anonymoose_au9:43pm: Man, it's been months and I am shamed that I've neglected DW for so long! My orginal plan was to update on the new year, but er yeah...
However, today is my birthday, so I thought why not update today? Beyond that I was born some time after 9:30pm, so I am now, officially...gulp...thirty-five.
I know I'm as shocked as you are! However, I do at least have a big life event to report, with any luck tomorrow afternoon I will be receiving the keys to the apartment I have purchased (with my parents as 10% owners)!
Yes this Moose will be a home-owner! OMG, indeed!
I think I've described the place before in an earlier entry, but suffice to say I'm quite excited! There's heaps of storage and everything is nice and new. I'll definitely have to take photos to show you.
My parents and I had hoped to get the keys in time for my birthday, but alas it didn't happen and actually things are still a bit up in the air with two last documents to sign! Fingers and toes crossed it can be sorted out tomorrow morning so the keys can be in my possession in the afternoon.
Apart from that life is good, my co-workers got me a cake and a funny card, I got a Christmas Sweater Pusheen ornament for 50% off during lunchtime and I had dinner (with another cake) at a nice club with my parents and little bro this evening.
The only downside of this exciting time is that my job which I'm doing under contract will be advertised soon. With a few changes that is it'll be full-time with a higher pay rate.
Now you might think that's good news, which I guess it is sort of, except it now means that the job is a lot more attractive and competition for it could be quite tough.
The Collections Assistant job is also coming up again, which I'm also planning on going for...but it's less hours and less pay, which is a bit of a worry with the apartment and all.
But, Mum and I are going to work hard at polishing up the resume and my interview presentation. Plus I'm going to keep a record of what I'm doing that fullfills the selection criteria. So more fingers and toes crossed :O)
Ok, better wrap up here since I am sleepy (I woke up an hour too early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep).
Goodnight all!
PS. Oh! I almost forgot, the big bro and his family called me from Japan which was super nice. :O) My neice wished me a happy birthday!
