He's a cute little guy, Foul. But he's going to outgrow that dish in a hurry.

Interesting queue for Murrin. I've read Use of Weapons, The Master and Margarita, Dune and The Time Machine, out of the group.

Got the results of my psychometrics tests - I passed.

Now onto an "assessment day" in July. Consisting of , Written exercise, group exercise, role play and interview.

Seems like a long time away, but I'm sure it'll come round quickly.

All I can do is my best on the day and hope I get the job.

I'm sure that's $128 *before* the prescription, too. Jeez, what a racket.

I have tomorrow off but it's going to be a day of chores not of fun stuff. Then my next day off is Tuesday and then Friday again. I hate having split days and no weekends off. It sucks.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

First week back to work at Emmaus. After a 3 month sabbatical :shifty: (that's my story, and i'm sticking to it!)

Did some KP, and warehouse, work this week. Both involved pumping plenty iron. Feel so much better for it!

Can't wait till I get a spell in the furniture workshop. The guy that's doing furniture repair has also tried out making other things too. Like a dresser-cum-hi fi, (you'll have to use your imagination there). One of which is in the showroom. Unfortunately it hasn't been sold yet. Nevertheless, already got a few good ideas for knocking bit'n'pieces of furniture into shape. My fingers will be crossed I'll find the right sura-pa-mearl odds'n'ends...if ya get my drift!
