Yay! A much better day – in fact, an excellent day. So off to work – Wynnis – the company director was down for the day, a very lively lady altogether!.. But the best thing was that Julie (who has now attained super-hero status) found me a job in a sorta customer service government call center. Ok ok it’s not perfect… but it’s NOT SALES which is great. And no KPIs (Key Performance Indicators – see I know all the lingo now)
The great thing is that it’s for two months, which will bring me to Mid April.. which is when our lease here runs out.. And I am thinking of heading to Queenstown probably (I’m also maybe going to angle for contract work in Oz with my old company.. but I kinda doubt I will be able to pull that one off.. never know though) But yeah – so if all goes according to plan – get two or three (or four if no contract work happens) months in the cruisey call center job, then three months for the ski season… then maybe go WWOOF ing for a month or two.. and then start travelling… very loose plans, very much subject to change at any time.. but still, you have no idea what a relief it is to have work again..
Looks like I will also get some extra work when they (madison – the company I’m working with at the mo) move office.. setting up their VPN (Virtual Private Network ;) It was kinda funny – Wynnis asked me today if I knew what VPN stood for.. when I did she then said that maybe I could help set it up.. will have to angle for more money for that skilled work :D
Hehee, so that was great – and then also Nathan and Rachel – my two cousins – were back for their final night after a year and a half abroad – before heading back to the US/Canada.. and they took me out for dinner (bday present) and then we went to my auld favorite dingy dive (though full of character and cheap drinks) the Chancery.. were we karaokied the night away .. Rachel ending with the very apt ‘Leaving on a Jet plane’ If anyone comes to ChCh it’s a must see honestly ;)
And off to Nelson tomorrow (bank holiday here on the friday!)
