feedback wow....

I have just received an anonymous comment on my last post, thank you whoever you are…

So with the power of blogging via email – I update

Struggle has pretty much passed, it needed a cathartic moment, I had it, and it will never be spoken of again however it did involve a few stray tears, something I usually only do during movies or really sappy ads LOL so I obviously needed a serious eye cleanse… and it’s done. I guess that just makes me human, dammit! It did trigger a return to smoking though and I really need to make that give up decision again! Soon…

So things have been better, I am playing golf again which I obviously missed and I very much both enjoy and need. I’ve played 2 x 18 hole games including one at Metropolitan which was awesome and though I played more erratically than usual and only amassed 15 points, I enjoyed reminiscing about following the women the course at The Australian Open last February. It’s cool that our minds allow us to recollect events and situations that we have experienced previously and relive some of that joy. I really did enjoy watching the women’s golf. And though last week I saw Tiger play the OZ Masters at Kingston Heath and was impressed and amazed by all the brouhaha (is that how you spell it?), I enjoyed watching the women’s golf much more.

I keep track of the women’s LPGA via twitter and on Facebook and was chuffed to see Michelle Wie win her 1st pro title – well done Michelle. I also watch it on fox sports when I remember to look it up! Still keeping my eye on Katherine Hull too.


Final golf mention perhaps. 3 more matches for the women’s golf network this year – Patterson River, Heidelberg and the xmas function at Malvern Valley. Kaz, Sarah & Jude have all joined the network so hopefully we will all participate in the xmas team event even if it is the day after orphans! I’ve booked anyway!


Anne & Wayne came over for the golf last weekend, and though Anne & I went to the golf on Thurs morning we spent the rest of the weekend on gastronomic and shopping adventures. I had a really cool weekend and felt like I had a mini vacation too. Thanks Anne! They kindly bought me some outdoor win glasses and some nice new stemless ones, thanks for being such lovely guests. Now I will have to drink more wine.

Went to Knowledge Management roundtable event on Thursday at the zoo. Was really cool getting back into that mindset, sharing ideas with fellow KM practitioners and learning about how we all can better collaborate to achieve in our workplaces. I twittered some thoughts as the day progressed as did some of my peers. Check out the tweets here

In between loading Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 beta on my PC, which I think’s pretty cool btw, I received an email from the KM lecturer at RMIT asking if I was willing to participate in both semesters next year as well. Vanessa said the feedback had been really good on my 1st session which I conducted in September and she would like me to do it again! Hell yeah! It’s even got me thinking about it now… and it will be until April LOL.

I am missing watching Dollhouse, loved the concept and the place it was heading and disappointed its been cancelled but still looking forward to seeing the remaining 9 episodes in December.





Finally, Crush 2009 update – so hmmm, it’s definitely still there. We have sorta vaguely socialized over a group lunch, and it only further cemented said crush however I am going to remain a complete wuss and not doing anything further. Though in my head I keep thinking I should risk a phone call to ask if it would be appropriate for me to ask her out for dinner! Won’t happen though.

So at the mo, life is good and I really can’t complain. Have recovered really well from gall bladder surgery and am eating and drinking most things – though I do know when I am consuming something that little bit too fatty! Did daughterly duty today and popped into the market stall at Mum’s church at her bequest, did some grocery shopping, now to washing and housecleaning followed by 2 eps of Glee which I have downloaded. That’s if I stop playing with Windows 7. Golf tomorrow and it won’t be too hot and then golf again on Friday at my cousin’s club. Oh and work!

Thanks again anonymous for your feedback – next time don’t be such a chicken and leave your name!
