Sometimes life is definitely too short for the stuff that gets shovelled your way at work. Take this for example:
"Opportunity for profit, or, opportunity for loss cannot be calculated in NPV. If a proactive process is put in place but has not been invoked, no savings can be claimed from the improvement process not yet invoked."
I have 48 slides of stuff like that...

Not my intention. I don't equate my mom with "old." She's the coolest mom I know. She goes to concerts and stuff with me, she gets along with my friends at parties and so forth. So it was not an insult at all. I just know she likes that kind of music as well. =P

Also, of the music suggestions you've made, I've listened to and liked most of them so far. =)

What a fantastic weekend. I'm sure I could come on here and rant about all sorts of issues to do with money and work. But sometimes life is just really good. My wife and I went with a couple of friends to see Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' at the theatre on Saturday. And it was FANTASTIC. Patrick (make it so) Stewart, and Ian 'a...

This is my edited journal from my trip to Scotland last weekend. My apologies for the quality of the photos - the poor weather was entirely to blame. The quality of the writing is all my fault, however!)

oh wow sounds like an amazing trip!
cayleigh:
haha thanks! I think I might do a video blog today. I was talking to someone yesterday who didn't think I look like I have a twang and lots of people who meet me online and then hear me talk are never expecting it so I thought it would be neat for you guys to hear me. I just have to get motivated to do my hair and stuff early enough before work.

So. Back to the good news. I'm off to Northern Scotland finally on Friday morning. It'll be a completely different trip to the usual winter outing. The past few years have involved full-on winter conditions, narrow ridges, whiteouts and so on. But this time it's just about the wilderness. Hiking off over a couple of mountains, and camping out by a remote loch.
I will...

Ever had one of those weeks?
I'd love to be writing about lots of positive stuff, like fun days out or surprising discoveries. But sometimes work just grinds you down completely. First I return from a great little holiday with my daughter to find my laptop needs a complete rebuild. Plus my Palm has stopped functioning. My daughter put an After Eight mint in my...

Well, as Burns rightly said, 'The best laid plans o' mice an' men gang aft agley'.
Laid low with a bad cold, Scotland has been postponed for a couple of weeks. Still, it gives me more time to prepare, and a change of itinerary beckons. 470 miles of hard driving will land me in Inverpolly in the far north of Scotland, at the same latitude...

Well, I guess I have to start somewhere!
My little girl and I spent a fantastic few days in the Scottish Highlands last week, packing so much into our few days there. Two hours of skiing lessons, and I was soon being burned off by a seven year old. Honestly. Once she executed this killer carve to the right at the base of the run,...
