You think gas is pricey where you are....
Well here are our prices, not per gallon but per LITER. So times that by 4 and you get my price per gallon. It takes more that $80 to fill up my car. I get so frustrated at $80 I just stop filling up!
In other news, I got a promotion. Well it isn't official yet, but it is on the the white board of the CEO's office. Apparently she thought the annoucement had already been made, but it has not been brought to her attention that it has not. So I am hoping that it will in the next few days.
In more good news, Alicia is coming to visit me for my birthday. So I will have my very first house guest in a few weeks. Alicia is a friend that I met in Newcastle last year and has been living there for a bit. I am really excited to have someone I know well and genuienly enjoy around for a few weeks. There are so many things that I want to plan while she is in town, but then again I know that I will be just as satisfied sitting around gossiping, painint our toes, gorgin on homemade Mexican, and drinking cheap wine.
Oh wait, I have more good news. I have been invited to start a training class at the local breaks/hip hop station to do volunteer work. So after a few weeks training I just may be doing my own raido show. It looks like they are looking for a morning radio host, which I could do. I would much rather do a pop culture/US gossip/decent hip hop session kinda thing. We will see once I get in there are talk to the managers and what not.
In bad news, The OC was not on tonight and instead Iam watching the Golden Globes. I would prefer The OC and a bourbon and diet.
More bad news, Diet Coke in Australia uses a sugar substitute that is also a laxative. So I now drink passionfruit mineral water except when driking broubon.
Just a thought, I am really upset that Ugly Betty just won a Golden Globe and that show has not even aired in Australia yet. I am so sick of being in the most backwards place on earth, Perth.
In interesting news, although I am in the process of maybe possibly starting a mini relationship I have a feeling that I am going to be persuaed into speed dating with A. A is my friend from work that I have been spending quite a bit of time with. Anyways apparently for $50 you get 12 eight minute dates, unlimited champagne, canapes, and well stories to tell for a life time.
He asks, "So what do you do?"
I respond, "I am currently reseraching the effect of animal behavours during the holocaust, and you?"
He asks,"So what is your idea of a perfect Saturday night?"
I respond,"Getting ready for three hours, standing around some bar, going home to finish the bottle a bottle of rum, and then drunk dialing the US "- wait that isn't far from the truth... No I do more than that....
Yeah...so I will let you know how that goes, if it goes at all.
So Australia day is coming up and I am surprised that I actually have to make a decision on what to do. I have been invieted to three parties and none of them involve my Mom. I know...impressive. I can go with A to some BBQ with a bunch of "hot guys", to Cara's for a Victorian (the state not the era) BBQ complete with the countdown of Triple J's Hottest 100, or I think on the foreshore with 400,000 other drunk people to watch the fireworks. Wow...Miss Popularity.
I have been esspecially hard on my clients this week and I have a feeling it is only going to get worse. I am sick of them trying to be sneaky...So I am making them follow every rule and whatever else I feel like making them do. This week I have reffered people to mental health counselling, career planning seminars, volunteer work experience, mock interviews, and homework. YES HOMEWORK, papers regarding dream careers, your personal goals and your plan to meet them, and Explaining Your Work Barriers. Hey, it is helping them.

And I'm done.
