Phew – another week passed in the cut and thrust of NZ Government, I just wish the people running this country would make up their minds. They say that 24 hours in politics is a long time but it seems like eternity to me.
It’s been one u-turn after another this week making my worklife [...]

At last I’ve got into a really interesting project that has consumed my time at work this week. It beats the usual round of pointless meetings and corporate strife to work as part of project team on a worthy cause. Attention this week has been on a campaign to address NZ’s darkest secret – family [...]

As another week passes I can’t help reflect on where the week has gone. Maybe it’s age but time just seems to flash past at a rate of knots.
At least I’ve had the amusement of watching those people who have just returned to work coping with the brain fog that decends causing your memory [...]

Over the years I’ve learned that restarting work after a holiday on a Monday is definitely a bad idea. The thought of a full working week stretching a head when you can barely remember the name of the person who shares your desk pod is not a good space to be in.
This week MT and [...]

Although maths is not my strong point there is a reason for me rapidly increasing the countdown to being a domestic executive to only 38 weeks. This is because I now have two glorious weeks away from the office – yeh….!
By about Tuesday this week I started to seize up and brain function was [...]

I could make lots of excuses about why I’ve not been blogging but best to be truthful and say things are a bit normal – in other words not very interesting to my average reader.
The festive break won’t come soon enough – I’m tired and need a rest. This executive-domestic is all worn out. Perhaps [...]

The fact that we’ve now exchanged contracts on the land on Kaitoke Loop Road and told the vendor of the other land to take a hike the whole domestic executive thing is becoming more real. Put together with another week passing in a flash I can see that time is going to motor on [...]

Many people think that I’ll not stay the domestic executive course and do a u-turn on my plans and stay in full time work. After a week like I’ve had I can continue to plead my case that I’ve had it will full time corporate executive responsibilities.
There was no single big event that made [...]

Friday night drinks are a bit Wellington thing and this week it was particularly satisfying to be notified by MT over a round of drinks that it was only 20 more working days till Christmas. This news seemed to lighten the mood that was already pretty high because the sun had come out and it [...]

Life has been so busy I’d forgotten to recognise my countdown to being a domestic executive. Don’t worry I’m not weakening my resolve and I’m bouncing back to remind myself that it’s almost time to be putting together the new plan for 2007.
I’m now officially over my honeymoon period as a newby at work. [...]
