Progress
Things that have been achieved in the last few days:
1) Pay rise! The one I mentioned about a month ago? We finally got the backpay, and after tax and a nice hefty chunk of HECS debt got taken out (I can't believe I'm still paying for university! They should have a scheme where you only have to pay if your course actually gets you a job :P), I still have $500 extra this pay. And apparently there's some more to come in a fortnight. I'm also on a massive $18.28 an hour, go me!
2) Phone! It was there when I went to pick it up! So now I have somewhere to pre-program my most-frequently called numbers and I can return Peta's loaner phone to her.
3) Bike delivery! I've gotten both parental bikes down to the ex's workplace bike shop for sale and they're now out of my hands.
Things yet to be achieved:
1) Haircut! Well, a trim, any way. My fringe is driving me insane.
2) Bed! With my bonus, I'm planning to go out and purchase myself a bed. Haven't done it so far because I keep having stuff to do on weekends.
3) Karate! I meant to go tonight, really I did. Only fate and the Pill has it that Wednesday is also First Day of Period Day, and I was on front counter duty. The two do not make a good combination. Monday, I swear.
4) Jobs! More applications to do, coutesy of [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], and I also intend to scope out possibilities for weekend/evening work to aid me in my quest for Dexcon this year. I'm feeling my luck has changed, so it's a good time to do it.
5) Food! For I am starved.

Hmm... I'll be there if you go... :P
Re:
Karate training
Btw, have you read Lois Bujold McMaster? (ie. did PollyMel convert you during NYE?)
Re: Karate training
No, I haven't, and no, she didn't. Care to swap for more Gaiman? If you're not busy during the week we could do lunch sometime, maybe next Friday?
Re: Karate training
I'm working at Royal Melbourne Hospital for the next couple of weeks, but could definitely take a long lunch sometime. (I'm on a casual rate, so it doesn't really matter when I work.) Do you have much of a lunch break?
Mmm... I will indeed bring your Gaiman back. I'm beginning to start craving the graphic novels! :)
And I like the Endless... they're nice people. Or at least, interesting.
