Well, i'm now another year older, apparently a bit wiser, and well.... tired ;)
I had a wonderful day on tuesday, spent the day at home doing nothing (the first time in 8 years i haven't worked a birthday), and Adam took me out for dinner at a lovely lil Italian place at Glenelg (flashy seaside suburb). On Friday we went to see Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai which had my jaw on the floor for nearly 2 hrs lol It's amazing to see what the human body can do :D
The woman who was supposed to be buying me prints from the exhibition has decided she needs to "put them on hold", due to other things that have come up... she's been umm'ing and ahh'ing over them since about half way thru the exhibit, so i'm wondering if it's just a nice way of being let down, or if she actually wants them. Suppose i'll just have to wait and see.
The cafe trial didn't happen on thursday, as 2 of his staff had called in sick, including the one who was supposed to be training me. So I went back and did it friday, and i stayed for 2.5hrs before I'd had enough. The owner's wife wasn't very nice towards me, i'm there to learn and everything but there's a difference between constructive critisism and being rude. When one of the staff turned to me and said that they couldn't wait for the day to be finished to get away from her.... well... i think that cemented my thinking ;) Plus customer's were treated like idiots, which didn't really impress me. One of the other staff were shouldering me.. literally.. out of their way, even tho i was in the middle of something. Definately not a happy workplace. So that's a no me thinks ;)
Applied for a few more jobs last night tho, so we'll see how this round goes :)
That's about it!

5 Weird things about me....
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

Another one...
So another update :D
The work thing has fallen thru, basically they asked what it would take to keep me there, asking if i'd be interested in something out on the sales floor, which would've been cool except they also offered it to another person and that person took it before i'd been told it was off the table. The other department i said i'd work in was also given to another staff member well after I'd spoken about it with my manager, so I can really see how hard they were trying to keep me. Job hunting is fun! I've applied for another 7 jobs today, yay for emailing :D
A pretty pic of kitty from Adam:
It's adorable :D
Adam and I went camera goodies shopping today and I came home with the Nikkor Micro 60mm f/2.8 lens, UV filters for both the micro and my kit lens, and a wireless remote shutter. Spent a bit but well worth it! Adam got a new lens as well (18-135mm) and polariser. Yay for spending money on new toys hehe
The first exhibition finishes up on Wednesday when we swap prints over for Thursday nights opening for Refuge: Refresh. I've got 2 prints up this time and after picking them up from the framer today I really don't wanna hang them at the Wheaty, I wanna hang them up at home! Never know, I might just be doing that at the end of the month hehe
Speaking of which it's my birthday at the end of the month too... i have no idea what i'm doing for it yet, havin drinks i guess ;)
...and i'm done :)
