(but it’s ok if noone reads your blog anyways)
my extended family are annoyed because i don’t spend time with them, but the last few times i’ve spent time with them i may as well not have been there. except for the random advice i get about a. my career failures b. my lack of income […]
With under 100 days to go until the baby is born, I think we are almost ready mentally. (By we, I mean me). I’m looking forward to meeting this little baby. I have had a few dreams about her and I was happy to be able to hold her and see her. In the dream […]
Don’t let any of the work for the dole participants see you when you have the thousand yard stare. It’s all over, rover, if they figure out YOU. HAVE. NO. CLUE. and only flimsy qualifications.
I told the people at the TV station today about the baby and about how I would like two weeks “paternity” […]
After the shift that would not end on Friday I went and had a drink with the comrades at Paddy’s Bar at Trades Hall. Because the office is about five doors down from the archives room it wasn’t really that much of an effort. And the beer is cheap, comrades.
I was talking to one of […]
It was really hot today. I burst into flames at about 3pm. It was really hot (not in a hot=sexy kind of way).
Rumours of my death have been somewhat exaggerated.
Yesterday was a very long day in the archive room. I have two competing interests:
1. getting the archiving work done

You would think I could manage the work for the dole crew to do the archiving work, and this is the intention […]
i just solved the problem of not having enough time and whingeing about work. i told myself: get over it.
today we had a somewhat strange concept family picnic where the guest of honour hasn’t been born yet. no muffins for anyone who hasn’t been born yet.
anyways, it was quite nice. the twinkle will have uncles […]
For the past three weeks I have been working full-time, pretty much 9-5. Monday to Wednesday I work from home for a “social justice technology non-profit organisation” updating their database, writing a bit of content, making phone calls. On Thursday and Friday I work in at Trades Hall in the archive room of the community […]
For Christmas Eilis’ mum gave me a muffin recipe book. This recipe book has over 150 different muffins. It’s pretty amazing. As we all know muffins are the food of the gods.
So far I’ve cooked: self-saucing chocolate muffins, ginger and lemon muffins, toffee muffins (Eilis’ dad: “there’s glass in my muffin!” me: “if you don’t […]
This morning I realised that we only have 105 days (or thereabouts) left to get ready for the baby.
And the crib is in bits all over the garage, half-painted. And we still haven’t done a tour of the hospital. And we don’t know anything about babies.
And then I stopped worrying and looked at crap on […]
