The only way is up!

Just thought I should post a quick update on how things are going on the job/interview front.

I was told at the interview (for Senior Job) I would hear in 3-4 weeks...4 weeks is right about now. I know the jobs haven't been announced yet, but I'm starting to lose hope.

On the upside, I did get an interview for Job and will be flying to Brisbane next Thursday for it. So I still have reason to think we could be living in Brisbane by the end of the year.



As for SJ, the job he was hoping to get in Brisbane is looking less and less likely. Word is that they're still waiting to confirm funding for it, but with every week that passes and the way the economy is looking it seems less and less likely. Not looking good for him.

And worst of all? He lost his job as a bike courier yesterday. There wasn't enough work to go around and he was the latest hired and the one not interested in making a career out of it...

Trying to stay positive about everything, yesterday was a bit of a tough day though (didn't help that I got a work related call at 4:45am!).

Trying to remind myself that it can't get much worse from here, even if I don't get job in Brisbane and SJ doesn't get the job he wants. We won't be any worse off than we are right now.

I hope.

  3. Fingers and toes crossed. If you get the other job in Bris will you guys still move back? I thought I remember you saying SJ's opportunities were better up there?
