Not alot to report from Sydney at the moment. The Pope came to the city and brought 200,000 pilgrims with him. The place has been a mad house with every hotel, hostel and train full to the top for the last 7 days, but they all go home tomorrow and then there will be peace again.
I, at long last, am underway in my role as an investment banker. The job is on an account just now thats worth a fortune selling some biometric software product. On Friday, when we got started, we processed payments and checked security clearances for half the applications we had recieved and i was handling some crazy amounts of money... 2 of the cheques i put through were for $2,000,000 each!! Unreliable as i am, i hold a job thats borderline important. God bless clerical errors. The job, i was told, was to go on for a couple of months but it looks like we'll be finished mid next week. I asked the boss about it and he said that the 2 other people i started at the same time as are going to be let go,but im going to be kept on to help him on another account that starts next Monday. The next account is worth $660,000,000 - there should be work for ages!! So thats that. Jo is still working for the applications processing company. Her job has become more diverse with more responsibility and shes enjoying heself there alot.
We are apartment hunting to try and get out of the ghetto that we live in, but its taking quite some time - there doesnt seem to be that many vacant apartments in the city centre. And we still havent sold our car!
Later all.
