Cos i'm sure you all want to know lol
I can't think of the 5 they want, but i'll give it a whirl ;)
You can blame Onestar for this, as always :D
1. When i'm online i always do things in a particular order, checking DevART first, followed by gmail, blogs, hotmail, yahoo mail and news, flickr.. and if I've got time at the end of my 5 hrs, icanhascheezburger.
2. I'm kinda wary of driving in Adelaide. Actually I lie, I HATE driving in Adelaide. I've driven across the country 3 times now, I can drive in Brisbane and Melbourne, didn't freak out when Adam drove us thru the back of Sydney... but the people here scare the crap out of me! The 5 minute trip back from the airport dropping Adam off on friday night scared the hell out of me... although saturday I wasn't too bad, maybe it's just weekday driving I hate here lol
3. Some may think it's weird, others won't, but I hate little dogs. Give me a german shepard and i'll baby it silly :D
4. .. nope i'm out of weird things i can think of at the moment, i'll come back and edit eventually ;)

In other news, tis my birthday tomorrow, I'll be 27.
Kinda funny considering when i rang up for a job this mornin the guy thought i was only 16 :D I'm not too sure whether I should be taking that as a compliment or not!
Seaking of jobs, went for an interview this mornin, going back there on thursday for a trial. Also got another guy calling me back tomorrow for another job, so i'm all go at the moment on the job front.

Taking down our prints from the exhibition tonight, I can't believe the 2 months has gone by so quickly! The woman who has bought my prints has apparently been having second thoughts about them in order to purchase more from the other photographer she bought from, so whether or not they're going to someone elses house is yet to be seen, i guess i'll find out tonight. For the moment tho, I think i'm done with exhibiting for the moment tho, it's been great fun, but i think i want to aim more for the arts market thing and comission work.
That's about it!

Life After Target
So today is officially my first day unemployed... sounds weird but it's oddly quite refreshing :D
Has been a great couple of days though, on friday night i had farewell drinks at Mansions... the target local.. and although not a great deal of people turned up, the ones i wanted to see did and that's all that matters really :D I got a $70 voucher from everyone at the camera store across the road so Saturday mornin i went in and bought myself a Lowepro backpack, and it's already proved itself to be one of my smarter purchases :D
We had our flickrmeet on Saturday at Warrawong Sanctuary which was cool... got some great shots that'll be on my flickr stream soon enough. That macro lens i bought a few weeks back had an awesome workout ;)
Yesterday was just a pottering day really, went up to one of the local shopping centres to buys lots of stuff :D Ended up getting myself an exercise bike... and i did 3km's on it this mornin quite easily so i figured i might need to change the resistance on it already lol

Bye Bye Bullseye!
So after 7 years, 4 months and however many days, i will finally be leaving Target on July 20th! I put in my resignation Monday after yet another week of dealing with BS there.
My manager was a child about it all, complaining that i only gave them 2 weeks notice to train someone else. I told him that they had 2 years to get someone else trained in the office (and after having me ask nearly everyweek for those 2 years you'd think they would have gotten the hint). So guilt trip aside, everyone else in the store is happy for me, they know how much crap i deal with out there, so much so the 2 people they asked on monday turned it down they've got 2 ppl interested in it after writing a note up on the staffroom noticeboard tho. So funny, they did "'blah blah' is leaving us" for the last 6 months, yet mine is only a notice of my job being advertised. Shows how childish my manager is being really. I think it's hillarious!
At the moment I don't have anything else to go to, but I've had some interest from 2 companies that i put applications in to, so we'll see how I go. I've got my payout from target coming when i go anyways so i'm not gonna be going on the dole and if i don't have something by time i go, i get a mini break :D
