I thought it was probably prudent to mention this minor detail... I resigned!
I handed in my notice the other day, about a week or so ago, and I finish up here on around the 9th of May, one day before my 3rd wedding anniversary.
There have been some really good opportunites as a result of working here, and I learnt pretty much everything I know here, but it's finally time to move on, into a position that has a bit more responsibility, and a bit more scope for new projects and what not.
So yeah, I start my new position on the 15th of May, after a few days as an unemployed bum...might have to hit the Bunbury circuit during that time and see my brother's new house etc, and maybe catch up with some of the kr3w! McWoot!

The new dude is from Sweden. His name is Ola, pronounced "Ooo-lah".
All I can think of is the battle cry of the Martians in the audio adaption of War of the Worlds.

It took me 4 hours to get home from work on Friday night. I live 20 minutes away from work. I left at 4, and got home just after 8. Awesome. Tue, Apr. 26th, 2005, 11:20 am

Melbourne was AWESOME! I have pics, but due to an overwhelming sense of laziness (and a feeling that no-one would give a toss), I don't think I'll upload them. Coolest holiday destination so far, much better than Bali, and a different planet to shitbox Kalbarri-the-worst-holiday-destination-i n-the-world.

http://jaggedjimmyj.blogspot.com/Went sailing with Russ the other day, and managed to run the flesh on my fingers down to the bone. Nasty. The quack put this stuff on my hands that they use in the burns ward at Princess Margaret. Grouse! The difference between sailing a Red Witch and an S80? It's like driving an automatic car down a 9 lane highway at 3:00am as opposed to driving a tank attached to a hang gliding rottweiler through peak hour traffic on an Autobahn with each of your individual nuts being tugged clean off with rusty wire. It's all good experience though. I learnt a few things to take back onto the other boat. Like "I'm not fit enough to sail an S80." Oh, the Witch was the auto.
For Al.  I couldn't find a vorpal sword. Fri, Jan. 7th, 2005, 09:30 am Where?
I feel I'm really out of touch with my friends, and my life from about 6 years ago. I was in Bunbury on Tuesday and Wednesday, and met up with a good friend. It seems that everyone is married, or divorced, or has 2 kids, or a drug problem, or is gay, or is leaving the country or all of the above.
When the hell did all this happen? I just seem to be getting way out of synch with everyone. I don't know where anyone lives, where they are, what they're doing...nothing. I read livejournals, and try and post on the few occasions that I have something relevant to say, but it's obviously not enough. Short of spam-rining everyone, I dunno.
Maybe that's what happens?
There's an idea for a New Years resolution. I'll try and harrass people, to try and keep up. It is hard though, with full time work, a family, trying to change out of this career. Then I get to the weekend, and there's often barely enough time for a sail on Sunday. To see my own brother is a 2 hour trip, and a 2 hour trip back, just to squeeze in a conversation with my brother, and my parents. But I guess everyone else is probably really busy as well, so I've got no excuse.
Gadzooks, the backups failed again. Time to start again. Trusty ol' Veritas.
We went sailing on Sunday, it blew like a mofo, which we have not had since last Summer season. A wise decision to change down a foresail size or two was welcome, given that we were pretty much sideways with 4 people on board... After gybing around the second mark we managed to lose one of the sheets on the traveller somehow, which resulted in Angry copping the full force of the boom in the face. He blacked out momentarily, and then proceeded to bleed all over the boat. When he came to, he started swooshing his blood over the deck, mumbling "jush clean t' blud up" and shit like that. Pretty funny now, but it was a bit of a worry then. He's ok now, just a bit of pain in the head. My old man copped it across the back of the head, and my father-in-law took the boom in the ear. At the time of the traveller breaking I was on the bow on the leeward side, sorting the spinnaker out. The gust that hit us, with my weight being on the wrong side caused me to rocket over the side. I managed to grab the shortstay just in time, and drag my sorry ass back on board. Most fucking awesome sail in ages. So...who's sailing to Rotto with me? ;) Did yoga last night...man, my muscles are caning now! *whimpers*

I'm probably due for an update. Since my last major post: 1. Bought my second house. 4 bedroom place, nice and big, same area I was in before. The house is so friggin awesome. What a SAGA trying to get in there thought! There were delays in every possible aspect, and we ended up settling a week late. BUT the important thing is that we got in there at all, so I'm not going to complain. Ok, so I will complain, but I SHOULDN'T complain. I'm so much more relaxed, my anxiety disorder is really under control. 2. I'm still married, so that's pretty good. My Dad however...well, that's a different story. His second wife left him, but I think he might have another bird on the go already, so that's cool. 3. We won the Winter season in sailing, on both Handicap and Championship. We came first in every race but one, in which we came second. Blair couldn't be arsed cleaning the bottom of the boat, and it cost us the race. Summer season starts soon. I'm hoping to do two things: a) Buy a Laser, and sail on my own with the Centreboards on Saturdays and b) Borrow another Red Witch, and sail against my current boat. I'll need crew for that lads, so dust off your eye patches. 4. I went to Bali a few months ago. That was basically my first time on a plane, and my first time out of the state/country/continent. (Yeah, so I'm cheating with the whole country/continent thing) 5. I've been learning the guitar for about 9 months or so now, so that's going well. That's pretty much all I can think of. I'm sure other stuff has happened, but I can't think of it at the moment. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....nope, that's it for now!
