A long and hard working day, but rewarded with seeing a happy and relieved smile and a heartfelt hug. I can’t think of a better sense of having done something good for another.
A day to reflect…

Over today I’ve spent several hours chatting to different people about life and living. I’ve remembered how lucky I am to be alive AND happy. Obviously happiness is still a commodity in short supply.
I guess these days I sort have gotten into the habit of taking the fact I’m happy most of the time for granted. In fact it’s been nearly a year since my last bout of deep depression.
Bouts of depression aside though, I’ve been happy for the best part of 20 years now, and there’s no doubt that’s something to be grateful for, and to show thanks in life where ever I can. Every little bit of good I do in the world is a way of showing my gratitude for what was shown to me in the first place and has kept me going since.
Thanks to all those that gave for me, taught me to give, and I hope I do as well for others.

Well there are times I just can’t help myself and just cave in to the instant gratification and lack of thought. After all my ranting and concern about the release of Lord of the Rings on Blue-Ray, what did I do? I walked straight into JB today and walked out with a copy of each of the movies in the trilogy…

Mmm…
Return to Forever -> Live at Montreux [2008]
Takes me back…King Crimson to come after, so a bit of time travel it is for me tonight.
Thanks Steve!

Fun night, bit of “hanging” around with “encouragement” by an old friend, although left to sleep alone and no breakfast duet… 🙁
Still worked off the week’s work angst 🙂 And it rained last night and this morning, so a not too shabby start to a weekend.
Did manage a quick slip into JB HiFi early last night before the show and picked up “9” on Blue-Ray. Should enjoy that tonight I think.
Friday, not any other day…

Seriously can’t wait for work to be over today. Runes are clear, so I’ve sent the word out, and looking forward to some dining, “de-stressing” and curling up in bed with someone tonight and breakfast in the morning.
Thursday night ramblings…

For a short week it’s been a very very LONG week! Can’t wait for 17:00 tomorrow.
This week i’ve been filling two roles, and I’ve been dragged into more work politics than I’d like: I can’t wait to go back to being a “pleb” on the ground. I’m much happier forgetting the politics and getting back on the ground helping get REAL work done!
Also this week I’ve started an exercise (or perhaps I REALLY mean exOrcise) regime. My last threesome left me feeling somewhat less than 100% up to par so I’ve found the motivation to try and regain my fitness level of 10 years ago. If nothing else at the moment it’s helping me sleep better at night. Seems Furbag is having trouble waking me up last few nights.
Given that tomorrow is Friday, I may go for a quick trip to check out JB Hifi and see if LoRT Blue-Ray is there yet, given it was released on the 6th just gone. I’m still dubious about the worth given the lack lustre reviews, but somehow I don’t think I’ll be able to help myself…

It seems that my wait for “Lord of the Rings” movie on Blue-Ray is going to have to wait longer, very disenchanting review for the April Release. Not only is it less than “Reference Quality”, but it’s ONLY the Theatrical Releases and no new extras. Feeling very disappointed, as I WAS going to buy this the day I could get my hands on it. Now I’ll only be renting it first and MAYBE buying it if I can find it cheap!
Nice way to finish a work week…

Left work this morning at 06:30 for a drive to SA Border and back to do 2 jobs! Amazing Fog all the way this morning, with only a break for 1km each side of Hamilton. Neither job had any surprises which was absolutely amazing considering the drive.
Back home by 14:30 SO pretty much a perfect work day. Some days are just plain EXCELLENT!
And I am having Tuesday as an ADO so get an extra day off!!
