I ams teh slack
Hey all,
Well, I know I've been slack, so I figured it was time to bring everyone up-to-date with the goings on in Sydney.
Tomorrow will be the start of my third week at work. Its all going pretty well so far; the people are great, the work is interesting, and there is a nice laid-back corporate culture about the place.
Home-life is going pretty well too - everyone seems to be able to coexist quite peacefully, and everyone is doing there share of the work :)
I got some more furniture this weekend - a nice big tallboy for the bedroom. Up until now, some of my clothes were still sitting in my suitcase, so its good to be able to finish unpacking all of my clothes (still have boxes of other stuff though).
I've been riding to work quite a bit - I've got a good route which is mostly quiet roads and biketracks, so its a pretty relaxing ride in.
This morning, I went mountain biking with a mate from work, and others, at the Blue Mountains, out near Woodford. We didnt get the whole ride we had planned done - there was a causeway that we thought may be flooded, but we got a good amount done, and found some really really sweet singletrack that went on for a good 20 minutes :D
This afternoon wasnt so much fun though. Poor old Rhia was sick, and I had to find a doctor that was open on sunday arvo's. Luckily, the Macquarie Centre (big shopping centre 15 min away) has a medical centre thats open till 6pm on Sundays, so we got her all sorted out.
Anyway, take care peoples, and hopefully I'll see some of you soon. Im coming back up for the weekend of the 2nd of April - am busy on the sat night, but will be free during the morning and day of saturday, and sunday morning/lunch time.
Later
Ken

2nd Day at work
Brain... turning to sludge..
Well, I wanted a challenging, interesting job, and i've sure got one.
So far, works going fairly well. Yesterday, I had my induction, complete
with complimentary Japanese lunch, and then spent the rest of the
afternoon meeting my team manager, and other people around the company.
Today, I've checked some stuff out of CVS, and am reading the
specification document to try and get my head around the project. Its big...
Still, I think that its going to be all good.
Jess and Charlie seem to be going well too, and Vicki is happy at her
new job, which is great, and Luc and Rhia seem to be going well also.
Anyway, the computer is prompting me to take a "micropause"
