Insight

I've just (successfully) made a little joke in the office re the fact that I did something in the late 80s and gosh-wasn't-that-a-long-time-ago-aren't-I-incredibly-old-yes-I-understand-that-37-is-still-quite-young*.

It occurs to me that I use this premise quite a bit, and there's a fine line between trotting out a running gag and simply banging on about something.

Please let me know any time you think that's happened. Do I trot or bang?

(*) I actually have a lot of good reasons for doing this. Try being told by your beloved father that he "won't feel old until you leave home" or "it's OK until you turn 40".

News! News!

( Heaven help us all, someone's taking me seriously )

EDIT: I've added some crumbs of further information. No doubt many more excitable posts on the topic to follow.

Women in IT

This evening at an Australian Computer Society (ACS) meeting I was encouraged to attend the next Women in IT networking event (drinkies) by the WA Branch chair. She happens to be a she.
