Safe Arrival

Not much blog worthy information yet but ive decided to start in the hope that this will prompt me to continue :-)

After a 4HOUR wait in the adelaide airport I left oz and arrived in nz on monday (02/04/07). My new boss (rob) picked me up and thankfully, thus far, he seems as good as he sounded on the phone (v excited about working with him).

I had Tuesday off to look around and organise paperwork, bank accounts etc.

Wednesday was my orientation day with my boss, when i discovered the true extent of the challenge which is to begin next week (updates on work to come later once i find my feet a little :-)

Thursday i put my boss and his family on the plane for their 5week holiday and now i have taken over their house and car :-)

Now i have easter off before i begin work properly next week.

Biggest challenge thus far is trying to remember all the new things ive had to learn and i havent even begun work yet! i am trying to commit to memory

New bank account with 2 new passwords,
House alarm and code (the alarm itself provides a pretty prompt reminder of its existance but im trying to not scare the neighbours every time i get home),
Computer password,
House location (somewhat useful when trying to get home :-),
Car type and colour (so i can find it in carpark!),
Directions to hospital/work, and
Crazy give way roadrules (when turning i have to remember to do whatever i think is wrong!)...
And im sure theres more that ive forgotten already :-)

Anyway, thats my start :-) I will endevour to fill in the missing month prior to nz, including the darwin-adelaide roadtrip, soon.

:-) I know it's lame but Megan dared me to and I couldn’t think up anything else of particular wit or significance :-)

Years ago now, I won the universe in a college playstation competition- I had tried to tell the 'expert' boys that my notorious key mashing technique would be a winner and the fools didn’t believe me (I even managed to blister my thumb with the effort). These days it seems to have stuck as a running joke with a slight downgrade from a universe to a world/planet full of people/events to keep me entertained :-)

Anyway, so I now have a blog, with a name you shall(hopefully) soon forget and I will endeavour to relay some of my adventures and photos as I go along.
