Heyya!
Hrmm today I got payed for having fun! I'll be working in the Bond exhibit in the Science Museum starting this weekend... it'll be great! The training today was a bit of a joke... It involved walking around the museum, going on a couple of rides, watching an IMAX movie - about the only serious stuff I learned was how to issue tickets and where the emergency exits were! People seem to be so slack here! Taking tons of breaks, walking around... At least it should be busier on the weekend when I'm working!
I just got a call from Jan, the principal at the school where I'm working next year. I'll be heading in tomorrow (on the long tram ride again) to have a meeting with her, to grab some resources to read as well. I still don't know how much I'm getting paid exactly, but I'll be able to survive on the rough amount I've been told. I'm even considering doing weekends at the museum and full time at the school! Hrmm not sure if I'm that motivated yet!
OK... 10 mins of net access left. I should be leaving another message (or 5) here before christmas... if not have a safe & merry Christmas and festive season! Roll on 2003! (errr I'll probably be working new years day!).
Cheers!

Posted by: candace on December 26, 2002 08:02 PMHaha, dodgy is Sam's all encompassing word for "somethings not quite right here"... i.e: that food smells a bit dodgy... that was some dodgy parking, that chick is really dodgy (possibly promiscuous)... etc.
And whilst i've been trying to ween him off it, he seems to persist, and now be inflicting it on the world :) What a cultural ambassador we have... go Sambo :)
ciao all.

Haha...
Candace and I had this discussion in real life Matty... she's just joking.
possibly promiscuous - is dodgey? I didn't know that was your philosophy man!
Haha you also tried to ween me off the word "Supper"... huhh? Well here you have a pint not supper so maybe I'll be converted in the end... still not used to the whole beer drinking culture though.
Just promise you'll catch me if I say "Cheers" too much on my next visit to Oz!
