    Just Goin Good

    Well, the last couple of weeks have been pretty good. I've started my weight watchers and lost 4.9kg in the first two weeks.

    This of course means that I am no longer drinking alcohol like a pirate, which fortunately hasn’t been that hard to do since I no longer work for the finance department. Those people where possibly the biggest group of alcoholics I've ever worked for, and based on how badly I was treated, I guess "the demon drink" was just one way nice folk coped with some (not all) of the most unpleasant, vindictive and clueless managers to walk the face of the earth.

    We also caught up with some friends over the last few weeks and attempted a couple of bike rides, which in the end didn’t really work out as well as I'd hoped in the exercise department. However, the little ones had a great time, just not that much of it riding our bikes.

    My new project manager at work William was kind enough to give Lachlan a BMX which had apparently had been left by an old flat mate and he no longer wanted. He even brought it round to my place, how nice is that. We are now in the process of trying to teach Lachlan how to ride without training wheels, he is getting there, but its just going to take a lot of practice and patience.

    Work has been good also. Im finally working somewhere where Im not treated like a dumb blonde and am utilising my software development skills at more or less the correct level. I havent really got into it yet, still kinda just absorbing and bug fixing at present but I will unleash the inner geekette soon me thinks. I just hope I dont scare anyone. :-)
