Update Ahoy

Yup its Updating time, so here's the news:

Last week I had 3 interviews in one day, got hired by 2 of the 3. They're both part time, and casual BUT they're better than nothing and i'm very happy with them while i'm hunting for a full time job. One is retail (with my old company but at a different store), the other is market research over the phone - I know you can roll your eyes, but its not selling anything, simply asking people's opinions on things, or their favourite brand of ice cream, whatever the current campaign might be about.

I've got a very interesting job on the line with an insurance company, its full time and i'm about 1/2 way through the process, fingers crossed I get through the rest of it. I had a phone interview, an online assessment, a typing test and now i'm waiting for a call about whether I was accepted on an assessment workshop. Fingers crossed for me please. It wont be an easy job, but I think I'll do well with it.

I'm slowly getting through the list of places I need to change my name to my married name. I got IRD sorted (also with my student loan etc), I got the bank sorted, got my resume/cv updated, Its a matter of getting $150 to get my passport changed over, and my new 18+ card will cost $20 to be changed.

Today's gorgeous, its overcast and rainy. It feels wonderful compared to all the heat. Took some photos the other day but i'll have to post them another day because i've got to resize them.

Better go, i'm going to curl up on the couch and read for a little bit. I'll write again soon xoxox

Talk about a curve ball from left field....

To update you on whats happening, i'm back in new zealand. Things are going well.

If you'd asked me this time last week what my chances are/were that i'd be back in new zealand by today, i wouldn't have thought it very likely. But we were made an offer by my uncle to help us out because things are only going to get worse over there, and being back here opens up a lot of options for us. Most importantly It should be easier to to find a job, get patrick's immigration stuff sorted and all that fun stuff. Oh and yeah its damn awesome to be able to see my mum and family, friends again.

So that kinda explains why i've been a bit quiet. We were given the offer on Thursday, and the tickets were booked on saturday for sunday (yesterday), and well - here we are!

Random amusement for me at the moment, I just called telebanking for my bank account here in nz, one I haven't touched in awhile and turns out i've got an amazing interest rate lol i've got about $70 in there that i didn't know I had! that made me giggle. Of course I can't use the account until i a)get a new eftpos card and b) change the account type, cos the fees are astronomical while its on the super save & win program.

We had a good flight, it was funny watching a hari krishna guy getting told off by the airhostess for trying to tell people the good word, and I spent my time between doing wordsearches and well thats about it lol. They had storms here in christchurch yesterday, apparently really crazy bad storms but we missed it all muahaha.

Damn, I just realised i'll have to change the title of my blog again since i'm no longer in the OZ. Nevermind I'll think of something.

I applied for 6 jobs this morning, so i think its been a bit of productive day :) anyways better go, talk to you again soon guys xoxox
