Juggling act continues

26 October 2011

The juggling of two projects continues as we head to the end of the year. The work for the BDO team under Robert Skeffington marches on and I am making contributions as best as i can, helping the team.

The other project for Online has taken an interesting turn where i have been challenged to come up with a new solution (the previous solution wasn't acceptable to the CEO) to solve the problem without throwing any more money at it. I have thought of a few ways and will be interesting to work that through.

I am also going on leave at the end of November so i am looking forward to having that time off.

The rugby world cup just finished here in NZ and we are the proud champions. I was fortunate to share this tournament with my dad and we ended up going to all the All Black games, then watched them beat the Argentinians in the Quarter finals, the Aussies in the Semi and then the French in the final.
An amazing opportunity to be a part of history!!

Well done All Blacks!! So proud!

Been a while

5 October 2011

It has been a while since i last penned er typed my thoughts on here.
Two main reasons for that really: Workload and laziness.

I have been working on two projects for the last few months. Spending my time between the Business Development Office in Sydney (reporting into Robert Skeffington) and the other half, working in APN Online (reporting into Spencer Bailey)

These two projects are quite different from each other and i am not at liberty to discuss in detail about either of them so no more info on that front.
Safe to say that they are both very challenging in their own rights and deadline driven which is proving to be a handful.

On the social front, New Zealand is going crazy with the Rugby World Cup and it really is very festive here. The crunch time is upon us with the quarterfiinals slated for this weekend.

Dan Carter is now out of the tournament with a groin injury and the whole nation has suddenly been brought back down to earth to consider the unthinkable, "what if we DONT win the cup?"

I must banish these thoughts as quickly as i have had them!

Best of luck to all the other nations still in the running, may the best team win! *coughAllBlackscough*
