Okay, so now that it's midday on the week's middle day, I'm officially on the last half week of my employment at the agency. This has been a very challenging two years, and has forced me to do a lot of growing up. I've been whining about this place for ages now, but while I sit here at my desk and look around, there are a couple of people I'm really going to miss.

Jayne. Trusting, loving, loyal, mature. Jayne's been reliable and a good listener. She wants to become a ski instructor! I hope she achieves her dream.

Claire. My right hand. Brilliant young engineer. I hope she'll go far.

I start with the new adventure in a fortnight. I'm being given the opportunity to influence the way internet policy is set here in Australia, and hopefully I won't suck too much. The opportunity to do good is awesome.


Had dinner last night at Sneff's new restaurant in Surry Hills -- had a blast. He's such a cool chef. Drinkies tonight with the agency crew. Then home tomorrow morning, after a big sleep...
