I HAS A JOB!!!
Nov. 8th, 2007 04:22 pmMan, it's been a while since I actually updated people on my life. Guess that's kinda what happens when you get busy!
Well, in the past few months since I did a life update, There's been lots and lots of changes. For example, today I just finished my last exam. Hopefully, this is the very last exam I'll ever be doing for uni - I'll be graduating at the end of the year! Yay!
In related news, this means that my current job has kinda stopped for the year, and in fact, I won't be eligible for the job for next year, since it's a student-only position. Thus, for the past couple of weeks, I've been desperately seeking other employment. I ended up looking at two possible jobs, one was a face-to-face sales/marketing role for a sales/marketing outsourcing company, and other was as a Telstra phone monkey. I just got a call today to confirm that I actually got the Telstra job!
This is rather exciting for me, because it's the first time that I've ever had a full time job, EVAR. After a few quick off-the-cuff calculations, I've figured that I'll be zooming from my $200/week previous job to a $700+/week new position. With leave and sick days! And penalty Rates! So. Very. AWESOME!!! It means I'll actually have disposable money to spend on stuff other than living, which is a very new experience for me. I'm already mentally spending the first few paychecks, which I probably shouldn't do, but is kinda hard not to. After all, what good is money if you can't spend it?
So yes, rather exciting, really. The only real downside is that it's a full time job, so I probably won't be spending a lot of time around the place now. Not that I was spending that much time around the place anyway, but it was nice having free time to spend in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

So, yeah. The last few weeks have seen me be exceptionally busy and move very quickly out of University mode and right into Life mode. I'm quite looking forward to it, really.
