Pleasant

More details about the new job came through today. I am going to be based in flagstaff, arizona and working at an old usa training site. Apparently temperatures over there are not above zero at this time of year so i was told to pack my ‘warm winter woolies’.

For part of the job, I have to complete an OHS course where part of it is web based and part is practical based. The web based part takes 32 hours! I need to have it done before the 7th which is when I am flying to brisbane :-)

I put my passport application in today. I rocked up to the passport office a touch b4 nine to see Ian waiting patiently there for them to open.

I also had a BBQ today which was nice. Sat around in the sun eating and drinking with friends – what a nice way to spend the afternoon :-) To top the day off, it was off to the taste. I enjoyed lime and rasberry varieties of beers and a lovely rasberry sundae.

Holy Crap

I was finishing up @ work today when I reached for my mobile and I noticed a missed call from an 07 number. 07 = queensland = g-tek. I also had a msg to call a mobile so I did and I found myself talking to some guy (forgot his name) from G-Tek.

I have been offered a job with G-Tek commencing as early as January 5. I will be going to brisbane initially but will be soon jetting off to arizona, usa if I can get my passport in order.

My life now has a path, I am an employed Geophyicist, I have a proper job. Blowout

Good Day!

Hello!

I had a good day today. The G-Tek interview went really well. John was really nice – the interview went for almost 2 hours but it did not seem no where near that long. Hopefully hear something soon!

It is airlee’s birthday today too, I got here the cutest bunnie! It is gorgeous! We went out to dinner @ the drunken admiral which was nice.

Scientists have been able to use body scan like technology to see inside the earth at mantle plumes. They found plumes correlated with known hot spots like hawaii.. worth a read :-)

Hello!

I got four copies of my thesis to the binder this morning. There are for the companies that sponsored the project :D Very nice to have that out of the way

Our ADSL churn has gone through and we are now on netspace :D :D More megs :D Thats why the site was down yesterday.

I have been working a bit in the last week or so. Nice pay. Worked at a Tandy store yesterday – a lot easier than Dick Smith!
