Ok, so I've not quite got the majority of my photographs up for public scrutiny as yet, so what exactly have I been doing for the past three weeks since I got back from overseas.
To be honest, I really don't know. Sleeping, reading, playing games, emailing friends, visiting family, relaxing ... generally not much. At the same time, I was following up a lead for a new contract job and starting to chase up other job opportunities as although leading the lazy life of an unemployed git has been rather nice, still have to find some money to pay the bills and keep the roof over the head.
So, I will be once again getting off my virtual couch every day and doing the trek to Melbourne via the train from Geelong and "working for the man", or in this case, another big bank.
I am actually looking forward to it, as this position will mean working with some friends from a few years ago, so there will not be much of the awkwardness when you start at a new role, making new friends or who to go to lunch or coffee. All that small stuff that is part of a being the new guy at any company.
I've yet to decide what to do with this blog, but would be nice to keep writing on a semi-regular basis with my view from the virtual couch on life, the universe and everything.
Who knows, there could be another trip in the planning too!
So wish me luck as I return to the world of employment as of next Wednesday!
See you on the flip side.

Photographs (at last?!)
I have been back in Australia for exactly two weeks now and if you asked me what I have been doing for the past fourteen days my answer would be something along the lines of:
"Errrr, sleep, play xbox360 games, sleep, eat, see family, see friends, sleep, play games"
So really nothing as scintillating or interesting as my recent travels. Ho-hum, am I suffering perchance from the post-holiday blues? No, but I can tell you I'm freezing my frickin' proverbials off in this colder weather!
Anyway, back to the subject at hand, which is the oft-requested photographs. I've inflicted a few lengthy viewing sessions on some friends and family. But realising that even I am getting sick of wading through 2200 or so photographs (even though they are neatly arranged in relevant day/place folders) I am currently whittling them down to a short selection from each place/day and uploading them to my FaceBook and MySpace profiles and also to a Flickr page (linked to the title of this blog or click HERE .
The Flickr set is a little abridged from even the FB or MS albums, simply because I don't like splashing friends faces around on the world wide web without their permission. FB and MS I can restrict to just friends so that is okay (in my logic).
In other news I'm currently in the hunt for a job, with some positive rumblings on one front at least. So I may yet be back writing my vlinewhinger blog in the very near future!
Hopefully by the end of next week I will have most of the photographs that I intend to display publicly uploaded.
