Refocusing

Ok, so the hot water taps are a-ok now. The real estate agent called the plumber after I rang and left a message. I was expecting a call back from John but I got a plumber calling me. That's pretty impressive. The old receptionist was bad. She never passed on the message.

I'm shifting a bit career-wise. Went to the accounting firm interview. Brought Cham along partly because I was in the middle of showing her around and partly because I was afraid it's gonna be a whole dodgy scenario again. But it was all cool. The company's smaller than I imagined and the accountants were pretty cool. Friendly in my book and willing to train people although possibly not as generous as I was hoping.

Gave them a call today to book my slot. So I'm in and I'm getting a slightly lower rate than Starbucks but I gain a lot of intangibles. My schedule with them is pretty much set. So I'm doing minimal Starbucks shifts but will continue to thrive therein. The change is nerve wracking in a sense but hey change is good.

Still nothing from my ed-in-chief. On a different note, my bank account gained a bit of weight. I am hoping for some more nutirents in the week to come.

Had a rather productive day although we didn't head out til midday. Had a fab seafood lunch at the Fish Market, went to Paddy's for Cham's souvenir shopping, over to Darling Harbour for a possible IMAX treat but ended up having ice cream on the other side of the Harbour, had a picturesque stroll around the Opera House and then caught the ferry to Milson's Point and so on til we got to St. L.

Had a lot of laughs along the way. I'm definitely slowing down bit by bit. Which is good because I'm concerned about having a nervous breakdown one day. Paranoid me at work there.

Tomorrow's visit the Aussie capital day. Should be fun.
