Oh hey blog thread, I have actual blog that is not bitching about my appearance.
I just found out that my work is sending me to Auckland, New Zealand, for three days at the end of the month to help set up our new office. There will be little time for recreation but I have never been paid to go anywhere before and the fact that this involves a passport and planes and my own posh hotel room and extra money for expenses is pretty damned exciting.

seriously, tomorrow i'm gonna wake up early and write the fuck outta this paper. i'll make you proud jc. you'll see

Today has been a good day.
I got a day off from uni because my entire class finished our counselling skills demonstrations last week so we didn't have to come in (and that is the only class I have today). I spent the morning hanging out with Rizzo and Ingelise, then in the afternoon I finished my Theory and Practice of Psychological Assessment and Intervention assessment. It's still needs some reformatting and a bit of editing but I can do that tomorrow after class and before it is due (5pm).
Also today I discovered that there was a sale on at Game, trade in any two games and buy selected games for $1. I traded in some shit games and got Mass Effect 2 and Dante's Inferno. I am looking forward to my week off from uni next week in our new apartment because holy god Mass Effect 2.

Woo!

Oh hey Ally, I'm getting paid to go places with my new job too! I haven't even started yet and they're already sending me to Manly (about half an hour away

) for some kind of team event thing over night. Cool.

No thanks Harry, I would like to keep my awesome job that likes me enough to pay me to go on holiday.
If you can find a proper job for Max in Melbourne, however, I would consider it.

You Australians seem to move a lot. I'm guessing you don't have to sign year long leases then? Is it a weekly thing or monthly thing?

Nope, we tend to sign 1 year leases? But people also move in and out of shared houses.

Lines · « **Reply #416 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 05:50 »

Oh ok. I've known people to rent houses as well, but it's usually it's year to year as well, so that's what was confusing me.

Inlander · « **Reply #417 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 06:24 »

Yeah the first person to move into a sharehouse will have to sign a lease with the agent but after that it's not uncommon at all for people to move in and out without ever bothering to sign a lease and with the agent turning a blind eye.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #418 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 10:25 »

Yeah I'm still not completely sure if I ever ended up getting on my old sharehouse's lease because our agent was a lazy jerrrrrk. I guess I'll find out when I try to get a lease of my own I guess?!

Also, I am pretty sure that I am going to have to stay overnight in Seattle before getting on the train. The bus I'm looking at taking arrives in Seattle at 1615 on Wednesday the 20th of July and the train for SF departs at 0945 the next day. Any Seattle people around, wanna hang out for a night?

I'm not actually leaving for nearly a week, but since I go away for five days tomorrow morning, I need to get this done now. I HATE PACKING SO MUCH.

Whatever happened to uh, what was his name there? Chuck? I think he lived in Seattle.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #424 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 12:00 »

was he from seattle? i thought he was from idaho or something....that might have been someone else, i dunno

nick lives in seattle. And i live in alger which is about an hour and a half north of seattle, right next to I-5. you could swing by on your way down, if you're coming from canada like i assume you are

....if you're into trees and kittens and ropeswings and getting high, then yeah....you should probably roll up. if you dislike and/or hate these things then maybe skip it. there's an excellent view of puget sound up this little mountain right down the street, i always take out of towners there because it's really beautiful

David_Dovey · « **Reply #425 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 12:09 »

Oh well yeah just f.y.i I don't need a place to stay, there's a hostel that's 19 minutes walk away from the station that I'm going to stay at. It's called The Green Tortoise Hostel and it's right near the Pike Place Market. Mostly I was just seeing if people wanted to hang out, because I like forum people and I like hangouts.

Dan I am totally into all of those things, like, a lot, but how easy would it be to get to Alger and then back into Seattle for my train the next morning?

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #426 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 12:12 »

not all that easy. like i said, it's an hour and a half drive, although there are buses that regularly make the trip now that i think about it

how are you getting to seattle? i just assumed you would be driving south on I-5 from BC (in which case you could just swing by) but if you're coming to seattle from elsewhere then...yeah, i dunno

David_Dovey · « **Reply #427 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 12:15 »

Greyhound, from Banff via (I'm assuming) Vancouver.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #428 on:** 12 Apr 2011, 14:09 »

you could always take a bus to Mount Vernon (where there is a pretty serious grehound station) or Bellingham (i assume they have bus stations too, I don't know for 100% certain though), hang out for a while, then catch a bus to seattle later....if you were so inclined.

never ridden greyhound before so i'm not really sure how it works; like if taking two buses would be significantly more expensive than just taking one the same distance, or what

anyway, i'm native to the mt vernon/skagit valley/bellingham area so anywhere within that bubble i can pretty easily pick you up and show you around for a while

we can look at trees and be confused by each other's accents, it'll be awesome

Yeah Linds, I have been in sharehouses for the past couple of years. It is tough. I hate relying on other people and getting fucked over. I've only been at this house two months, and they begged me to move in.
Max has taken it really welll and is on the warpath to get a crappy crappy job today so that he can make money so that we have kitchen sex whenever the damn hell ass we feel like it.
Also my cat peed one one of my housemate's beds last night and Max was super happy and gave Tiger an extra long chin scratch.

Okay it's a shit of a place to move to but once you've fought the obligatory half-dozen rounds of thunderdome to win yourself a house it's ace.

Unless you're out in, like, Dandenong or something, but who the fuck lives out there?!
