Its Bloggy Time...

I know i'm a couple days late in writing this. But I have a pretty darn good reason for it - I had a job interview on wednesday, and then yesterday I got invited out with a friend.

My interview went well, so well in fact I got invited back in the afternoon for a second interview/trial!! Unfortunately I had to decline the job offer because it was just too far away. The job was for a promotions company. It took me about 3 hours to get home from where we were out in the "field". That included 2 trains, 1 bus, and a car ride home (it was meant to be 2 buses but by the time I got to the mall, my last bus had left - roughly about the time I got on the bus in the city) which sucked because I was told they ran until about 10pm but oh well.

Besides that things are going well, still sending my resume in anywhere and everywhere that I can. I was chatting to a friend last night who said she was doing everything I'm doing and it took her 5 months to find a job :( that was doing something minimum wage. So i'm going to keep at it.

Random piece of information - Fuel prices in NZ have hit NZ$2 a litre, and here in Aussie its not too far behind (its about AU$1.50 a litre in my area). How crazy is that? which of course means food prices are going to go up, i'm also thinking that they might put up bus ticket prices too. Where will it stop? Why aren't the governments stepping in and doing something about it? it really makes me worried about what things will be like in a year..let alone 5 years.

Alrighty, well I've gotta go make a few calls to places i'm hoping dad can drive me to today to drop off my resume.

Yes i'm still keeping up with this blog..kinda

My deepest apologies for being so slack on this journal!

Things have been so busy, I've been spending most days applying/dropping off resumes (yes they prefer that term to "cv" over here), and even had an interview! Not bad i've applied for maybe 25 jobs in the past 2-3 weeks, and only got 1 interview :( it sucks that there's so many people looking for work but only a limited amount of spaces.

Life has been hectic, but nice. I'm adjusting to the weather a little more each day (yay), but by lunchtime every day i'm usually in shorts, then by dinner time i'm in jeans/long pants because its cooling down.

Yesterday was pretty awesome. My cousin Nicky took me out for the day. We had coffee in town, took a boat ride around the river in the city, then went to the Greek Festival! it was absolutely amazing. So much good food! and there was tonnes of things to see and do. Pat opted to stay at home for the dog groomer, but next time its on we're all going. I'll try to get some photos off nicky to post on here for you guys.

Made a really yummy fruit salad today, one of the perks of having family working in the fruit & veggie markets hehe. So I think I'm going to go get myself some for lunch

Hope you're all doing well, Missing you all!
