For the last six months I’ve been working on an intranet re-design project. I don’t like calling it that, because it’s so much more… but to explain the ‘more’ would take me a day (and I don’t want to let on to our competitors what we’re upto!) Let’s just say, that next year, we’re going to own the Nielsen Norman Group Intranet Design Annual: Year’s Ten Best Intranets and the Intranet Innovation Awards. That’s how passionate I am about the work we’re doing. The bonus is that it’s challenging me. Taking me places...

Ever wonder what type of personality you are? You probably know, but are never too sure because you see many conflicting characteristics within yourself. I recently took the MBTI Personality Test, and was classified as a INFJ. Before the results were presented to us, we went through a series of scenarios to introduce us to MBTI, and were asked to classify ourselves. I initially pegged myself as a ISFJ. Apparently this is all subjective, and while I see myself as one thing, everyone else sees me as another. I’ll let you be the judge. If you know me… tell me which one of the two statements...

After the week of storms and coldness we’ve had, yesterday was a refreshingly beautiful day. Warm, sunny, blue skies… perfect for spending outdoors checking out the various markets in the city… specifically the Britomart farmers market and the Auckland City market. There were some delicious foods available and some interesting wares. Definitely not enough time or stomach space to try everything out. I got snap happy too, so I won’t bore you with my blather, and let the photos do the talking instead. [Show as...

I’ve mentioned Toby the Ginga Ninja cat before, but never shared photos. I think part of my problem is that I just haven’t felt like sharing much of my life lately. Still don’t, but Toby has spent the afternoon snoozing on my bed while I read, and being adorable, it seemed so wrong not to share his awesome cuteness! Things you need to know about Toby: 1. I did not choose the girly name. I hold no blame for that one. I do hold blame for the girly pink bell, thought it suited him. 2. He likes bringing home BIG BUGS, and eating them while you watch *crunch* 3. We have learned to wear...

Its weird, for the last 5 years, my life has been full of highs, and regardless of the lows that did happen I’ve always felt happy. There have been moments of despair (losing my job, struggling to find a job) but always, always I kept in control. Kept focused. Never lost track of who I was and the things I loved. When I woke up yesterday morning with a splitting migraine and yet still worrying about so many things, I knew something was very wrong. I am not happy. I am not satisfied. Nothing brings me joy anymore. I am so behind in many things, and I have not enjoyed my hobbies in months. My...
