Well, I thought that WP 2.7 was coming the other day, but it turns out that it was for wordpress.com users, not for outside users. The best laid plans of mice and men :-)

I have updated to WP 2.7 RC1, and it looks good. I didn’t loose anything throught he update process this time (unlike my last update where I screwed something up bigtime, but thankfully had a backup so it didn’t take too long to recover).

I haven’t had much time to play around with the site, I’ve been flat out at work. The way things are shaping up I may not be able to do too much until after Christmas, when the company practically shuts down for a while. I’ll be at home, but on call.

I’m trying to book in some leave in the very early new year, but haven’t been able to get confirmation yet. I desperately need a break, time to recharge. I will have long service leave owing to me in February, but I’ve already been told I’m not allowed to take that in one hit (8 weeks) until at least May. This despite the fact that I have given them 6 months notice that it was coming up.

I was really looking forward to that long service leave, and I’m devistated that they have put the brakes on it. What worries me is come May when I ask to take it, they will find some other excuse to block me again. And I’ll end up in a never ending cycle of applying and being denied for some other tiny reason.
