Back in August 2004, I posted about working closer to home… I was reading book one of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series at the time. Well, I didn’t get that job.
Here we are, almost 6 months later and I am almost finished book ten of the aforementioned Wheel of Time—and he is still writing more!—and today I can announce I have a new job! I don’t start for a couple of weeks, but my new job will be the swishly named Web Usability Officer for an amalgam of Queensland Government departments: Disability Services Queensland, Department of Communities and Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Policy. I think that’s right. Bit of a mouthful. Anyhow, in this job I get to be a champion! Looking forward to that 🙂
Unfortunately I will not be working any closer to home—I’ll be around the corner, oh, about another 2minutes walk from where I work now. Luckily the iPod shuffles arrived today, so I will have the extra music I need to go the distance!
Ben Boyle lives here! 
Woohoo! Congrats on the new job as Champion bro. 🙂 Will you be investing in the requisite black leather coat and practising your broody stare?
