Went for an interview at Seek today - wired out of my skull on coffee and lack of Lovan. Oops. I may have sounded like I was on crack. Psychometric testing tomorrow as part of their employment policy. Maybe I will be classed as too fucked up to employ? It was the slide between floors that did it for me. Am I Seek material? We shall see....

UCMS has offered me a role with Amex - 9 weeks full time hardcore training if I take that one. It's my back up if the result at Seek is FAIL. They seem to have a funky work model too, which is encouraging. And they have beanbags.

Strange Indian man offered me work doing websites for his travel bookings business. Doesn't pay much though and would be from his home office which is a little spooky. Last resort.

Time shall tell, I guess. In the meantime I have been hanging out with Cailin and reading far too many pirate porn novels. I know my brain is in a strange place because earlier one of them had me in tears. Meh.

Turns out the inheritance is some crazy amount like $35,000. WTF? I could put a deposit on a freakin' house. But...well, in the end duty comes first, doesn't it? Yeah.

Things are looking up in the work department. Starting something on monday, will see how it goes.

Thankyou, Smartclix, for wasting my time. I really enjoyed being strung along for weeks while you sent me vague emails and ignored my requests for information.

May your websites suck and your code not validate. Ever.

Just spoke to mum as she was leaving the house in the Murk for the last time. It's been so long in the making that she said she felt nothing in the leaving of it. So much of dad in that house. But times roll on, lives roll on. Mum has been offered the two bedroom apartment she wanted in Brisbane and things will never be the same. I'm so fucking happy for her, but it still hurts to see her go.

More strangeness....my sisters and I have been left money in my Uncle George's will that would have gone to dad, if he were still alive. Old school will means it gets entailed to the progeny rather than the wife. Have said to mum I will give her the money, though I have no idea how much it will be. Uncle George lived the most basic of lives in the old house by the river. They never had much and certainly never spent any money, so I didn't think he had any. Amazing how people sit on great fortunes without spending a cent.

And here is tonight's outfit....



le ouch! Fuck that was fun...now for the party!

Swimming on the edge of depression again. It's amazing how fast it can happen. I've been waiting all week to hear back about a job I really want, feeling like I rocked in the interview and then hearing nothing. Also knowing they checked at least one of my refs. I emailed them this morning and got a weird reply that they were setting up their office and couldn't offer me a position until they had done so because of "my background". Not really sure what that means. Do they think because I worked in porn I can't be trusted to work from home the first week as they originally said? Anyway, it's one of those days when nothing is right. My hair looks bollocks, my outfit was pissing me off so I had to change and I poked myself in the eye with the eyeliner pencil.

Meh.

It's the final day! I can hardly contain my excitement!
The gorgeous german waiter gave me free banana bread this morning to celebrate. Ha.

Pleased.

The boy is the proud owner of a new job. Hurray! My days in Hell are now numbered....

Oh yes, and I got a parrot.

Things are still up in the air. Staying at Snatchville for a bit longer, until I get something else. Applied for loads of things, most of which I'm not qualified to do. Hopefully something will rear it's ugly customer service related head soon and I can tell a certain someone where to go on my way out the door.

Been watching the old Starwars films again this weekend. Enjoying small things like Vader's double take in the Empire Strikes Back. God those films were genius. Sadly it makes me loathe the new ones even more.

Second life is back to taking up a bit of my first life. Mainly because I built the most awesomest pirate haven that has ever been seen. I have this kick arse pirate ship with black sails and canons that fire. Avast! If you ever get into SL, my nick is Projekt Hera. Look me up and come visit my piratey lair. Ooo-waaaargh!

All I need now is a parrot....
