So I’ll try and write more Friday (going out to watch some Samurai flick with Chris’ kendo buddies tomorrow), but in the meantime, here’s one of the things I’m enjoying: the view from the office windows. I look out over the harbor; the break room (on the other side of the building) looks out over the city. Before Ramon catches a plane down here for the sole purpose of killing me and taking my office, I should let you know that I don’t *have* an office anymore, or a cubicle, or even a desk at the moment (I’m borrowing the desk of someone who’s out for training). The whole floor (except some executive offices and small conference rooms in the middle) is just desks, open to the glass walls and that gorgeous view. Also, I’m told I shouldn’t get attached to it, as TPTB want to move us to another building… just as soon as somebody confirms we can actually get to the network from there… In the meantime, though, I get a front-row balcony seat for arriving planes, a couple of different sailing clubs, *all* of the ferries, the container yards that may eventually contain our container (Our dear Florens, on its plucky way across the Pacific even now…), and the ever-changeable Wellington weather.

PS: My fabulous camera, which I love, has *finally*, after *several* weeks, run through its first battery. Canon BP-111/112 lithion ion. Yeah, baby !
