Moving right along.......

Isn't it amazing how your state of mind has the ability to warp your perception of time?  I often hear people cite that old adage "Time flies when you're having fun", but I always think to myself "Yep, but I bet you've never thought about what happens when you're not."  After trying to run a hobby shop in a small rural town for the last 3 years, I can tell you.  You know those fucked up dreams, where you're trying to catch (or run away from) something, but it feels like you're running through quicksand and you just can't seem to get there, no matter how hard you try?  Well, that's what it's like.  It's like I imagine trying to ride a pushbike through molasses would be, but without the entertainment factor.  Time seems to take on this horrible, boggy quality and drags along like it's got absolutely nothing better to do. 

However, I'm happy to say that I think the bog is drying up (and yes, I do realise that, for the small number of people who follow this blog, it's become a very negative place these days).  I've been offered the opportunity to go back to what I like to do best (computer programming), so I'm taking it.

Henceforth, I shall make the effort to post at least *some* positive entries between my rants.

Please wish me luck.  I have no idea whether I'll need it or not, but it can't hurt now can it? :-)

Career changes

Well....it's amazing what happens when I don't drop in here for a while. Since my last post, I've managed to move house, quit my job and bought a local business! That's right folks....I no longer work for the Federal Government! It's a long story, but to provide a very brief summary of the reasons why, I got sick of working for wankers. Clueless nobs the lot of them, so I decided it was time for a change. So what did I do? I bought a hobby shop called Bundaberg Hobbyworld and I'm having a ball :-) I'm still trying to get the website domain transferred into my name, but the URL is HERE.

I moved house because the neighbourhood had turned to crap. Redneck neighbours living on both sides and a bloody cane train and major road being built right behind my back fence. The noise was ridiculous. So, now I'm living by the seaside where all I can hear at night is the waves and the crickets. Noice :-)

Moving house.

I've moved! I finally got to move to Bundaberg, which puts me nice and close to Elliott Heads for when I want to go for a kite :-) Not that I've been doing a lot of that.....the wind has been rubbish since I moved here :-(

Here's a tip....don't move over xmas/new year. What a drama. None of the regular moving companies work over that time, so we had to do it outselves. I've sworn that I'll never do it again. No matter how much it costs, I'll be paying a removalist next time. Multiple trips in my Patrol (towing a trailer) *with* Michelle following in her car, plus 2 trips in the pantec we hired to move the 'big' stuff. How the hell can you possibly fit that much stuff in a 4 bedroom house??

Anyway, it's done now. Now all I gotta do is work out a way to bring the south east winds back and I'll be set :-)
