  Personal stuff...and stuff
I finally get around to updating this with something that isn't about football or members of the Ramones dying...

So, um life is sweet. Rhonda and I are still seeing each other and still getting on very well (we've got a date to see this in about 20 minutes). She's met most of my friends and I've met some of hers, and we all seem to get on well. And for a civilian, she's full of good advice and support for my issues with depression - basically offering the odd helpful suggestion about how to look at the world, and reminding me that anxiety and stuff can be, you know, normal.

The big news is, though, that I got the job! I only applied as a way of seeing what was out there, and how well my skills stacked up against other people. I was glad just to get an interview, then a second interview, then a third...and then they offered me the job. The good news - it's basically a 10% salary increase, plus superannuation contributions, plus a salary review in 6 months. I'm happy.

I'll be working in a more strategic role, more to do with project management of information projects from records management through to knowledge management. No more reference requests from school kids. It's at a central government agency that I won't name here (best to keep all that very well seperate from what I write about here).

I start in late October. Woot for me!
