Perth, Work and Rejection

Still here in Perth (that seems to be the opening line for my last few posts!!) Having a great time and I don't want to leave.

I'm really enjoying my job and have met loads of new people - none firm friends yet, but I will get a better chance to talk to them tomorrow night after work as it's the monthly office "sundowner" (which is a visit to a public house!!) The ticket costs $5 for all you can drink in a 2 hour period from wines, beers and soft drinks - cool!! And a great way to socialise with new peeps!!

They let me loose on the phones yesterday afternoon and I am coping really well which is good and all my team mates want Advance (that's the company) to take me on permanently - apparantly they offer a sposonship programme so i will bring that up on Monday after the sundown when they realise what a wonderful crazy lady i am!!!

I've had a rejection letter from the claims job and a phone call about the account handler job - they both need Tier 1 compliancy, which is the equivalent to what I have already under the UK regulations, but it's not good enough - I actually have to have the Ozzie qualification to work anywhere in the broking industry, so have enquired about doing the course by distance learning or by workshops or however!! I just want to get that under my belt then I will have employers falling at my feet!!

Emma has left Jane and Chris' to venture into the yonder of the bush!! She has got a 3-4 week chef job at some rural farm, then who know's what next!! Her departure will give me a better chance at meeting new people though, so all is good!!

I do miss home though and am really starting to miss my friends - I was walking to work the other day and Resound's "Band of Barons" came on on my ipod - hearing Blakes voice made me really really miss the side room of the Colly!!

I know you would love it here Sara, there are tons of weird people like you and me, so get yourself a passport, visa and some money and come on down!!

Bye for now
