Melbourne Update

SO we have settled into Melbourne. We have moved into the new place and I'm looking for a job. Had my first interview today, which was no fun. That was with a recruitment agency. They made me do a test in MS Word and a typing test and a data entry test. Now as much as I hate doing tests in the first place you have to understand how impossible it is to moivate yourself to do one on something you have no interest in. One of the questions was how to copy and paste. Turns out though that I can type at 40 words per minute. Although I think that I normally type faster than that.

Other than that, there hasn't been a whole lot happening here. The AFL Grand final was on at the weekend, which was a complete disappointment. Geelong won by 119 points, and some thought the All-Ireland final was one sided. Stayed up last night too to watch the Irish game. Now I know why I haven't bothered until now. Would hate to have seen what would happen against New Zealand if we did get through. Would be nice if O'Gara hadn't forgotten how to kick a ball, and Murphy should just go now and hang himself. He's not even good enough to be a Pirate Hooker!

Its Jonny's birthday on Sunday so we are having a few people around on Saturday night for a few beers. That should be a good laugh. Not that we know many people to invite around but there might be one or 2 who are interested. Joe had a date last night so I went in to the casino with him to run interference on the girls friend who was there. Never seen a place like it. Slot machines everywhere. Pokies or whatever they're called over here. Also they had bars, restaurants and shops in the place. It was massive. Its a huge complex.

We have been renting out loads of DVDs too. Never watched so many films. Got a few gems out tonight too, including Ace Ventura, pet detective. Have to love that!!
