She's only happy in the Sun.
Some good news, I suppose. It is strange, sometimes things are just happening, and sometimes you can't cut a break when you want it. I guess I'm at a pretty fortunate time of life, all things considered.
The government job that I applied to earlier in the year has "let" me through to go to the next stage. An online numerical and literacy test. Given my experience, I think that this is kinda funny. The only way that it could be better for me would be if they where doing Raven's Matracies, at which I kick total ass.
What this means in real terms is that since I am more than likely to meet criteria for both these tests (unless they have insanely high standards, which would make the psychometrics of the position completely insane). So afterwards, there is entry to the next phase, which would seem to be the final stage, which is interviews. I would have expected there to be some group testing, but perhaps not. I'm not that worried, I suppose, since I'm pretty happy with my performance in either. What can I say, I'm a delight!
Then again, this will be the first ever interview that I have for a serious job. I've done other interviews for other things, and I've always gotten through. I mean ALWAYS. So I'm not sure how I will take a rejection from this particular job.
Speaking of jobs, I needed a job before going to Mexico, and as usual, one has just landed from the sky. A 20+ hour job in Darlingharbour.... doing.... wait for it.... it is suspensful one.......... bartending. Well, it isn't perfect, but it will tide me over for a while. And extra money is extra good, specially with the trip upcoming.
After thursday's reckless spending of money that I clearly do not have, I will need to watch my expenditure.
Man... I'm saying words like expenditure. These are subtle reminders that I am getting towards old-fart stage of life.
