Cut short

Well work has rung and asked me to take 3 days out of my holidays to work on a new bid. So I am leaving tonight (Sunday) and will be back Tuesday night. I will then have to spend some of thursday working on finalising the detail of the bid.

It is nice that this group believes that they cannot do this without me, and they have stated that my work location will only get this work IF I lead the development team. However I don’t appreciate that they expect me to drop everything for them every time. As a friend of mine said I have to learn to say NO. 🙂

One good thing, I am planning to use this to negotiate for a promotion out of this. Wish me luck.:razz:

Holiday Update

Well with the end of school year happening hear, I have been very busy doing parental things.

Swimming carnivals, String Concerts, Choir recitals and school parades all fun stuff that I normally don’t get time to be involved in.

Along with that I have been taking photo’s with reckless abandon (see the sidebar).

“Forced” Holiday’s

Well I am going on about 2 weeks leave starting… Thursday. It was that or sit at work doing nothing or travel away from home again.

So leave it is. Planning a few things while off, photography, kids events, new style for site, etc.

So keep your eye’s open for changes :mrgreen:

First few days!

Ok so I took on the challenge to write a novel in a month. Well it is now 4 days in, and I have a staggering….. 500 words!!

At this rate I will have 3,750 words by the end of the month! Wait.. that is not enough, by about 46,000 words short.

Time to pick up the pace, stop playing computer games, ignore my visitors and saying NO to my boss when he say’s “Do you want to fly interstate for a daytrip, you will only be working 15 hours or so!”.

Wish me luck.

The blond stereotype

Now I know I shouldn’t subscribe to the classic blond stereotype. And I have enough intelligent and sensible blond friends, to know that not all blonds are dumb. But really, my neighbour should be shot for adding to the blond stupid name.

Picture this. Blond is 35 weeks pregnant (plus carrying a fairly young hernia scar). Blond see’s 300L fridge on the footpath. Blond waits until husband is in bed, and then moves said fridge into garage while hubby is sleeping.

Now am I the only one who’s see’s the folly in this? 😆
