Welcome to the world!

A big congratulations to Dave and Cat, who are now the proud parents of baby Benjamin John. I hear that everything went swimmingly (and the lucky girl only had a ten-hour labour!)

Whee! More babies to cuddle!!! :D :D XD

Get a haircut and get a real job

Some people really enjoy staying at home full-time, and I will admit that it does have its perks.

But truth be told, I am really, *really* missing work. Not contributing to the household finances, not exercising my brain beyond singing along with Playschool and not keeping my library dork skillz sharp is all adding up to equal one big, fat inferiority complex. It's silly, but at the moment I feel really dumb, socially inept and generally cut off from everything. My work is a big part of who I am.

We're off to Brisbane tomorrow for a five-day trip, and I intend to poke my head around the door at my (former? future???) workplace to say hi. Hopefully I'll also find out whether or not my application to be reappointed has been accpeted. The suspense is killing me!
