Wild Wellington

Silly me has agreed to participate in the Wild Wellington MTB relay. Argh, must have been softened up by beer when I agreed to do this! Our team is Hell's Belles and Holyspokes (named in honour of illustrious team captain and motivator!) - should be a good name for dressups. Ten days to go and me not having sat on a bicycle for in excess of 2 years... and on lovely flat Adelaide bitumen at that! Will have to borrow a bike and remind myself what one is. It's funny but I know far more about a car than I do about a bicycle!

Personality profile.... apparently....

Did one of those silly 5min quizes that promise to tell you what job best suits you. My results:

Professional: Sales Executive; Sales & Marketing Manager; General Manager; Politician; Distribution Manager; Doctor; Management Consultant; Recuitment Manager

Skilled: Recruiter; Professional Sportsperson; Political Advisor

...can you really see me as a polly? A professionaly sportsperson? HA I wish! I dunno about the sales/marketing things either... I'm far too honest to be successful! Nice for them to throw Dr in there too!

Reminds me: should re-read my psychometric test I did a couple years ago, see if any of it rings true now I've been in the job a while....

One word- laksa!

Yum burning hotness! :)

Fly-by-night

Thinking of going to Brisbane on the 8th Nov for a friend's wedding. And I just got back from my Hobart trip, got itchy feet again! Originally thought it would be too expensive, but flights aren't too bad. Be good to get back and see the family for a bit too. So many things to organise...

we get around, we get around....

Some oddbod photos I have floating around.... the strange hotel across from my apartment in Hobart last week; the Wellington bus tunnel (must try and get a picture of it in the wet); and dragon from the wall of Midnight Espresso....

In transit

Mmm dim sim! Hoof & Gristle goodness, splashed with soy sauce! Awesome. :-)

Beer

Beer is good.

Slightly harried

Ah it is October and the weird sense of foreboding I felt on Monday is slowly coming to fruition. A lecture to be written, an annual review to be arranged, and possibly travel overseas? Just to name a few. Ah stress. You would think I would have better time management, but maybe I just work better with that bitter edge of stress? Better than a caffeine hit. And here I am blogging of course, true procastination.

Good deed of the day: stopped my car and herded a dozen paradise ducklings off the road after being scatterd by the postie's bike.
