Hmmm…
…this is getting a lot more LiveJournal-y than I like, but I haven’t had a chance to find out what’s going on the world since I left home yesterday.
So, updates:
- My luggage was found, and was indeed waiting for me at the castle when I finally closed my workday at 10PM EST last night. (19 hours after the workday started).
- Things seem to be going well with the new bosses. If I end up staying at this company, things might actually work out ok. Who knows.
- Anybody have any opinions on whether or not it might be fun to move my family to Australia for six months, or a year, if the company were paying? (If it matters, it would probably be Richmond or Mooroolbark.) I’m not seriously considering it, but apparently it is an option.
- It’s amazing how much better a man can feel at the end of a long day if he’s had two pints of vitamin G, and he knows he has a clean pair of underwear for the next day.
- While I had no time to find out what’s happening in the world, I did manage to pick up Trial of Flowers and The Witling. If I ever get a free moment, I might even start reading them.
Today I have been scheduled in meetings from 9AM until 9PM, and the new bosses want to go out for drinks with just me after that. Hmmm.
Oh, and we might have to go on a road trip to New York on Thursday.

I would move to Australia for a year if the company was paying.

It’s looking like we could do that at the drop of a hat, if we wanted to.
We’d be living near Melbourne.
My biggest concern would be who would look after our house while we were away.

I would love to go to Australia for an extended period. Sounds like Trish is possibly interested, and Sarah is probably not tied down to anything yet. Your friends will still be here when you get back. Why not rent a storage unit, pack away your books and other valuables, then rent out, sell or have someone check on the house periodically and just go?
I know, it is much easier to write than to actually do…

“Melbourne has thrice shared top position in a survey by The Economist of The World’s Most Livable Cities on the basis of its cultural attributes, climate, cost of living, and social conditions such as crime rates and health care, in 2002, 2004 and 2005.”

Yes, but what about Sarah picking up that accent at this impressionable age?
