>Finally my break to make up for some of the money I have flittered away these last three months. I’m just back from Hay’s office where I seemed to have made an impression after completeing 3 days work in 1 day. Before I could be confirmed to start my new role courtesy of Hay’s I had to take a little test today. I was given 15 or so numbers and the same in names and asked to put them in order; numbers lowest to highest (numbers were 6 digits long) and names alphabetical. Polished up in around 5 mins and scored highly, with only two names out of place thanks to me not being a librarian and thinking clearly that the c in McDonald is ignored when alphabetising, and that in double barrel names it is the letter before the hyphen which takes precedence. I know that now 😀 Crux of it is I qualify and start work Tuesday, initially for 2 weeks, but its a rolling contract and they have people there already who have been working for 5-6 weeks. I just have to learn to pace myself and not do everyone else out of a job as well as me this time :p I don’t think it’s possible as I’m told its quite a large archiving process.

Emma arrives tomorrow morning for 4 days, so I get to spend some time showing her the few sights of Adelaide. I might hire a car for the weekend. I went to dinner last night with a friend then we drove to the Adelaide Hills, near Mnt Lofty. At night the hills are unimpressive until you decsend back in to Adelaide. If only I had thought to take my bloody camera! The view of Adelaide at night was amazing! A completely flat landscape littered with tiny lights as far the the eye could see. The CBD was clearly visible with only a few high rise buildings extending above the carpet of LEDs. It’s a must for a photo opportunity, and so far the best view I’ve had of Adelaide. After we stopped by the beach for a while, and it was refreshing to sit along the promenade at midnight where the temperature was a comfortable 19.5C! The second best view I had was when I looked up and saw the sky littered with stars. Not for a long time have I witnessed such a spectacle to marvel at.
