They will come...

I know, I know... I said I was going to get more updates on here and more regularly, but I just haven't really had the time to review new games, or movies. But looking at getting a few up in the next few weeks. Just been busy getting into the great outdoors and doing something that would be totally alien to most geeks/techies... And that would be exercise! Yes, you heard right. I don't want to be one of those dad's that just sits there and watches his kid running around. I want to be able to chase him and kick a ball around with him etc. So I've decided to increase my fitness by going for runs. The first one went pretty well. Had to stop every few hundred metres to catch my breath, then start again, all up the distance was about 2km or so, and I probably ran a good 90% of that! My aim is to be able to run the whole way around without stopping to catch my breath. So I will be doing more running, and hopefully my body will join the party and I will be able to do it before the end of the year!! So stay tuned to keep up to date with how I am going!! :)

The week that was... well.. no it wasn't!

What have I been up to over the last week? Well.. I have had the flu, yes that nasty virus that likes to make you feel like every inch of your body is bruised, somehow makes your nose both run and be solidly blocked at the same time, and creates a cough powerful enough to dislodge your spleen. Now, yes, I am a male, so that means any flu, cold, or bug I get instantly becomes the man flu. Now, as far as man flu goes, this was on the nastier end of the scale. Now I don't expect any sympathy from people, and don't even really want it. I didn't become bed ridden, I could still do all my own tasks, so not sympathy worthy. Just a right royal pain in my butt!!! The thing I hate most about getting sick is the time off work. I know most people will find this weird. But I do actually enjoy my job and feel bad when anything stops me from working the hours rostered to me. I guess you could call me a bit of a company loyalist, as I take pride in my work and enjoy doing it to the best of my ability. That and I have spent most of my life working in an industry that expects that unless you are physically unable to move you come to work. So it is pretty built into me that I should be at work unless restricted to bed. However, since I now work in an office environment it is now encouraged that you stay away from work when sick so you do not pass it on to others. To me this just doesn't feel right, as I am still perfectly capable of doing the work, I am just sick with the flu. But in saying this I do fully understand that staying away from work is the better option, as making others sick would just put a lot more strain on the workplace. So being at home all week I have just been helping my wife out with our bubba, and just enjoying spending time with my wee man. Hopefully soon I will be able to muster up the will power to do a proper review post or something :)
