I’ve been feeling a bit disgruntled about the work-related blog lately. Only three out of seven of us post regularly. Originally there were five of us then we opened it up to more people to get more posts. But the result is not more posts at all. One of the new people has taken over [...]

The Trivia night was not the highlight of the month. Funny how when you look forward to something it ends up being disappointing. I didn’t like the obscure questions and didn’t like the “money or the bag” game in between question rounds – waste of time, I thought. We didn’t get enough time to work [...]
There is a Sun!

It’s true! I saw it in the weekend. Three glorious days of warm sun – bliss!
I headed down to Wellington on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised to walk out of the apartment building and NOT FEEL COLD!!! I was momentarily shocked and after hesitating at the doorway, proceeded to park the car where it [...]
The work environment
Posted in work on 20 October, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I often wonder if there exists a positive workplace even if you enjoy your work because, as we know, you can’t account for other people.
I’m often amazed at the way people treat each other with such unkindness. There is a lack of tolerance of others’ foibles and differences which displays itself in bitching and moaning [...]
Another Monday

As you can see I didn’t get around to categorising the uncategorised posts. I spent the weekend getting the flat tyre fixed, visiting the doctor, washing the car, trying to organise some of the material in my family history files and scanning and touching up more photos I found. I want the files fairly well [...]
Weekends are never long enough

Daughter wanted me to go to Wellington to pick them up after having been in Blenheim for the week. No, I said. I have far too much to do – haven’t even done half of what I intended and it’s now Sunday afternoon which will pass rapidly.
I’m getting back into my family history research and [...]
WordPress hassles

Can anyone tell me how to do columns in a blog post? I lined up a column as best I could and it looked all good in the editing box but after publishing it it’s all over the place! AND I got the varying font sizes again too! It’s so frustrating. The visual box should [...]
April already

Last month went quickly.
It felt very weird to finish up at my last workplace. I miss some of the people (but not the culture). I don’t regret working there. It just wasn’t challenging enough and the pay was pitiful.
Work at the new place is fine. Learning new stuff and getting on with it. There’s plenty to [...]
Finally a weekend at home
Posted in interests, music, work, tagged belly dancing, New Plymouth, WOMAD on 8 March, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For the past two rainy weekends I’ve been away from home – on the Saturdays I was either in Wellington or Masterton and both Sundays I had belly dancing performances – one at the Esplanade and the second at an old people’s home. Both went reasonably well (well, others said very well but I made [...]
All official

Well, it’s all official now. I got the offer in the post so I could actually believe it. Sent off the acceptance and received more forms and paperwork to fill out and deal with on my first day which is in just over a week. Quite hard to believe still but I had not intended [...]
