PERSONAL: Holidays

I finished up at Elcom yesterday. I’m on a week’s break, before I start my next role at nsquared on 8 Dec.

So, what will I do for the week? Well, no plans to go anywhere – I’ll be staying right here at home, relaxing and catching up on things. Here’s a few of the ‘chores’ I’ve got planned:

• Get a massage – it’s been ages since I had a massage (DONE: 29/11/08)
• Tax returns – I’ve got our personal returns and company returns to do for last financial year (DONE: 29/11/2008)
• Play Spore – Michele gave me this for my birthday back in September, but I’ve hardly played any of it
• Catch up on blogs – I’m a bit behind on my reading
• Gain weight – I’ve lost a bit of weight after my recent surgery, which also means I need to…
• Gain muscle – due to lack of exercise and training my waistline has expanded (as it always does)
• Have my final check up with the specialist – to make sure everything is as it should be (DONE: 01/12/08)
• Catch up with friends
• Read magazines – I’ve got a pile of Code, CIO and business magazines to go through (DONE: 02/12/08)
• Read weekend papers – haven’t done that in a while (DONE: 30/11/2008)
• Fire up the BBQ – it’s been too long since I fired up the Barbie! (DONE: 30/11/2008)
• Work on Michele’s web site – adding a new design and some more functionality (DONE: 05/12/08)
• Reduce my caffeine habit – get it down from 4 coffees a day to 2 (DONE: 04/12/08)
• Enter Diversity Visa lottery – missed out on it last year, try again! (DONE: 30/11/2008)
• Get ready for my new role – and I’ll blogging more about that over the coming days and weeks

There’s plenty more of course, but those are the main ones I want to cover.
