Cool - me own blog!

Well - today's a typical day really. Nothing serious going on (in my mind) but theres enough going on to sink the average frigate (or at least help the NZ Navy ones break down)

Lets see - there's the upcoming trip for work. Auckland, Prague, Virginia, Boston, Austin (Texas), Houston, Austin again... and home again... and to be honest the bit I'm looking forward is the home again. Round the world yippee... NOT

A few company sponsored nights out on the piss won't hurt of course. I have "Channel and Relationships" responsibilities - read "get 'em drunk - make sure they're happy... and work will pay the bill"). Should be good for a laugh on some days, and the Texas women are always lovely through beer goggles. Get 'em drunk and see what happens LOL... (no no no - I'm married - but it's fun to lead 'em on).

My wife asked last night if I was looking forward to it. Errr... no. I've done this 4, 5, 6 times before (probably more) and the prospect of sitting on a plane for 24 hours fills me with the same kind of thrill you get when you realise you've had about 5 too many prunes. Something's going to happen - it's going to be exciting... but it's not a GOOD exciting, and you're not sure how you could share it with anyone else.

Aaaa well - think of the duty free!

So that's going on. 10 days to lift off, and I don't give a rats butt (told ya I was spoiled)

OK, the other thing - we're selling a house. Hopefully going to make some good money on it (read 6 figure profit) and we have someone all lined up to buy it and ... the council decided to put a flood plain warning on the LIM putting everyone off. Jumped up pack of evil eyed little toadies.

Why not have a meeting about something useful and real... I mean the projection is based on Global Warming which (lets face it) isn't a nice thing, but is far from conclusive. So they knock about $30,000 off the value of the place all so their meetings can be compliant with something still fiercly debated in the scientific community.

Thank God they weren't in charge of Y2K (or were they - it might explain the over-reaction and fizzle that turned out to be!)

Anyway - yeah nothing going on today - nothing special anyway.

I might try to get a new back tire (or is it tyre... I can never remember) while in the US. I love the look they give me checking into the flight home when I plop a tire/tyre on the counter and ask them to check it in.

Mood today - feeling groovy. Got some last night so I'm mellow...
