Back by popular demand!
This is my 600th post. That's a lot of bullshit from just one person.
Ok today is Sunday and I have just applied for a job at an international exporting company based in Chatswood. I wrote a ripper cover letter so fingers crossed I get an interview. I have also looked on seek and mycareer but nothing took my fancy although I'm sure in a few weeks' time if I still don't have a job, I'll be applying for everything I see.
Things are going well with Mel, she is a bit of an Anal Factory (something I coined the other night) but it's nothing I wasn't already expecting of course. One weird thing is that I have to close the bathroom door when I brush my teeth, because she doesn't want to hear the sound of me 'engaging in personal hygiene.' Now, is that normal, or weird? Her boyfriend Oleg comes over alot. I don't really mind, although I don't think he's perfect for her, as he oozes with the homophobia and racism that can only be seen in some of the most uneducated people out there. His knowledge is a little outdated: he thinks people come here and work for less and therefore steal Aussies' jobs. He was referring to the Chinese in particular. As far as I know, most of them are legal...? And what I find strange is that he's working double the amount of hours that he is permitted to according to his visa... so who's stealing jobs from whom? Then I realised I would never be able to have an interesting conversation with him. He's not exactly the type to be leading the socialist alliance club over at Sydney Uni or anything. I could go on about how Mel is going to help him stay in Australia via way of visas etc, but I may actually end up really really not liking him.
I had another interview on Friday afternoon. The office was bloody tiny with 4 people squeezed into a tiny room, and there was crap all over the desks and floor. Bad sign. My interviewer though was very professional with a background at Newscorp etc but alas I don't think we 'clicked' and she seemed to be a bit of a snob in general. Will delete this post if I get the job ;-)
Tonight I'm having Rose-cin over for a baby BBQ in the park across the street. Mel, Oleg and I went for a walk around the park last night (Mel jogged a bit too) and it's quite nice.
In other news, Katie-wa, my number one fan, (Hi Kate!), is coming up to Sydney in early April so we'll get to hang out and do sisterly bonding things like drink coffee and read the newspaper and maybe see the Archibold show if it's still on (?). She was wondering whether to take the train which would arrived at 8pm Friday or 8am Saturday morning, and I advised she should take the 8pm one so she won't be tired and grumpy when she gets here! Maybe we can go get facials or something...
Ok so I've been back from China for just over a week now, and i feel like it was over before it began. Must save for another trip!!!
Love
