As I go through some of the photos taken by friends and family, I am adding them to the gallery.

The professional ones will be back in a few weeks!

Off to our honeymoon, back in a week!

New albums & photos have been added in the gallery (a small selection that will grow in size)!

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, not the jobs, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

Today then I am resigning from the hurly burly of the company but I will take with me many memories of a role that was stimulating, challenging and usually far too relaxed.

I thank you for your kindness and your consideration.

I will leave you with a few of my favourite quotes that will hopefully help you get through your days:

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be. You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I hope that my achievements in life shall be these - that I will have fought for what was right and fair, that I will have risked for that which mattered, and that I will have given help to those who were in need that I will have left the earth a better place for what I’ve done and who I’ve been. ~C. Hoppe

The important thing is not to stop questioning. ~Albert Einstein

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

Rob gave me the Nikon D40 for my birthday, and I thought I would share my first images taken with you:

They are all in the Gallery Section!

Suggestions would be great!

Today, I have had the fortunate experience of this site here being mentioned on some very big International websites.

I want to thank you all for having a look!

On a geeky note - I have increased the bandwidth because I have had 8000 viewers in the past 2 and a half hours and America hasn’t even come home from work yet!

So come in, have a look around, take your time, search for anything and everything, and please leave me some feedback - I love hearing your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions.

And for those of you who don’t know, I LOVE MeltingMamas site - and I am giving her some linky love!

As an employee of an institution of substantial turnover, I have a few very basic expectations.

Chief among these is that my superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of myself and my co-workers during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time.

Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know about Unix, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of “cut and paste” for the hundredth time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others.

You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude.

In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle.

Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts.

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow.

One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never **** with your systems administrators, because they know what you do with all your free time.

Sincerely,

[Name Omitted]

I entered a logo competition this weekend, which is your fave?

I am feeling loads better today - energy levels up and have gotten loads of rest.

So, Rob sent my invititations off to the printers (RUSH job), and I thought I would share them with you (personal information has been removed).

Sooo…

I have recently updated my “About Me” page with a new bio - hope you like it.

And after Jen’s advice, changing some fonts on the Greenery theme to make it more legible.

Any other suggestions?
