Quality control

From a conversation at work today:

Me: So you are saying it is better to be consistent than right?
Boss: Yes

Says a lot, really.

Rain

So far, 2008 has been wet.

Really really wet.

Rain nearly every day this month.

Brisbane's dams are now over 30% of capacity (up from something like 15% this time last year)

There are gullies across my back yard where the water running under the fence from my neighbour has pushed aside the gravel. The whole lower back yard is a damp mess. The vegies, especially the tomatoes have given up the ghost with the swampy ground.

Amazingly there was just a little bit of sun yesterday and this afternoon, so for the first time in 3 weeks I get to mow the lawn, which is inches high. Of course, I run out of petrol half way through.

Bet it rains tomorrow again!

On projects and confidentially

OK, I'm bad. No post for 10 weeks.

The thing is, I have been really busy at work on all sorts of potentially very interesting projects. Unfortunately, none of the work is in the public domain and I'm not really allowed to talk about it. One of the projects would lead to a potentially multi-billion dollar infrastructure projects so I can understand why Queensland Transport wouldn't want any information to get out, apart from what it lets out itself.

At least I am going to get a report out on Monday for the other project which has been keeping me insane for months.

I can't wait for the reports to become public so I can make comment.

Sigh.
