Stoked!!!

It's been a busy but highly enjoyable last couple of weeks for me. I have finally gotten off my arse and things seem to be happening all at once. Which is good, I feel so much better about myself when things are busy.

So what has been happening? I am now properly employed. I have gone through training and have been working for a week now. I'm actually finding it quite fun. Basically the job is to go to Shopping Centres and Expos around Brisbane and try and promote the Mathemagic Computer Tutor and generate leads for their consultants and other people. We just hang around and talk to people, give kids balloons and just be friendly. It only sucks when it's not busy at all and its just 2 of us standing there talking to each other. Ah well who cares, it's good most of the time.

The folks have also got another dog to keep our current dog, Tipsy, entertained. Tipsy is a Border Collie and even though she gets taken to the off-leash area by my day every morning and taken for a walk by me every evening it's not enough stimulation in our small back yard. So we now have a new tiny little puppy, that is a Border Collie/Golden Retriever Cross. It's a very cute little thing but noone can decided on a name for it so I have started calling her Tito, after the leader of Communist Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito. It kinda sounds like a dog name, who knows if it will last.

With all of that happening at the moment, it's my mum's birthday on Friday and I have done nothing to prepare for it which sucks. Not to self, do something about it.

I am flat broke at the moment until Tuesday when I get paid for my new job which will be good and then hopefully I will be moving in with a bunch of good mates in Toowong. I've done the budget and it looks good, it's just a matter of me getting the money for bond and rent etc. early enough. Fingers are crossed at the moment. It will make transport etc so much less of a pain in the arse.

Also, I found out that my favourite band of all time, cheesy i know, but NoFX are coming to Australia in February and playing 2 shows in Brisbane. I have previously said that I will pawn all my possessions to see them in concert and this is the only time you will ever see me behave like a groupy but I'm going to try and get tickets to both of those shows. Yay!

All in all a successful little period and we can only build from here...
