good onya, Brett - life in a tropical paradise (tropical hurricanes you can do without?) with a lovely lady & travelling around the world sounds ok.

I'm counting the days till I retire (very scary stuff cos I am sooo good at isolating) in 3 years. All I hope is my job lasts - 1 sit in one desk & do 2 completely different jobs, & one is supposed to be centralised (ie. taken away from me!!) in August. My boss's boss knew nothing about this, neither did her boss, the Director & we dunno what is happening. As state offices are supposed to give bits of their budget to the winning office when it happens & our office doesn't have money for this job (I didn't know that cos I get paid each fortnight!!) I dunno what is happening.

live each day as it comes is a good philosophy, so I just wait.
