The 1000 Day Holiday

Well Ive got tickets to see moby. I wonder if he’ll think i look as much like him as some poeple think.

Well I guess I get to do the same.

I dont want to be misteaken for a skitzo groupie tho..

Newcastle wasnt too bad. The Crowne Plaza there is sweeeet. looks out over the port.

Off to Melbourne on Sunday.

Well next week I’m off to the great metropolis that is Newcastle.

I wonder if they have night time wine tasting tours?

Whos got the low down on what to do and where to go?

I could ask the hermit, however I don’t think we have the same interests.

Was up the coast when they went on sale and alas missed out.

Still, you dont actually have to go to the game for it to be a big weekend. And lee n Tan are coming down that weekend anyways.

Apparently I’m not alone:

Prepare for generation Y or suffer staff shortages

Organizations keen to retain IT staff better start preparing for Generation Y.

The next generation of workers are more interested in achieving a work/life balance, an environment for which the IT industry isn’t exactly famous.

Andrew Cross, NSW sales and delivery manager for ICT specialist recruiter Diversiti, said retaining Gen-Y employees challenge companies.

Defined as those born between 1980 and 1995, these new workers are less motivated by money than previous generations because their focus is on personal fulfillment.

“They work to live, and they expect to go straight into a role with a lot of responsibility, instead of expecting to first pay their dues and prove their loyalty,” Cross said.

Thanks again to the GPS. Im a convert if you’re driving alone.

Portsmouth population 24,000!

Lets see if I can go insane in a week.

Well during the flight over the states, I decided its as flat as a pancake! I even saw some crop circles.

Picked up the car. pulled out of the car lot onto the wrong side of the road. haha. been pretty good since tho.
GPS navigation took a while to get used to, got a few – please wait why downloading new route

Please remove your shoes, place your identifying fingers and cheesy grin (but no teeth) in our database and have a lovely day.

Everyone talks funny! Definately prefer the canadian accent.

Business class is good. Was asleep before takeoff, and actually thought we were still on the ground when I woke up. Noise cancelling headphones are beautiful – I now understand.

I’m in San Francisco awaiting my Boston connection. The red carpet club aint that exciting. Not even free internet.

Off to Boston tomorrow- yay for Business/First Class

Makes for a change rfrom quality places like I spent today! – urgh Canberra
