work wise it means that i am back at work tomorrow morning. i need to prep for a team meeting set for next week. however our gear wont be available til the end of the month 
as apple are out of stock of macbooks for my team. i need to set meetings and get back into the groove of things. 2009 still sees me working for core education ltd and contracting to the ministry of education to work on te marautanga o aotearoa implementation project. my team of 9 are scattered throughout the country. i am still rotorua based and loving that and the view from the office.
personally for me i have set no new resolutions. i would just hope that 2009 is a year for change. i feel i need change but im not quite sure on how that is going to happen or when it is going to happen. ill let you know how this goes for me later this month or year.
i wish you all a happy 2009 year e hoa mā.
kua tō te rā ki runga o te tau 2008. hai ātahi rā ka tū anō te rā tuatahi o te tau hou pākehā nei. mauri ora.
