Every time I look for a new house to live in, I forget how awful the whole experience is. However we have our house, we have our jobs, we will soon have our belongings (which seem to take several weeks to transport a mere 3500km’s).

I have completed my first week at Open Networks. The office is in the CBD, so this involved me getting out of bed, walking across the road, getting on the train, waiting for 25 minutes, getting off the train, walking across the road and sitting at my desk. Overall quite painless although I did feel like I was in a cattle run as I funnelled out of Flinders Street train station along with 10,000 other people.

Now all I need to do is decorate my cubicle a bit. Dang I wish I had kept the parachuting green bear!

I’m sorry Ryan - but dealing with “all the people” on the train in Melbourne doesn’t quite rate against all the people in London! It never ceases to amaze me just how many people are here. Just when you think the commuter train is full, another 20 people get on. I’m just glad I’m a fair amount taller than the average commuter so I’m above the crowd a bit & step on the average person by accident.

Glad you’re settling in ok. Has your bear parachute turned up yet?

I’m sure Melbourne doesn’t rate at all with London. The train I catch barely gets full at all really (I’m on a short line).

The bear parachute hasn’t turned up yet (Tim is slack), but I did bring the bear into work and it’s sitting on my desk. I’m gonna gradually bring things in over the next few weeks so people don’t notice too much. I might even bring in my Nautronix dolphin logo and stick it up on the cube wall :D
