Well it seems ages. I did an update last week but I made the mistake of using Mozilla and I lost everything. I had copied it before it crashed but I’d neglected to paste it onto notebook or something and lost it anyway. It was a long entry and I couldn’t be bothered reposting and [...]

Roasting

By crikey, it’s hot today! I got way hotter at the auction today than I did at Big Day Out. I had long sleeved top on and hat and sunglasses and thought I’d covered the exposed bits with sunblock but discovered on my return that one side of my neck is bright red – dammit! [...]
Finally

Finally finished my report which is a great relief. Now I can relax for a while. Get some stuff done around the house.
Wondering if my brother will turn up tomorrow. He mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he might. There’s a smallholders’ auction on tomorrow which he expressed interest in going to.
Daughter is [...]
Auckland trains

Mood: Disgusted
Listening to: Celtic music
I have to have a bit of a moan about them. I was appalled. This is the biggest city in NZ – a major metropolis, and the rail transport service was third-world.
I took the train to BDO and back (with 5 teenagers).
1) No ticket office
2) The conductor was so busy turning [...]
Bugger the prepend!

I’ve had a hell of a time trying to access this damned site. I’ve had nothing but that bloody error message every time.
Well I’m back home and what a day! Stormy. I’ll have to catch tonight’s news to see how bad it’s been in some places. Very windy and nasty in Cambridge, milder as I [...]
So much to do, so little time!

It’s just road trip to Auckland, so why do I feel like it involves so much planning and stuff to remember? Things like camera and film and cellphones and chargers, my laptop, hats, jackets? (it may rain), wine, food, etc etc. I don’t remember feeling this uptight last year. Perhaps because I’m also trying to [...]
Hmm@the new boss
Posted in work on 13 January, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
The new boss is starting to irritate me. She’s all very nice, albeit a little wishy-washy. She hovers… She seems indecisive… She doesn’t seem to know what to do. Has she ever been a manager before? She’s also starting to make ridiculous suggestions. She seems to want to change our workflow which has worked fine [...]
Bollocks

My daughter had downloaded the times and lineups for the Big Day Out. It seems The Mars Volta is on at the same time as Iggy and the Stooges. Damn. 1) I wanted to see both, 2) I wanted my daughter to see an old legend like Iggy. But she will definitely go and see [...]
Mood: lethargic
Listening to: Cold PlayFinding difficult to get into this report-writing. I also need to do a bit of research but it’s all very tedious.Discovered a friend had a page on myspace, so I figured, what the hell, I’ll join up and found quite a few others I knew. Amazing. I even found my eldest daughter [...]
Back to the grind

Yeah, the routine begins again. January will whip by, then it’ll be Easter and we’re expressing surprise at the speed of the year passing..’July already?’ Christ, soon it’ll be.. ‘Merry Christmas!’. ‘Where the hell did the year go?’ ‘My god, 2007 already?’ Yup, I’ve foreseen 2006 already. Done.It was surprisingly busy at work today – [...]
