Pieces falling into place.

[deathpixie]

So, I finally got through to the State Training Officer yesterday (the person in charge of telling us where we're working) and it turns out the DoJ is determined to have me leave. Why, do you ask? Because come January, I'm going to be working in PERIN Court. PERIN, for those who have not the foggiest (and I'm expecting it to be pretty much everyone) is the Penalty Enforcement arm of the DoJ. Which means I'll be involved in chasing up unpaid fines.

See me dance for joy, not.

But, in the meantime, since PERIN is moving buildings from one inner-city location to another, I'll be at Melbourne Magistrates'. In the Criminal registry, but the looks of it. So I'll have some relatively-interesting work to do for the next month, and it's just around the corner from Phil's place, which will be my temporary refuge until I can find one of my own.

Speaking of which, should check the online real estate site again and do some emails. After I shower. :)

So, it's the inner city for me, at least until I get a better job, which you'd better believe I'm going to be looking for. There's a promotion going at Sunshine Court I've already put in an expression of interest for, and once the house situation is settled, I can start searching in earnest. Motivation, you see - PERIN is going to eat my brain.

I'm heading down to Melbourne on Thursday evening, for work on Friday, then going back to Wodonga on the Tuesday evening (Christmas Eve). Then hopefully back to work on the Monday, after pulling a sickie (actually, it's impossible for me to be back at work that Friday, which the way the trains run) to see The Two Towers with Dad. Yep, Australia's drawn the short stick again - it's not released until the 26th December. Bugger.

Other than that, life continues apace. Slowly developing films (with the help of my brother, who paid for three as my Chrissie present), recovering sleep and trying to get my act together. Bike cleaning and grandmother-in-hospital-visiting today.

And on that note, I'm off to have that shower. Not that there's much point - it's already close to thirty degrees Celcius, with a predicted high of somewhere in the 40s. After 40.1 yesterday. *sighs* But it's a dry heat. *grins*

Hey. You. :) Want a phone call sometime? Let me know what your schedule's like...:)

*hugs*

[deathpixie]

Phone call would be muchly welcomed - and I'm not really doing much over the next couple of days except pottering around the folks' place. So whatever works for the time difference, until (our) Thursday, any way. :) *hugs*

Any chance for that beta? *grins*

Re: *kitty eyes*

[deathpixie]

I'll try and have a go at it today, how's that? Sorry, it slipped my mind. *hides*

*grins* No worries, e-mail me at my yahoo account once you get it done. As from Friday I won't be in the country anymore. *grins widely and bounces* I get to see snow soon!

Farewells

Hey gorgeous, I'm going to have farewell drinks on Friday night at the Lounge after 6.30. Wanna come? :)

Re: Farewells

[deathpixie]

Sounds cool to me - email me a phone number I can get you on? And remind me where the Lounge is again? It's been a while. ;)

Re: Farewells

Try 0402 137 293 or 9885 6943. If you ring home, you're likely to get a message machine though. The Lounge is on Swanston, a little bit north from the Little Bourke intersection, up the stairs. :)

It'd be great to see you.

Re: Farewells

[deathpixie]

I'll be there. With a couple of phone numbers for you, too. *grins* @

[obsidian179.livejournal.com]

So you currently don't have an address I can reach you at? Damn. And I was going to send you a Christmas card, too. :( *g*

[Guess an E-card'll have to do, huh? ^_^]

*pokes*

[deathpixie]

Go back about three posts and you'll find a Friends locked one containing my parents' address, where I can be contacted at. Even if I'm not here when something arrives, they'll let me know.

It's good to know you're back in town. Lots of luck and prayers on the job hunt. Come on back to chat as soon as you can.

[deathpixie]

I was in chat yesterday, but since this is the parental phone line and they have lives, I can't tie it up too much chatting. Give me a couple of weeks, until I get my own place, okay?
