Well good lord, I nearly fell off my chair. I got the job! Induction on Thursday night - woop woop! Which is amusiing in so far as Thursday was the one night that I said I would have trouble working! OH will just have to miss indoor cricket this week or something!

Woohoooo! It's a start! They only guarantee 6 hours a week, but frankly that is better than $5.13 a fortnight that centrestink pay. Mind you, I think the work will physically kill me - literally, but that is a problem to worry about next week

Thanks again, for all the kind wishes! Keep your fingers crossed though and if I suddenly stop posting you'll know it was all too much

Hey, that's great news. Well done. Keep thinking about the money!

SillyOldBag

Thank you Believe me, I am thinking about the money! I've already spent my induction training money in my head I apologised to the lady when I asked if the induction would be paid I felt as if I was being ever so grasping!

Congratulations, just a foot in the door will help in moving onwards in the future where ever and whenever you want to

DeadVim

Nice one, physical work is good, you'll be able to scoff more bad stuff

Bix

Brilliant news M.

How long was it in the end?

TiddlyPom

Woolies?

SillyOldBag

Thankyou. That's the way I'm looking at it. I'm going to carry on looking, I have to really but this should to some extent keep the wolf from the door...

What bad stuff? I'll have you know I'm having a healthy and delicious tuna bake for dinner..... oh no, wait, that's you!

Thank you - it is isn't it! How long was what? My mind is all over the place at the moment! I've been job hunting for bloody months. Truth be told i was only looking for jobs that fitted in some way with my experience til now, ie office based, admin type roles. It didn't really occur to me that I would need to do this, I thought some employer would take a chance that the old grey matter still functions, but it seems it's my brawn and not my brain that has won the day!! i wore a loose fitting top that disguised that I have the muscle mass of a daddy-long-legs.

Bix

Yeah, that's what I meant.

So how long before you start weightlifting for a sport?

SillyOldBag

I'm not sure but Cairns better watch out - I might have to take steroids to build up some muscle mass and go crazy. Actually, I have the crazy pretty much well covered already apparently.

SillyOldBag

I'm feeling disproportionately happy

elice_in_oz

And so you should! Congratulations! There's nothing like a job offer to boost the ego, whatever the job! Well done and good luck for Thursday!

I had an interview this morning so it's still for me...

SillyOldBag

Good luck with it!! Perhaps today is a day for great things for all of us!

I've just sent off another job application but with a more carefree heart....

Congrats A job is a job so it's all good. If they're anything like down here, you will get more hours. Really pleased for you.

SillyOldBag

Thankyou

I tried to embarrass my daughter by doing the happy dance on her school oval when I collected her from school. I should have known she had no shame I don't know where she gets that from!
