Anniversary!
Two years ago today, aeliel and I got married :) Since then, we've moved out of the city, started postgrad study, bought a house, moved back to the city, and I've changed jobs. There has been a lot going on over the past couple of years, and I can't imagine having better company on the journey.
Mostly by accident, today is one of those rare moments when I can stop and take a breath. There are no meetings or interviews scheduled until tomorrow. I know that there are a thousand things that need doing at the moment, but I'm determined to enjoy the tiniest bit of solace here in the eye of the storm.
The next month has now officially become ridiculous. I'll be at four different conferences over the next four weeks: CCI Symposium in Melbourne this week; CPRF in Sydney next week; OZCHI in Brisbane the following week, and then back to Brisbane at the start of December for the CRC annual conference. While all that's happening, I'm still doing interviews for my project, and writing part of a report for the Virtual Safe project.
Two long-overdue painting commissions are on my desk. Next week, I get the 2010 corrections for the VCE Economics study guide that I do the layout for. The following week, book two (International Politics) arrives on my desk, and both books need to hit the printers by mid December. While that's happening, I have a poster and conference presentation to prepare, and a thesis chapter to write. This is officially the pointy end of the year.
