Reflections on return from Melbourne

Well after what was effectively a two week paid holiday in Melbourne, it is back to reality in Brisbane. The two weeks I had down there were an excellent chance to simply take a break and make use of the time through some good reading and reflection. It was not very far into the course [...]

Shiny new silver thing with wheels

It is quite funny. About 3 years ago I go this idea in my head that I wanted to save up for a car. The problem was that I was still working at Pizza Hut and earning next to nothing. More recently I have working for the EPA which allowed me to save some money [...]

Well I have finally come to the end of my period of work for the Environmental Protection Agency. I have to say that getting ~18 months of work out of what was originally a 10 month QUT industry co-operative placement is not bad at all.

Post Synod Thoughts

Well after 5 days away up at the Alexandra Headlands camping and conference centre, Synod is over for another 18 months… well… sort of… I will get to that later. Either way, I am back and it is back to life as usual. After attending the 11th Assembly last July, I thought that I knew [...]
