Work started this morning on the disused fuel tanks at the garage. This afternoon, the coverings on the old lumps had been removed with no pumps in evidence. It looks as if they may be degassing the tanks and sealing them.
The Vision - Adriatica is a true village and a project unlike any other in the world. The goal is to create a community that in a relatively short period of time replicates villages that have taken centuries to develop. The project involves not only proper architecture and visual design, but also expertise in culture and social interaction. Not just how to build, but how to arrange the pieces of daily life, from where we live, work, shop and play, to form a cohesive unit.

This is how I found my home when I arrived from my holidays. Actually worse than this, a week has gone by since I got back and still not ready... Patience, patience....
Red Stapler! My old cube, but even at my new one it's pretty much the same. Minus that awful green piggy bank at the corner of it. It talks. SO ANNOYING. My old boss kept putting it there and he and the mailman had a ball pressing the button. No matter how many times I tried to make it dissapear.. it always came back. Until I killed it.

The great rarity of this chair lies in the original wool Turkey-work that covers its seat and back. “Turkeywork” refers to a type of woven fabric with a knotted-and-cut wool pile that was made in England in imitation of Turkish carpets. Used for chairs, cushions, and table coverings, the fabric was exported in matching sets for chairs. Decorative fringe once covered the row of nails around the seat and back. Simple chair frames of this sort were also commonly upholstered in leather or plain wool fabric.
Provenance
Dr. Irving Whitall Lyon, Hartford, Connecticut, by 1891; his son, Dr. Irving P. Lyon, Buffalo, New York, by 1923; Mrs. J. Insley Blair, Tuxedo Park, New York, 1923-died 1951.

Saw movement out of the corner of my eye (through my window) and realized several of my work mates were floating by on their brooms! I fell out of my chair laughing and grabbed my camera (yes it sits on my desk) and snapped them when they came back around! They found some items that looked like witches hats and obviously had too much time on their hands that day and had been going back and forth in front of my window several times before I actually looked- see I was hard at work unlike some folks!

So, here is more...I work as a multimedia/video producer at News Digital Media, Sydney. This basically means that 60% of my time I spend producing/designing custom interactives for NEWS.com.au and 40% of the time I produce video content for NEWS.com.au.
I reckon I am very lucky to have the job that I do. I got given the opportunity to come up with my role description, which got stuck since it has worked for a while now.
