Let's be honest the boy is good. Talked about needing to get the hustle on so we can nab a midnight xbox birth on Monday - and sha-zam tonight Rob tells me he/we are are first on the list for a Parramatta Toys R Us midnight Xbox! You gotta love the man.

Now if he could just do something about the humid weather then I would be a very happy man.

hmmm - 20 days to go until XDay! And the best part is we get a free bag to put it in - oh yeah! [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Power is just about back on for most of the people I know. Although the OPTUS network is still down. Rob is over here getting a renewed fix of internet surfing and having a phone that works [to talk to his lady friends]. As for me well, work is still tough although every one is slowly settling in. The new head teacher seems to be trying to get everything changed over in one go. Which is putting a lot of pressure on us all - I still feel a bit overwhelmed - but more wondering what my role at work will become and whether I will still get to be involved in any decisons that go on and more importantly get to face new challenges and learn new stuff.

Seems like we may go Win 2000 Server - the new guy is doing his MCSE on the internet - so I guess I will get to learn something about Win2000. I just want a server which is easy to set up and then forget and which both macs and wintel boxes will talk to happily. But then again, maybe I am asking too much.

I don't mind teaching maths again and although I can hardly believe it I am enjoying having Year 7!!! They seem to be a good class and keen to work. We'll wait and see but I think they will keep on being good to work with. Year 9 are Year 9, I just to be careful not to let myself be taken off the track by them.

Police at school today after some delightful student sent us nasty email. They signed up with a lovely email address but used their own name! Strange. True, it maybe someone else using the name, so hopefully the police can follow up the email headers and check with the service provider who it came from to confirm the sender. Had some pretty nasty stuff in it. Dunno why people think that they could send this stuff and not have us do anything. It's actually against the law in Australia to send threats by email so they opened up a lot mroe than they expected I think. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

In a world that has so little I am so ashamed to be so happy that we have power back after some shocking storms on Saturday night - I mean, what, 30hours without power and we were lamenting the loss. Some people have no power, clean water, security, food nothing. Well I am happy and very appreciative to have power back on. /cam2 shows cable back up and running - after a weekend without the net I was getting withdrawals. XBOX arrives in Australia in less than a month and I am looking forward to that.

Feeling a bit disconnected from things at the moment - not sure why. Steve came home after church and after we had sat and talked about no power and 4/5 days before it returns he said, hey let's go shopping! and then I heard the fridge kick in. Such little things as these have helped to lift my spirits a bit. Well Kylie is around and laughing so I am off to heat up some hot cross buns and put the kettle on - yeah! love those integral energy workers. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]
