I'm still applying for jobs and going for interviews and stuff and am waiting to hear on at least three that I'm reasonably confident about. But now there's no pressure, I can afford to be a bit picky and not necessarily just go for the first thing I'm offered. So, I'm just a bit over-excited and needed to share!
Right, giddiness over! I'm off to celebrate.
Yay!

Hi all,
Thanks for all the best wishes. Have calmed down a little this morning!
Rapitts: Hey, Ron. The salary is base, so super's on top. Which is nice.
No worries there!
Merlot: The job's out near Parramatta, so he's got a commute to look forward to - he's not happy about that part, as in Oxford he used to walk to work across fields full of deer and rabbits (bloody rural Oxfordshire ...). It's all a bit of a turnaround, as I used to be the one with the 45 minute commute, and I never got any sympathy, so I think it's quite funny!
Chalkfarm: We'll definitely have to meet up soon. I'm starting a temp job on Monday though, so it'll have to be at the weekend. Let me know when you're around and we'll sort something out. No news on the furniture! The boat was meant to dock yesterday, so I'll get Patrick to chase up PSS for an update on Monday. Any news about your stuff yet?
Hevs: The ranting will stop!
Cheers all,
GG
