We're in Melbourne now. Have spent the past three days packing, and driving and unpacking and putting things together and cleaning and vacuuming and hooray, it's all done! I can now sleep in my own comfy bed now instead of on the futon. We've also moved the computer desk out of the room and upstairs to my parents room, so now it can officially be called 'ours'. It's a good feeling.
The job interview didn't go that well, but to be honest, I wasn't all that surprised. It did sound a bit too good to be true, and they were after someone with way more Flex capabilities than I have. I was a little upset afterwards - mainly at myself for not being as prepared as I should have been, but I'm over it now. I know I wasn't right for it, and I accept this. Looking at Seek there are a couple of other jobs out there that are Flex-focused. I'll be in job hunting mode over the weekend. Big Al has also offered a head hunter type person to help me out. He helped him out alot when he was living in Canada - we shall see how this goes.
Aaron has had his moments adjusting. It was a little upsetting seeing him so sad. He also managed to hit a tree with the truck we hired and from what I hear, it put a substantial dent in it. Not exactly great as Overhead Damage is not covered by the insurance. Grrr! It wasn't like the tree was obvious either, it barely comes out over the road, but it nabbed the truck anyway. Needless to say that didn't help his mood. He seems to have perked up now that our room is mostly set up.
Anyhoo, it's time to drink beer and eat lots of Chinese food.
