Blogger has changed it’s set up again and I must say it is no improvement! I can always use my Tumblr blog if I don’t get use to it. I think it is just a ploy to get you to change your browser to Google Chrome because they claim some parts of the blog won’t work properly on my current settings. I will see how it goes.
Another rainy day here in Canberra but by now I suppose we should be use to it. I like the rain but the incredible amount of precipitation we have had over the last two years is starting to try my patience. And now we have a Canberra winter to look forward to! A few days of good Autumn weather before temperatures really tail off would be nice.
The La Nina system which supposedly has been causing the wild weather over the continent in the recent past is moving off so there may be some respite and a return to more moderate and one might say “normal” weather patterns. That being said I did hear over the weekend that we are due for another drenching in April so don’t put the gumboots away just yet!
It’s been a quiet week for me personally so far, just work moving on as normal. It hasn’t seemed to be so bad this week. Time has passed reasonbly quickly and the “annoyance factor” provided by the powers that be has been low.
Linda read my blog on Sunday evening. She went right back through eighteen or so posts that she hadn’t seen and that kept her busy for a while. She claims she learns more about me and what I’m up to from my blog than she does from talking to me! Perhaps that is right. It does seem easier to spew on the blog than it is in real time, face to face. I think I worry that if I verbalise what I am trying to say those who I talk to will get sick of me and regard it as whinging. Or perhaps I am just one of those typical laconic Australian males who are incapable of talking about themselves or what they think and feel. I don’t know. Take me as I am.
One thing she did note after catching up on the aforementioned posts were my remarks about my place of employment. She claimed she had never met anyone who hated their job as much as I do! I had never thought about it being as bad as that. I was simply making observations and I suppose the frustration I feel comes flooding out once I get on a role. I do need to tone it down. Writing for myself I don’t have any understanding on how the blog is appearing to others. Everyone interprets things in their own way and I write too much about work and I will try to avoid the downside of the place from now on.
That is about all there is to say for today. A very average, ordinary week here in suburban Canberra. Just going through the motions like everyone else until we reach the weekend and try to fashion some sort of life out of those two wonderful days off.
One last thing I would like to say for today. I have had a record breaking month for page views and this post should take me through the 3oo mark for the first time. I don’t know if anyone actually reads it or just decide that it is nonesense and move on quickly but I thank everyone who has taken the time to scroll through a little corner of my life here on Blogger.
All my life I’ve been a bit of a quitter, starting things and never finishing them, a bit of a Gemini trait apparently. However my blog has kept me interested in something for the first time and I am quite dedicated to it so I thank anyone who has come along for ride with me for sticking it out and taking the time to read it. So for now I will sign off from a very wet and grey Canberra and I hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
