update on me

it's been a while since i gave an update on what i'm up to so i figure now's a good time. i'm still homeless at the moment and counting down the days until the tenant moves out of our flat in scarborough so that i can move in... less than a month to go now!! i'm currently housesitting for pete and ali in golden bay which involves a long commute to work and back each day. presently it's taking between 2.5 - 3 hours for each round trip which i can handle as i know it's only temporary. i started working for schlumberger last wednesday and so have now done just over a week. the work is fine and the people i work with are very friendly. i'm working in the payroll dept so it's familiar territory for me. probably the worst aspect of the job is that i now have to wear a suit every day (except for dress down fridays) which is something that i've not had to do before.

i've had the opportunity to catch up with quite a few people since i've been back which has been really enjoyable. corey's new coffee shop (http://www.epicespresso.com.au/) is really lovely and vanessa's coffees are as delicious as ever. i'm enjoying the footy and even got a hug from the elderly lady i sit near at the freo home games. all the crew there seem pretty glad to have me back in my old seat at subi oval although we've lost both games i've been to so far and i have a bad feeling that this could be extended with the western derby this weekend.

so, all in all, it's lovely to be home and it kinda feels like i was never really away.
