Changes ..
I did a bit of upgrading of my Wordpress tonight. Decided to look for a slightly different theme, and keeping in with my favourite colour.. I have stuck with red! But it could change. As I get the hang of the templating system.. I may change templates for special times of year.. Valentines day would be in black, St Pat’s day would be in Green, with beer everywhere, Easter would feature cute bunnies or some gruesome crucifixion theme. Not sure if I spelt that right.
I’m happy at the moment with work. I am permanently with my new team leader, and whilst I view the appointment with a bit of trepidation, I am taking advantage of all the opportunities thrown at me. Not sure where work are going to go with me as alot of my original workmates have left to do other things and become team leaders or off in other depts. I wonder what I am doing by sitting and staying put.
On the plus side, I am really on the pathway to savings heaven. Picking up doubletime for Thursday is hearing the cash registers ka-ching loudly. I will probably buy my ticket to the UK in two weeks time. However I have the $$ now to do it. I just want more of a savings buffer.
The people below me seem to have an alarm clock that goes off at 2am in the mornings. I am waiting for tonight. If it goes off again at 2am I may lodge a complaint against them. I’ve complained alot since I moved in. I am on of *those* neighbours I am sure. I used to hate those type of people. I lived next to some when I was in a share house in Vic Park.
We had this huge party on a Saturday night, and as we were winding down, getting drunk/stoned (depending on your income) and the cops were called as we were playing through the minds eye on a project pointed at the wall. Damn that was an awesome show. The cops turned up and we turned it down and continued to watch the wall and all the pretty colours.
The neighbours told me off the next day, and to be honest, I didn’t care. Lucky for me, I didn’t live in a villa governed by strata rules! Perhaps I should lighten up and not complain… Maybe. I’ll think about it. I’m getting old and need mah sleep.
And how annoying are blog spammers? I’ve been copping stacks of emails from pharmaceutical spammers telling me they like my blog and please allow their comments. I don’t think it’s at epidemic proportions yet, but jeeze. Talk about clogging up my inbox.

Wow - a striking new look. Why black for Valentine’s Day? Sounds a bit morbid. Obvoiously not chucking your job in to spend more time overseas to find yourself. What if you find a job you’d like to do and want to stay longer? Oh, silly me - renting. Bit difficult to organise after the fact.

Your themes sounds a little morbid, must be why i hope to get to see a few of them!
As far as blog spammers go, depending on which version of wordpress goes, there are some good antispam plugins that stop their spamming arses in their tracks.

Hammy: I like being a bit weird on valentines day, and why not!:P
Greg: I’m thinking of being a little dramatic this year

How bout cute bunnies _and_ crucifixion? Don’t see why they’d be mutually exclusive
