and we have jobs!

[seldear]

B1 received an offer for a permanent role! YAY!

Said role is in Goulburn, 3 hours out of Sydney. Hmm...

It's a bit of a bummer, but I think it will be useful in developing more independence in her. It won't be easy for the twins, they've almost always been together, never lived in cities for long periods of time, but this is a good solid job, and Goulburn is a lovely town. A bit on the chilly side, maybe, but then, so is Canberra. Anyway, it's a permanent role, and if she does that for a year, she'll have some experience beneath her belt and be able to apply for more jobs. As long as she can cope with the lonely. The lonely will be a problem.

So we have the stepbro1 in Albury, B1 in Goulburn, myself in Wollongong...temporarily... Okay, so stepbrother2 won't be going anywhere, he's doing uni in Sydney, and there's no way they're going to get B2 out of Sydney and away from her church ministry without a crowbar or the clouds parting overhead and a voice from the heavens ordering her otherwise.

And I think have enough money to make it overseas now - that includes mortgage payments for the time I'm gone. Which is good. But I have to sort out where I'm going, when I'm going to be there, and who is going to put me up once I get there.

woo hoo! (to both B1 news and O/S $$$ news)

Well done - and before time as well! Hey, are you in Sydney this weekend?

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Yup. In Sydney. Can drop by Friday night on the way home if you're in!

[saramund.livejournal.com]

Not in Friday night - going to Lion King (again) with Chris.

Saturday night? Day is out both days, as we're cleaning. but still, want to catch up!

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Family dinner Saturday night. :-/

What's classified as 'day'?

[saramund.livejournal.com]

all day, unfortunately. In Bargo cleaning garage until about 5 or so. *pouts*

Dammit!

Bugger!

You're welcome to crash on the sleeper sofa here for a while when you're in Illinois. :)

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

I have several offers of places to crash while in IL! :)

Will you be at SqueeCon II at Aj's this year?

[havocthecat]

God, yes! I won't be nine months pregnant or suffering from a cold (the two simultaneously are deeply unpleasant), so I intend to have too much fun! And also to bring Adam and Isaac along for at least part of it to introduce them around.

And I thought you might have several crashspace offers, but offered anyway. :) Whatever works out best for you!

LOL

Such is the way when it comes to people's ministries ;)

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Take a crowbaar to get you out of yours?

[suds-from-aus.livejournal.com]

Heh, not so much for me, I'm not really dedicated to any particular one... though at if I were it could very well be true... I'm thinking more regarding some of the people I've observed and the way they clinged to their ministries tightly while they were prised out of their hands.

Funny thing is, they often seem to get them back once they're ok with them being taken away.

I'm going to be out of town starting August 4 and lasting perhaps a week. But any other time, we'd be thrilled to have you come stay with us. And if that's not possible, you WILL be at SqueeCon, won't you? :)

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Well, that's presuming they don't kick me out halfway through this job looking for someone more dedicated to the job.

However, with what I've worked so far, I can pay off my debts to the credit card companies and start at ground zero. Which is a good thing, believe me!

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Just make sure you pencil me in ;)

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

22nd or 24th Ballgame? You're in. :)

*huggles* Yay :)
