Interviews & Theme Parks

Hellooo,

It's been a hectic few weeks, mostly the house stuff is organised ('cept for getting our rent reduction which we were supposed to have by last Friday at the latest - so we have to go visit the tenancy advice chick again when we have time - been so busy!)

I've now had 5 job interviews, one of which i declined because it wasn't for a tech job, it was for a IT Recruitment Consultant, i thought i would at least give it a try and see what it's all about - it's something that has always sort of sparked my interest. Glad i talked to the guy i talked to he was very nice and honest and the role just wouldn't suit me for a few reasons, but i won't bother going into all of that. Hopefully i will however get one of the other 4 jobs! If not, i will keep applying and see what happens and hopefully i get one soon!

But FINALLY after being here for like 3 weeks now i gets to goto the theme parks!! w00t! Haven't been for like 2 years since we came up for a holiday and they're so much fun! Got a QLD VIP pass so we can go unlimited times to the 3 (Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild, or Sea World) until the 30th of June 2010, which is awesome! :D.. Going to Movie World tomorrow and hopefully Sea World (turtles w00t!) on Friday.

Also, finally unpacked the study today so we could print the tickets, and it's been so long since we've printed anything that the ink has dried up! So we had to find a net cafe that was open and quickly drive there and print the tickets so we can go tomorrow, lol! But study is all unpacked, not yet put together and no network running upstairs as of yet, but that's another job all on it's own.. And yeah i'll get around to migrating the site to Host Militia soon (hopefully!), need to not be so busy.. How is it possible to be so busy while unemployed? heh. I won't be able to migrate to my house until after 6 months and we move into a new place (only staying here for 6 months) but i'll spend this 6 months getting the environment ready, and hopefully in the next few weeks i'll be over to Host Militia.

Bed time so i can get up and goto Movie world.. w00t!, Nite!

Move to Brissy

Hi all,

I haven't been able to move my hosting over to Host Militia yet because Tim accidentally set my new ISPs emails to my pacgurl email and i couldn't because i was waiting for an email from them. Once all this move shit is over and get some time i can actually do the transfer!

I just moved to Brisbane! It's been a really hectic 2 months or so! Everything that could possibly go wrong in the move other than us and the truck crashing on the way went wrong (of course! - heh)!

We are now here, we have all of our stuff, all slightly damaged by the retard removalists that spent all their time arguing with each other and not concentrating on what they were doing but it's all here.

Only problem is we are not unpacking yet (yes we've been living out of boxes for 2 weeks - not cool!) - reason is when we moved into this house it was dirty and full of mould! How freeking disgusting is that! So a few days to a week later the idiot landlords actually cleaned the house, after much getting cranky. Now 1-2 weeks later the shower has been regrouted so it's clean and has no more mould and the blind guy is finally here now to clean the mould off the blinds!

Called the landlords last thursday afternoon after nothing had still been done about the shower and blinds and they said they would look into it. Still hadn't heard anything by thursday night so we dropped into their office and they advised after our phone call they 'thought about' doing something about it. We asked why they hadn't either done anything or 'thought about' doing anything for the previous 6 days! No reason of course. After telling them what laws they had broken we were asked to leave the office, not because they cared about breaking the law, only because another tenant behind us heard that they had broken the law. Morons!

The next day we spoke to a tenancy advice person and breached them for not fixing anything and after the convosation thursday night and the breach they are finally doing something! Thou it shouldn't come to that!

However, i don't want to be stuck here for another 6 months with landlords like that! They have posed a huge health risk to us (i know whats with everyone trying to make us sick lately! - bug?) with not providing a clean and fit to live in house when we moved in (ie it was dirty and full of mould) and it then took them almost 2 weeks to fix it! And they only fixed it after we got cranky and told them they had broken the law to start with!

I'm just worried if we stay here and anything else breaks it's not going to get fixed. I'm also worried that cleaning the blinds isn't really good enough. They were full of mould, how can you clean that off? I don't want to get sick!

Also, when i move into a normal rental place i take a photo of every dent, scratch and anything wrong with the property, i've never had to take more than 50-60 photos. I took around 400 photos of this place and i still don't think i got 75% of the things wrong with this house and it took all day! I'm worried that when we leave they are going to blame us for everything that was here before we moved in!

I just hate that i have been put into this situation. I put in so much effort for this move to go smoothly and absolutely nothing has gone smoothly.. And i haven't even mentioned before we got here.. that'd be another 10 pages!

Have to talk to the tenancy chick again and see if we can get these retards to pay for our moving costs due to their fuck up. Which i think they should have to pay. Last time we spoke to her she said we have a chance but wouldn't really talk about it because Tim said he wanted to stay and i said i wanted to leave and she said we have to agree before she would talk about it anymore. So we need to go back :/

Hopefully we can get them to pay and get out of this horrible place, or at lease possibly go on month by month so we arn't stuck here for another 6 months!

Oh well, see what happens.. I'll try and keep this up to date.. I stopped posting because i was going to roll over then couldn't but i guess i'll keep posting now until i can actually roll over.. Too much shit going on over the last two months!! :/
