Finally managed to get a photo from Dad in China (apparently, communication doesnt always work as we expect it to) today, so it's now posted on his own online diary. More are still to come, but for now,
An Aussie Mandarine

My job with the AEC started today, unexpectedly. This is a good thing... more money, quicker. Seems I caught them right at the end of a pay cycle, so my first paycheque is... tomorrow! Yay! This will go a long way to funding my new habit of buying (and spending...) phone cards.
Now if only I could get to some high speed internet and upload all those photos...

The job search is going rather well, after a slight hiccup before I'd even started.
Once I had a new ink cartridge and some fresh resumes, off I set to trawl the shops in Sale to convince someone to give me money. All day spent wearing the tread off my shoes, I get home exhausted, to a phone call from the electoral commission.
I get to count your votes! After Australia decides to either watch John Howard's eyebrows grow another three years, or finds out what interesting caricature can be made of Mark Latham (who sent me a letter today), I become part of the team that finds out which way the great unwashed have voted. Yay!

One day this week too I will go somewhere where I can use high speed internet, and upload all the rest of the photos I have been needing to for ages. Photos from Tiea and Evan's wedding, from Cincinnati, from inside various airports and aeroplanes across America (including the eskys and lunch boxes American Airlines use instead of in flight meal service these days).

I got a job! Yay!
