Good news: we've found somewhere new to live! Actually, we were quite lucky as we liked the first place we looked at last Sat. It's a similar kind of place to the English Lodge, we have our own room with bed, fridge, sink, TV, wardrobes, but we have to share kitchen and bathroom. The place is in Randwick which is near Coogee, the beach town that we stayed in in March. So, it's only a fairly short walk to the nearest bit of sea and sand :) . Anyway, even though our new place is very basic, it looks clean, well cared for and it has a little garden that you can sit in, plus the rent is pretty cheap. We're hoping to stay in the new place until the end of June - third time lucky..?
Jamie has had more luck with getting work this week. He's on the books for two separate warehouse-based jobs, so that has provided more work opportunities. One of the jobs is at Toys R Us and the other is at an electronics company, where he mainly has to pack stuff in boxes. He says his jobs are ok, just very repetitive.
My current job at Adcorp finishes next Tuesday, so I'm relying on the agency to find me a new role for when I've finished. It's been a nice place to work, the people are very friendly, always asking "How you going?" and the work has been ok I guess. It's been interesting to use new computer systems, like I've been testing a system called Connect2 that you can use as a template for adverts in newspapers and brochures. But, to be honest, I've often found myself with nothing to do (like now!) which can be frustrating. So I've been surfing the 'net quite a lot and at least when I'm typing away on this blog or an email, it looks like I'm working to any passing managers. When I first started here, I was told that the girl who did my job before me was actually sacked because other staff complained that she never did any work and that she would often sit and read a book. Can you blame her?? So I'm sticking with surfing the 'net - less obvious methinks.
