Back to the grind

Why we love WiFi

My son is in the swimming pool, my daughter is having lunch, my wife is revising next to me, and I have the glorious blue South China Sea in front of me. I'm 200 kilometres from home, and despite the fact that it's school holidays, there aren't many people around. Oh, and they have WiFi. At the pool. Life is grand. Pictures coming soon.

And then he said goodbye

As of 5.31 yesterday afternoon, I am officially unemployed. The good points : 1. I am the boss of me. 2. No tie, belts or shoes. 3. I can manage my own time - my most productive hours won't have to be spent in traffic or stuck in meetings. 4. See number 3; no more meetings. 5. I can eat healthier food. The bad points : 1. No steady paycheck. 2. There's a kitten that keeps sitting on my iBook. 3. Lots of distractions (laundry, the fridge, cleaning up the kids' mess). 4. There are no off days, or sick leaves, or public holidays.
