At our Parramatta office this morning. For those of you without a grasp of Sydney geography it’s in the West – sort of the start of the scarier Western suburbs. Is that replicated elsewhere? That the Western suburbs of a city are socio-economically more challenged than the east, south or north? It fits in Melbourne and Sydney but I don’t know any other cities well enough to work out if the principle works anywhere else. Have come out for a meeting for a new bid we are undertaking. I am currently laying out the work for the next week or so and it looks bloody busy. I’ve also got to find time to write a presentation for our next Quarterly meeting about our last big project. I’d prefer to do it off the cuff – I speak better that way – but we need pretty slides as well to make it cool for all the other people.
And my friend Caroline had her baby! Little Jack – who at 58cms and 4.8kgs (11lbs!!!) – is a) not so little at all and b) if he keeps at that size is going to be a sodding big lad – after a few quick calculations he’s going to be at least 6`2″ and going by the fact that Australians tend to eat well and grow tall – probably taller. Funny huh? I used a couple of calculators from baby books and the stats suggest that there’s a 70% chance he’ll be within 2 inches of the predicted height. Funny to sort of know how tall someone’s going to be. Anyways more news on that front as it comes to hand.
Listening to: Michelle Branch and Maren Ord – yes I know I’m a total wuss but I can’t argue – not my office – not my CDs – it’s kinda soothing at 7am in the morning in a bland pop crap way. Can’t start with Ministry can I? It’s like smoking unfiltered cigarettes when you first get up.
