Aside from a short visit here and there, the last time I spent more than 2 weeks at a time back home in Perth was early 2006. It's now been a full month and I have had a pretty good time funnily enough. Skating, Surfing (trying to), going for walks, training, lots of lounging... It's been a good holiday from holidaying. I am staying here in Fremantle with my mamma and wonderful girlfriend Jenny.
Finding suitable work proved a little more difficult than I expected but after lots of interviews and several job offers that after consideration I turned down... I am starting at Vodafone Booragoon tomorrow morning. It feels good. As long as I have little idea of what I'm in for then I am excited about starting a new job as the learning process distracts me from the mundane and the boring that comes with time.
I've not been since I was about 12 years old and all I cared about was how many showbags I took home with me.. but as Jenny has never been to Australia and they don't really have anything like it back in Sweden today we're off to the Royal Show. I figure the line between kitsch and tacky is very fine and I will try to walk on the right side of it. Lots of rollercoasters and junk food awaits. To offset our indulgences later in the day we have just squeezed in an intense gym session to lessen the guilt of such unnecessary carnage. I am curious to see if the rides are as intense and scary as I remember them. I am betting on not at all but we'll see. Jenny is stoked. I made the mistake of putting the "here we go here we go here we go" song in her head. I am paying for that for the rest of the day.
