2005 has been an interesting
year for me so far in New Zealand. I began with a
Job offer in Wellington from a small computer company
called Mercury Projects. Mercury
have been a great
company to work for, and have given me a good start here in Wellington. I have gained some excellent
experience, and also become a Microsoft Certified
Professional.
Outside work, I have joined the
Victoria University
Tramping Club and have been travelling around New
Zealand, staying in Mountain huts and experiencing some
amazing scenery. I have also taken up skiing again
enjoying the start of the season down in Wanaka and the
Queenstown Winter Festival. I have joined
Les Mills (a
great Gym) in Wellington and also met quite a few friends here.
I have also begun evening work as an English Language
Tutor, and am currently tutoring a refugee from Iraq,
who is a very interesting guy. I find this very
rewarding
Travelling wise, I think I will always be a
travelling man, I have spent a lot of time driving
around New Zealand and also have been to Australia a
couple of times. I have had a friend Durand out to
visit from the UK as well and, am due to have a friend
Kate visit in the next few months.
Work wise, I have recently been made redundant,
however on the bright side I have been offered an
interesting 12 month contract with IBM. I think
this should provide me with some great experience and
career progression. I look forward to getting
stuck in, and doing more of the same.
My website is constantly being developed and the
number of hits continues to grow, and I get a wealth of
messages through it from people all over the world.
The most recent addition is a new type of photo gallery,
where you can go to browse through my pictures and take
a look at some of the recent experiences that I have
had.
I look forward to hearing from you,
and always
appreciate messages in my Journal so go ahead and leave
a message.
