Misadventures In Wellington

Well then. Haven't been updating much, due to running around and applying for jawbs and settling into Wellington and all things fun and exciting. So in easy to read numeric list form:

1) Date for Dan In Wellington Party is going to change to coincide with my flatmate Richard's birthday. Closer to the 29th of this month. I will inform the masses once a date is settled upon.

2) Applied for a helpdesk phone monkey job with Misc Bank Co™* which initially went very well. I had a face to face interview today and got a phonecall not 3 hours later, saying they liked me very much and were impressed with what I had to say, but weren't going to offer me a position on account of me a) being overqualified b) likely getting bored very quickly and c) unable to honestly say I'd want to make a career out of that kinda job. I candidly told the guy that I couldn't really disagree with any of that, and he wished me all the best with finding a job in my actual field. Ah well.

2A) Have also applied for many actual design jobs over the course of the last X weeks. Have only been rejected by one so far, which was a job so far back in the misty reaches of last month I could barely recall applying for it, so I have MANY MORE REJECTIONS TO GO. Whoo!

3) Vanessa's graduation party is tomorrow night. Trundling around to Tamsyn's flat tonight to help with gardening and moving things around and being a useful manly person.

4) I have joined a fortnightly gaming group at Jarrod and Steph's place. Huzzah! Currently it's being ran by Andy, who is taking us through wacky Call of Cthulhu adventures.

5) I love living in this city. I really, really do.
