What I did on a sunny Sunday morning

This morning was some of the most beautiful, glorious hammock weather I have seen in Canberra in months. It could possibly be the last such day until the end of winter (some time in September!).

How did I spend such a magnificent morning?

Reading this. Inside at the kitchen table, coffee in one hand, pencil in the other.

Job applications

12 job applications for some positions within my Division at work. I got sucked in to being on the selection panel because I didn't have any good reason to say no (much like jury duty, I guess). I gave my manager the opportunity to pull me out of this by saying that I could only do it pending his approval.

His response? "I guess we all have to be good citizens and do our corporate duty" (once again, much like jury duty).

Go corporate citizenry. Woo.

Sandman

Guess what arrived in the mail late last week?

Neil Gaiman's Absolute Sandman


*drool*

The photo doesn't even begin to do justice to the gorgeous quality of this massive (and very heavy) hardcover collection of the first 20 episodes of The Sandman, written by one of my favourite authors Neil Gaiman.

I haven't actually read it yet (or opened it beyond taking the photo). I want to be able to sit down and dedicate some time to this one.

Oooh, the anticipation...

First World Problem

My wrist is so tired today. I played so much squash last night that when I got home I couldn't double click my mouse....
One of my co-workers this afternoon, unwittingly describing to me a classic First World Problem.
