Life falls together..
I have had a very satisfying week.
Last week was my birthday. My parents, gave me perhaps the best present I have ever had. A return trip to Australia. It's difficult to explain just why it is so good. It just is.
Soph gave me a fossil big tic watch, which though I really really liked, I swapped for something very slightly more casual. The picture I think is the one that she gave me. I can't find a picture of my new one. I love it regardless.
Finally a last birthday mention goes to the incredible amount of people who turned up at reasonably short notice for my night out. I was expecting about 6 of us, and I think at one point there were double that, together with people coming and going at different times. It was really apreciated :)
The day after my birthday my life became very much brighter. I had a job interview on the Thursday, which went well, and was called up for another interview too. By next Tuesday I had been offered two jobs, and was at the second interview stage for another. So after accepting one of the jobs, I resigned from my current job on Thursday, and am now working my notice, waiting to start my first real proper job, with a fast growing reputable service company to the oil industry. So much for Australia, for the time being I'm staying here - but thankfully this time it's for the right reasons of beginning a career.
The same day Soph was also offered a job in Aberdeen. While hers is not directly career related, she does seem very enthusiastic about starting.
What a difference ten days make.
