Off skiing in Lord of the Rings Country
That's right folks, I'm off to the land of the long white cloud for 3 weeks of vacation, fun and frivolity. I'm going to be visiting some of the locales where they shot LoTR as well as spending a day touring WETA Workshop in Wellington. When I'm not sight seeing, I'll be falling over a lot in the snow as I try to learn to ski or Snowboard So until then, take care everyone. 8)

Talwyn, what do you do for a living? I haven't had a vacation in 3 years.

FF, I work for a State Government sub department called Employment Directions. I get 5 paid weeks leave per year, 1 week of conference leave and 10 days of sick leave. My function is to help people, be they school leavers, students, unemployed etc to get into work via training or targeted applications. I get a good salary and its the best job I've had in a long while as its quite rewarding when I help someone get the job or start their career. Life is good :)
