lulz.
Bought a shovel, a big shovel, I picked shovels based on their big-ness, I hate piddly litte kit, we ain't all 3 and a half feet tall you fuckers! *cough* anyway, so after picking my shovel, based on shaft length, I took the little cutey out for a spin, was epic, I could operate that shit with my back straight, slight dip in the knees to get the sucka moving, apply a bit of the 'ole leverage, WHA PAH! Shifted about a cube of earth in a little under an hour. Fuck yea, <3 my shovel. |

Thanks ! I'm trying to resist celebrating too early, but once the ink has dried along that dotted line ...

just out of interest, did you put all your hopes on this job when you met them, or did you continue searching for work regardless?
I have a partial gear oil / grind. Got a client and we've met, discussed, and settled on an hourly rate; there is the promise of a hell of a lot of good work to do for them. But the first little batch of work hasn't been sent through for me to quote on. The wait is killing me, and restrain myself from calling them and demanding to know when and how they will set me a task. Of course, I am still keeping the applications flowing and am putting my resume / cover letters out to many, many places. But I do just wish the good work with the good company would just begin. This here is the longest I have not worked: one month. It feels very weird, and I suppose as a freelancer I will need to get used to this feeling.

I was in exactly the same boat - got here March 24th, was still looking for work up until yesterday when the initial offer was made. Longest I've ever been out of work, and the bank account reflects it >_<
I initially only went through one recruiter, but then decided that if I wanted faster results, I had to spread the load a bit. Went through two additional recruitment companies, while advising the first guy. He wasn't happy about it, but at the end of the day, if he wants the money he gets from finding me a position, he's gonna have to earn it. He was a great guy to deal with, and I'm quite glad he is the one who found me this role. I wouldn't put all your proverbial eggs in one basket - at the end of the day, you're a dollar figure to a recruiter, and it's not wise to pin all your hopes on one single position. |

Got a new report this week, she's a PhD candidate and her intellect is fucking ginormous .. which is great because as they say, hire people smarter than you (not difficult to do in my case). Gears well oiled.

my macbooke blacke is more or less limping along at nearly 7 years old, it just needs to hold out till the new aires are released. The hdd was fucked, seek speeds had dropped like the bass at a dubstep show.
friend that works at a computer shop had a whole batch of WD blue 320gb drives, gave me one for $40. Chucked it into the macbook, reinstalled os-x off a USB drive, chucked my old drive into a caddy and used the migration tool to copy everything off my old drive. I sort of expected it to go like the xp/7 migration tool which more or less automates copy/pasting your documents and such across. Opened chrome, the same tabs I had open when I shutdown to install the hdd reopened. All apps copied across. All settings, everything. Aside from the extra capacity you could not tell that it was a different HDD. Fuck I love apple. Also my macbook is a tonne faster now too, and has double the hdd capacity now.

My dad coming down for the weekend to help with a bunch of stuff oils my gears. Got HUGE amounts done.
Our family friend who is finishing off painting our house at mate's rates going from 'too busy, maybe next week' to turning up on the weekend to paint when I offered him my old Golf instead of the agreed moneys oils my gears. Who knew a VW is better than cash? A buddy who works for Sony sussing out a replacement for my dad's lemon Sony e-reader, so he doesn't need to deal with Noel Leeming's crappy support oils my gears. I am black and blue, cut up, and aching like hell from hauling huge rocks, fighting blackberry, and cleaning out our copious flax plantation, but am very happy

Having my girlfriend's father work for a skip company that delivers skips to wealthy areas OMG.
So far, we have acquired a dyson vacuum, a lawnmower, a weed wacker, a full set of golf clubs, and a golf bag & trundler. That's only the stuff he's given to us that we have accepted - whole bunch of other stuff that he has or we didn't want (Ski's, hockey sticks, motorised scooter/bike thing, surfboards...) And these aren't shitty things that are 50 years old. Some needed a little clean up but that's it - they all work sweet. One man's rubbish.... |

My old man likes trains.
Apparantly his granddad was a conductor or something back in the day (read '50s) and would spot him tickets to Kiakoura for the day and stuff. And he'd kick around the Linwood shunting yards after school as was the fashion in the day, to see the locos at work. OSH hadn't been invented, and death by misadventure was an occupoational hazard of growing up. Rumour has is he tried out to be a driver but there was an issue with a stop bank or something, so he fell back to accounting. So anyway, he got old this year, so one of my brothers suggested we take him out for lunch. I met #2 bro at Addington, and we boarded the Tranzalpine around 8:00am. The others (Bro #4 & #5) hopped on at Rollie with the old chap, and much fun followed. So we stopped at Springfield, and Cass, and all the tourists took picture of this: Cass, population, about 1. Then we got the Arthurs Pass, had another stretch, then mongered on to Greymouth. Dad slipped out a half dozen Stella, which was very sneaky for an old chap, and so I countered with a 12year old Glenmorangie Nectar D'or, and much fun was had. The most acedemically qualified of the group showed his awesomness by trying to order a Monteiths at the Speights Ale house when we stopped for lunch. Much more ale was had on the return trip, and the stories got bluer and more reflective. It was like a Hallenstiens ad. Pity #3 son couldn't be there, but he hangs out in p0is0ntown and hasn't renewed his passport. Good times. Hmm - I'm picking #5 is standing in a hole which makes me the shortest - maybe I've started to shrink. Big ups to the driver who dropped his lunch (literally - on the side of the train, not fartingly) to take our pic. |
