i'm not so bad at this


this photo is of a blue eyed blennie and it was taken by me at the poor knights - one of the best dive spots in new zealand and quite possibly the world. i took this shot on the first dive i took a camera with me. i'm pretty pleased with it actually - so i just bought a new camera and am now on the lookout for a marine housing.

i could stay here forever

teleworking - noun
employment at home while communicating with the workplace by phone or fax or modem [syn: telecommuting]

so the company that i am working for at the moment actually encourages us to work from home around 3 days a week. no longer do i feel like i am on the clock. or that my boss wants to keep an eye on me and my screen and everything i look at on the internet.
and i dont have to explain to the guy next to me why i look at pictures of vin diesel all day. i dont - really. but i could. he is going to be my husband. well hes first on the list.
but anyway, thats not the point i was going to make.

so i'm sitting here in my office at home - working away. and i got a little bored. still in holiday mode i think. but i was wondering, if i dont have to go to work to go to work, how much of my life can i run from this little corner of the world.

well i know i can order pizza - so takeaways are sorted.
the supermarket will deliver my groceries.
i can do all of my banking online - which is good when the money comes in.
i can buy my clothes and shoes and handbags from all over the world (although if i dont leave home, do i really need to be fashionable? - ah yes! because people will still come and visit me. i hope).
the dvd movies i love to watch are sent to my letterbox.
ah huh - if i moved my letterbox to my door, then i wouldnt have to go up the drive!
is there anything else that i actually need?

well yes. of course there is. sunshine cant be delivered in a box and neither can fun and experience. so i'm going to quit thinking of ways to stay inside and get out there ... now
