Hello world!
It's Thursday March 12 2009 and the sun has come out through the clouds in this part of the world (Sydney, Australia). A nice autumnal day.
My first post will be short and to the point. I feel a bit silly, a bit nervous and a bit hopeful - probably not a bad mix. My hope is that this blog of mine will continue, and that it will evolve over time into an ongoing conversation. Initially I'll just be talking to myself mainly, but I'm used to that. Eventually, some of you good people out there might start reading it and responding. I think this will be fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this evolves over time.
I can't give you a theme yet - it's too early. I suspect that my writings will ramble over quite a bit of territory, both personal and impersonal. I also suspect that I will get better at this with practice.
Here's a snapshot of where I feel I am right now: married, two teenage sons, one mortgage and one cat (the cat has to live at my brother-in-law's place for the time being). I'm unemployed - again - and struggling to find some work which has any meaning for me. Feeding the mortgage is one of my prime concerns. The business which I owned and operated for 15 years closed down about 3 years ago now. I have a lovely family and should feel relatively fortunate, but I don't. All of us are reasonably healthy, with no major incidents.
I'll probably talk about my work experiences over the past few years, since earning money seems to have become the focus of my life of late, but it won't be all serious and sad.
I do have a rather well-developed, dry sense of humour, and I'm hoping that after an initial vomit of "bad work experience" posts, that some of my unique craziness and irreverence will come to the fore. Hang in there, people.
