New Year has started today as today is the day that I moved countries and the first four and a bit days of 2011 felt like an extension of 2010. I've got a 1 year contract o/s so who knows where 2012 will find me (most likely back in Oz).

I'm in Singapore for a couple of days at the moment, so that's sort of like being in limbo. I'll be arriving in Indonesia on Friday and starting work Saturday. 2010 was spectacularly shit. 2011 has to be better. Resolutions for 2011 will be articulated in the next 24 hours (Resolution No. 1).

Good luck Casi! Sounds exciting! I've never moved farther from home than 1hr...

Thanks MTP. Last time I came back from a work gig o/s I pontificated long and loudly about how I was never leaving my hometown to work anywhere else ever again. I now have to eat my words. I suspect (unfortunately) that relocating for work might almost be a lifestyle for me.

How far is Austin from where you currently live?

About 4hrs if I don't hit traffic. So its not all that bad, baby steps. To me though, it is still scary.

It does get easier the more times you move and you can always go back (at 4 hours, it's just jump in the car and drive).
