seldearKung Hei Faat Choi! Happy Chinese New Year!
The four-day weekend is gone, I know not where. And, judging by a somewhat garbled conversation I had with an agent while I was in Sydney, I may very well finish up here mid-March and find myself moving straight to Brisbane.
The M7 Orbital Road through Sydney is a wonderful, wonderful thing! 40km of gently-curving motorway, it costs me $7 in tolls, but saves me another 40 minutes driving, 40 minutes worth of stopping and starting, and 40 minutes of frustration at driving in Sydney.
Of course, 3 hours of country driving gets hypnotic after a while. I nearly dozed off at the wheel several times. As it is, I'm kinda tired right now c/o going to bed at 2am, being woken by the phone at 6am, and only managing to doze until 9am.
If you're privy to my writing journal, when you get a chance, please go and read the excerpt I posted and let me know your thoughts. I really would appreciate input on this - first impressions, etc.
Okay, I think some dinner is in order, then a squidge of writing, then sleep.

What's the other part of the reason you're moving there?

Someone made us a new header! Do you like it?

Date: 2006-01-30 12:55 am (UTC)The colours are bit darker than I like (or it might just be the screen I'm on). Have you already installed it and changed the colour scheme or is this the 'letting you know we're about to make changes' notification?

Date: 2006-01-30 02:09 am (UTC)It's not too dark on my screen, darker than what we have but not too dark I don't think...
What colour scheme do you think we should have?

Date: 2006-01-30 02:21 am (UTC)If you have time, fiddle around with it. Otherwise I'll go in and make some changes tonight.

Date: 2006-01-30 12:34 am (UTC)I'm hoping for a week's respite so I can sort things out before I get my ass up to Brisbane.
I can see that even if I don't go travelling this year, I'll still be travelling...
At least it won't be summer in Brisbane...
no subject
Date: 2006-01-30 12:36 am (UTC)And money! Hopefully it'll be easier to find acc. with a three month contract, as well!
no subject
Date: 2006-01-30 12:38 am (UTC)If all else fails, I know people who know people who might have somewhere to crash for at least a few nights.
Now we just have to hope that they're not going to be pissed off that I'm not available until the 27th, when they thought they'd have me on the 13th.
