pee? I’ll get to that. It’s not weird or creepy.  Oh, well, a little, but not because of anything I did, I hasten to add. I…

incommunicado

Well, not totally, but I’m seriously busy with work – I had to go to Sydney to work on a large bid for a new client, so I’m lacking free time at the moment Normal service will be resumed just as soon as I can. Which may be tomorrow if I can break the back of this job today 🙂

travel

I haven’t had to travel for my current job, which has been a bit of a blessing compared to the previous 12 years where I have travelled often and far and wide. Business travel is not as glam as it is cracked up to be and often involves just very long and unsociable hours, lost weekends and only seeing the inside of the airport,…

advanced mathematics

Maybe not advanced, but to my brain, any kind of math is pretty advanced. I had a big proposal to do last week and all over the weekend (as I might have mentioned once or twice in order to woo the sympathy vote, a tactic that appears to have been largely unsuccessful thus far) and a lot of it has been working out resourcing…

be right back..

I’m flat out busy trying to complete a rather large proposal at the moment – this has meant working every waking hour all week and now all weekend. Sucks to be me, huh? It’s due Monday 11:30am Perth time, so if its not totally done by Sunday night (24 hours to go) then we’re in for an all nighter too.  Not done one of…
