Job

Sorry for the lack of posting over the last week, but I have been really really busy working on job applications. My work has now paid off, I start a new job on Wednesday. I won't give everyone the name of the company, but I will say that it is doing networking installs, configs, documentation, and in coming months will hopefully move into more of a network design type role. I am really really looking forward to getting back to work (I wonder if I will say that in a few weeks)!!

The other great thing about the job is I get a company car. This is new territory for me, so I guess it means I will be going out to see clients a lot!! I always liked that aspect at GU, getting out of the office and seeing something different is always great to break up the days. In my new job I doubt I will really need to break up the days, there is so much to learn, and I really want to give it a good crack. I think this is certainly what I need, moving into the private sector. I really loved working at GU, it was a top place to work, people were mostly good, and it gave me so much experience, however I think this is the right time to move my career along. Maybe one day I would like to return to GU, but I guess we never really know what the future will bring.

On another note I have now finished unpacking all my stuff, and have got my room at Dad's place sorted out. I have the computer setup, and the wardrobes have been cleaned and are now somewhat organised. I have also cleaned up some space for Britty when she arrives in about 4 weeks. I am so looking forward to her coming, it has only been a week since I saw her, but I am missing Britty so much! Every afternoon I would look forward to that knock on the door of our flat in Kiel, when Britty would walk through. I guess in the coming months it will be the opposite way around when I return from work.

I have also had a lot of questions about this blog. In the future I will continue to blog, mostly for those people that don't get to see and hear what Britty and myself are up to. I am still planning on finishing the Amsterdam post, and my last days in Europe.

Hope to catch up with all you Australian based people soon (if I haven't already). Keep well. Scott

Back in OZ

Well I am back in Australia! That is the first time I have taken a flight from Europe to Brisbane non stop, and it is not much fun. I am not good at sleeping on planes, I really couldn't get comfortable, so all up I think I went about 35 hours before I got some sleep. Even then the sleep wasn't the best sleep because as soon as the sun was up, so was I. I have been use to the sun rising about 9am, now coming home and having it up by 5am really throws you out. I guess I will get use to it in the next few days.

Now it is onto searching for jobs. So far things are looking ok so I will keep everyone posted. Over the next few days and the weekend, I will do my best to catch up with people. Hope to see you soon.

I will also try to post the photos from Britty and my trip to Amsterdam. We used Britty's Mum's camera this time, so I need to get them uploaded to google before I can make the post. Amsterdam is a very cool and interesting city, with so much to do, and so much money to spend. I will post them in the coming days.

Hope everyone is well, and see the Australian people soon!
