A lot of stuff has changed this past month. Some things that are bad, other things that have been good. Work at Telstra is going good, but it seems that I’m stuck in a rut there, nothing seems to be progressing as quick as I intended.
I haven’t made a definate decision yet, but an opportunity has risen at the mine’s where I can work, make a lot of money and save up some cash. I guess it would be a good choice to go for it. I would have a stable job, good income and it will get me out of Townsville for a fortnight at a time, so would make a lot of people happy.
I hope things are going well for everyone, and if anyone decides to travel overseas for work / pleasure I hope they have a safe flight and reap the rewards they are looking for. I hope everything works out for everyone in the future and they have success in what ever they are doing, me included.
Well, I finished work at 8:40pm last night, and was looking forward to going out. When I got downstairs at work it was raining heavily, so it dampened my mood a bit 
We ended up going all over to different clubs, for some reason not much was happening, could have been the weather. We consumed quite a lot of alcohol (Rachelle drank a whole bottle of wine, and lost count of what else we drank), I drank quite a few drinks too.
We ended up leaving the city about 2:30am and got a lift back to Kirsten’s, and then I drove us home. I was kind of scared about the ride home, I was fine to drive and all, it’s just the law requires people on a provisional license to have 0.0 blood alcohol, I knew I would be a 0.02 or so, but I made it home alright, didn’t get pulled over, and Rachelle pretty much passed out as soon as her head hit the bed :razz:
All in all, it was a good night, had a lot of fun, got a lot of photos, Rachelle and I had a great time, so I was happy about that 
Rachelle and I watched all three Lord of The Rings the other week, it was agony at first for me, but I eventually got used to the whole fantasy thing. The movies weren’t too bad, the special effects were great, it’s just a pity the movies go for about 3 hours.
Work has been quite hectic the past couple of days, why I don’t know as there hasn’t been any outages or anything, it’s strange. I will be getting paid on Tue/Wed which will be awesome, my first pay under a Telstra contract, I should get quite a bit of moolah
Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and an awesome New Years. I for one certainly did, I didn’t stay out too late on New Years though, ended up making it back home about 3:30am or something. The weather was just way too hot, and the club’s weren’t really packed at all (I have seen more people out on Friday/Saturday nights). I think a lot of people went over to Magnetic Island, since DJ Benny Benassi was doing a concert over there, but who knows.
Work is going great, I work 20 minutes less than what I did before, and get paid more, so I am happy. I still enjoy having days off though!
Well, that’s all for me, let me know what you got upto for Christmas / New Years.
Well today I awoke at 5am to turn the alarm off, and layed back down in bed, then Rachelle woke me back up at 5:15am saying that I should get ready for work. Did all the usual (shower, dressed and drive). I got to work about 5:50am, and went to go buy some iced coffee, but the vending machine was empty!
I don’t know why people get up at 6am to call up Telstra for technical support, people should be still sleeping at those hours of a morning on a weekend! Work was constant all day, I ended up leaving at 11am as I felt sick (had a sore throat, felt sick when I ate lunch and had a fever), so I came home early.
I had two ibuprofen pills to combat the headache and all, now it’s all better. Rachelle and I are going to look at some puppies (we are thinking about getting one!).
Well that’s all for now, I might update some more later.
Update: we ended up getting a puppy, it’s a Boxer x German Sheppard, it’s a little cutie! We took her for a walk last night, she walked for quite a bit, then we carried her since she was puffing so much.
Well, as some of you may know, I currently work for Telstra, but am employed through an Agency. I applied for a Telstra contract about 2 weeks ago. I had the interview on Monday that just passed, and was told I would find out by the end of the week if I was successful or not.
I finished work today at 2pm, and went to see my Agency representative to see how I went in regards to the application as I had no word to say that I was accepted or declined. Long story short, I got the job, as of the 31st December, I will be a “Telstra Employee”, which means better pay (a lot better), paid holidays/sick leave, and also an extra break during my work hours .
