Anyway, I hope this isn't just a fleeting visit. This place could use another familiar face around here. It has been pretty dead around here as of late...
Bit over a year. She just couldn't get any work locally (finance/business degree) so she moved and I followed. One of the perils of having a partner who makes twice what I do.
I don't mind it - Melbourne (population: about four and a half million) is a much larger city than where I'm from originally (Adelaide, population about a million) and the weather is terrible but its nice to actually live in a proper city rather than an overgrown country town.
Heh, yeah I don't think I would be able to stand living in a city that big. The place you moved from has about four times the population of the city I'm in. Even then I think it's too many people.
There must always be something going on as in a city that big. Any good job opportunities?
Not really. There's a lot of jobs going, but there's also a fuckton of people going for them.
And, to be brutally honest, I'm really not making climbing the ladder a big priority in my life. I've got a job that pays the bills and lets me leave the crap behind at knockoff time - and living with someone who's job is so stressful he practically has panic attacks on a weekly basis, well, I kinda think I made the right choice there. Same thing with my family, my dad spent years doing dual jobs or working overtime but I don't see the point in putting in huge hours if its not gonna get me anything I care about. My mum raised me on a disability pension, so my standards for 'good enough' are pretty low in any case.
Tomorrow is my last day at my current job. Thursday I start anew.
Hypnos is back, i'm surprised.
