i just remembered i was going to tell a funny story but then i forgot to. so the title for todays entry shall be "a fun story i forgot to tell you about".
"a fun story that i forgot to tell you about"
a few weeks ago dad and i decided to go and catch a fish or two. a catch was made. but it wasnt by us. the tide caught us and we found ourselves surrounded by water on a little island. of course it wasnt an island when we walked onto it. but it quickly became one without us realising. maybe the title should be "the big catch" instead? i dont know. that might be more catchy. hahaha. okay, have obviously inherited dads humour. oops. anyway that was the story. pretty short really. but a fun story all the same and one i had wanted to share. and no real need to elaborate further unless there are questions.

and so i have a job!
because i only wanted to work until eric arrives around the middle-ish of november, i finally realised the best way to get a job was to join the temping world... so i signed up with a temp agency (drake) in west auckland, did a few tests to see how fast i can type, whether i know how to use word and excel and had an interview... and the very next day i woke to the phone ringing at 8am - did i want to start that morning on an assignment?!
im working as a receptionist for a printing business - only a ten minute drive from home - thats two sets of traffic lights, and one roundabout, no traffic, and free parking right outside on the street... so its perfect. the job is straightforward - answering phones, sorting out couriers and mail, and helping out wherever else im needed. im working 45 hours a week - and after finishing my first week, im a little tired! still, i enjoy it, its good to be earning again and getting together the funds i need for a new car. and time is ticking along a bit faster now which is good too.
so for those of you out there that are thinking about the temping business - i say, go for it! drake was founded in canada but now is a large-scale international organisation and i have been very impressed! i suppose it helped that i have nearly 5 years of secretarial skills from when i worked at auckland university, but just the professionalism and quick response has been brilliant. and money has already been deposited into my bank account!
