This is a simultanious Goodbye and Hello & Welcome post.
We are packed and watching the clock as we’re flying out tonight at 2:10am.

Hello loyal and devoted Sam Murray fans, lovingly gazing at my writing like you’re gazing into a beautiful sunset after smoking a bag of opium.

This was one of those pre-requisites that I needed to do to complete applications for work up north as I need the ability to drive a car when I’m being flown in, and walking from my Donga to the cleaning closet and then to the Dongas.
Anyway. Car’s are crap. They [...]

It’s a bizarre thing, you know the rules instinctually (almost all the rules) and for that reason, people think you’re a bit of a retard studying English grammar but it’s not the grammar that’s tough necessarily, it’s putting names to everything you use daily. I don’t just mean [...]

Woah!! what a day, Sam sped us down the freeway early this morning at a rockin’ 5km an hour on his new L plates, while I bravely supervised.
Why were we battling peak hour traffic you ask?? Well, today was FIND OUT ABOUT THE MINES DAY, with compass, despite Sam’s impressive driving we arrived 10 minutes [...]

Booked our scabby, no resuscitation knowledge asses into the 2 day St John Sha-bam-bulance first aid course today.
Booked in for Feb 14th – 15th.
Won’t be the first Valentines Day Rose has spent with her lips interlocked with a rubber dummy no doubt.

Yeah. I knew they’d come CRAWLING BACK.
Employment agency got back to me. Said they want to see me on the 1st and Rose on the 7th. I told them we don’t roll that way and to make my meeting on the 7th too.
Let’s see if they got the BALLS to take me on. *flex*
Also applied [...]
