First of all, I hate my work visa. I am not allowed to take "permanent jobs," and even though my really awesome and high responsibility job at lush was only 14 hours a week, it had the word "permanent" in the job title. They couldn't give me the job, regardless of how much they wanted to, because corporate found the glitch with my visa. So now I am just a casual worker and might only be able to work through january :( Ugh. This other girl got my flashy job. Oh well. I really want to try for it again back in the states.
AH it just started hailing! That makes me think of dear Tim because he is driving to work right now.
Two important news tidbits in that sentence: Tim got a job and we bought a car! Tim is working at the front desk of a New Zealand exclusive hotel, The Heritage. It's pretty huge and really nice from what I've seen of the outside (they don't allow anyone to
visit employees so I haven't seen the inside yet). However, his shifts go until 11:30 every night, and the bus system stops running out to our house around 11. Tim had two days off this past week and we used those two days to BUY A CAR! Ahhhh! We had to, but it's really exciting to have a vehicle that we can travel with! It's an '89 Subaru Justy. The only problem is that it is manual transmission, which I have nooooo idea how to drive. Tim is getting the hang of it (we even drove around a bunch for practice last night!). But I do hope that he was already at work when the hail storm hit! Small hail, but still nervewracking to drive in.Other than our important news tidbits, we have still been having a ton of fun! I took Tim out to
eat at Flying Burrito the other night, and it was delectable. I'll probably get sick of all the Mexican food soon, but for now it's just heaven every time I eat it (used to Taco Bell much?). But he got to meet my coworkers, hang out a bit....it was really fun! We are going to go on an adventure to a mountain or nearby lagoon tomorrow which I am ecstatic about. We've been meeting some great people and are still having the most wonderful time! Hooray!
One of my favorite things to do (when it's not hailing like crazy...) is walk around the beach and look for cool things. I found this crazy shrimp creature the other day! It was dead, but still pretty cool to see (you really don't get sweet finds like this very often!).
I also enjoy taking pictures whenever there is something picture-worthy. The skies were very ominous the other day and the mountains looked amazing (I think these are the mountains we want to go to tomorrow!). Amazing. Just amazing. I got our street sign in there too so you could all see the view we get to enjoy!
On another note, even though I am well aware that it is a day early, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIEEEEEEE! :) AND fay is moving back to downtown Milwaukee? And Jess is coming to visit in December? And Drea got in to Vet school and we will see each other soon? And Gina just moved into a sweet place? And Shelby is a NEW AUNT and has an adorable baby nephew and we need to party asap to celebrate!? (I AM an asswipe...sorry lady). And fire dancing with Rita? And Amy lives on her own again and has a place to stay for me in Madison? Million things to look forward to. I love you girls :)That's all for now!!!
Cheers,
KT
