Serving the Lord at SupperIn other news I am doing a development course at work to help work out what I want from my job and how to improve my personal life and so on. It sounded a bit dumb when I first ( Read more... )

I haven't been taking my allocated RDOs as they've accrued for the last few months, which I swore I would do this year... and have been getting majorly stressed out at work.

I cooked risotto for 25 tonight. But there was heaps left over cause people didn't like it enough to eat much (it did go a bit gloopy when reheated). My arm aches and aches from so much stirring. Also it was kind of expensive (three kilos of mushrooms!). But that is my turn on dinner roster done for a good while I think! I suspect my style of ( Read more... )

I have spent the last two days at Local Government Web Network '08. There were lots of good speakers and I got to meet some other people in similar roles to me. I was mystified as to why more people didn't come, especially from the Sydney councils. It was so cheap and valuable ( Read more... )
