yikes its been over a year since i put out a journal, sometimes i wonder why i still write any or bother tweeting my thoughts, but i guess there are select few out there who care about what i say, so to sum 2019 up.... fucked, i lost 3 people who were very close to me one of them was my housemate who died on the roof while installing a new TV antenna, its a whole different experience finding someone dead rather than hearing about it from someone else

so from the end of 2018 to the end of 2019 i had been recovering from a torn ligament injury in my ankle when i took a fall when i was out for a walk, i cant believe how long it took to heal, it will never be the same but hey 99% is good enough and i think i know how to manage it, to add insult to injury of 2019 i sustained a wrist and shoulder injury in the workplace which 6 months later still hasnt healed so im wondering what ive done to it.

shortly after my uncle passed away this year i was made redundant at the optical job i had been working at for 4 years, this came from head office and i just happened to draw the short straw, since then i havent been able to bounce back financially, since then i had undergone more education to try and boost my chances of finding work, i got my forklift license with a 8 week gap between finishing these courses and landing my next job as a pallet stacker for target, weeellll this only lasted 2 weeks as this was the job i sustained the wrist and shoulder injury on, sadly i was noticed by my manager and was pulled off the floor and sent home, no more shifts until it was healed and i could pass a physical... yeah right, followed by another 2 weeks working a few shifts in a bar as a glassy with one working arm which im super grateful for to my gym buddy who asked her hubby to hire me, this allowed me to put funds away as in this time i got served a eviction notice as i couldnt catch up to rent in time, there was a bit of drama surrounding this with the landlord at the time, he could have done it a better way and actually spoke to me but what ever its behind me now

so with the news i was going to be homeless i made a call i never thought i was ever going to have to make, i called my father and asked to move home to south australia, he was fine and happy with me coming home, my choices were either move to south aus or tasmania with mum, as much as i get on better and love my mum tassie is too far and too cold for my liking and i figured my job prospects were better here, so a week until my moving day was when my housemate died on the roof, i remember heading into the laundry and having a quick chat with him that day, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, i was in and out of the laundry throughout the day, 5:45pm rolls around and i hear almost smashing on my door and im thinking ok thats not normal, my landlord yelled as i opened the door asking when i last saw him, i told him around 1-2pm, he replied with he is dead on the roof, i have never gotten up a ladder so fast in my life in some vain hope that he could be revived, but as i got to him in the low light as night was approaching he was stone cold, i think i stayed up there with him for 30 mins or so howling and yelling at the loss, even now typing this out weighs heavily on my mind, all i was thinking at the time is 'how on earth am i going to get you down'

we had a ambulance come out and then they called the other 2 services in, the firemen to get him off the roof safely and the police to notify them of what happened, the poor police had to wait around for a undertaker to come out which took several hours, so they stayed and comforted us, after he was down from the roof we were able to sit with him and say our goodbyes, 'im glad he is no longer in pain' i kept thinking, so once this had happened all drama between me and the landlord went out the window as i did everything i could to help him through the hard times of prepping for the funeral, i even moved my departure date so i could attend his funeral

it was hard to leave the life i had made for myself in qld, the amount of friends who offered for me to stay rent free till i found a job was more than i ever expected but i turned them down purely because of unstable income and didnt want to be a burden on them, as well as needing to come home for my mental health

fast foward to now, things are ok, im miserable without a job, arguments between me and my father come out on the odd occasion, its been nice having 2 dogs to come home to they help my stress levels alot, i had started seeing someone i met on tinder, we are taking things very slow, but theres been a few times ive given a weeks notice to him saying ill be in the suburbs can you spare some time to see me but he had plans, which made me sad as i want to see him and see if we progress into a relationship, time will tell

the furry side of things is on hold, no conventions this year which is going to suck so bad, but i need to find work and build myself up again and take some serious swings at my debt as ive been fighting to stay above it for over 7 years now

so yeah its been a tough road but im just hanging in there, im hoping the next time i write a journal it will have better news

thanks for reading fluffs

i dont know who really reads these other than me on the rare occasion, so with the year rapidly coming to a end, i cant say the year has been completely bad, but its still a improvement all the same, i was fortunate enough to be transferred to a new department at work, its far more peaceful, the guys i work with reminded what it was like to laugh again as i was miserable in the stock room, got gutted 2 days ago when one of them got terminated from work, not sure who the new guys is who will replace him i just hope he has a sense of humor, having 2 weeks remaining until i reach lvl 30 in the game of life, i look back and have much regret on how i spent those years but as i have started to make improvements to my life im looking forward to what i can achieve in the upcoming year, for those of you who do read this have a safe xmas and new year

Wow so that blew by super quick, however this furdu was awesome as always, glad i got to see some old friends again and make new ones, got to be a big derpy doggo but is really a lemox inside.

Had a nice 2 weeks and 2 days off this year which was sorely needed, definatly feeling recharged and ready to take on the rest of the year, this year so far hasnt been the best but it hasnt been bad either, the loss of Marko and Tzup has definatly hit hard and still think about them as well as the loved ones that were left behind, finances are slowly improving but life has a way of kicking my legs out from under me when i finally get a good footing on it, hanging in there but something always wants my damn money such things are becoming more critical by the day, however im sure ill get past it as i usally do

im keen to see how these next 12 months play out, definatly want to get to furdu next year even though i said i might miss it

spending the rest of this year working on improving my health and see if i can stand on my own two feet again

Yaaaaaaay 2017 is finally over and bringing in the new year with optimism and eagerness because im getting a good feeling about this year, also i realized i havent made a journal at all in 2017 but this was due to nothing special going on all i did was worked, attended furdu as i always do but thats about it, however there has been positivity and change for the better but the progress is painfully slow

while this change is happening im putting everything on the back burner and will work on this when the time is right, i do feel a bit disconnected from the fandom as i work all the time and i dont get out to meets these days, as well as my reylith suit being retired, im hoping to get a v2 underway in the upcoming years and reconnect with everything, i try to keep in touch with everyone as much as i can through telegram as i check my messages in my work breaks so feel free to drop a line and ill make sure to reply

other than that as much as im starting to dread this day each year im another year older and hopefully wiser LOL

to this who still read what i have to say, thanks and hopefully ill put more journals out later on

huh so im surpised anyone visits my fa, but im not complaining, thank you to everyone who has stuck around, over the past few years things have gone downhill fast, but im happy to say this are finally improving, alas im still roughly another 3 years from having my shit together so im unsure how active i will be, but the main point is things are getting better after being down in rock bottom for so long

So looking back on my old journals i have said alot about whats been happeing, the short version is just over a year ago i secured a full time job and have been working my tails off trying to stay afloat and keep the bills at bay, my presence in the local furry community has been minimal as at the end of the day i really dont have alot of spare time as i have to come home, cook 2 meals so i have something for lunch the next day, unwind from the mental strain that my job puts on me and get a decent amount of sleep, which leaves the weekend to do social things.... the downside here is most people i know work weekends aaaand i dont actually know many people as i dont go to the meets as it lands on a work night, the only time i really get out is at furdu, it is nice to catch up and see how the other fuzzies are doing. the rest of the year is working and paying bills, living that adult life

its always the way when the people you like live so far away, i feel like im becoming more anti social but dont want that to happen but can do next to nothing to fix that, so i will remain optimistic that life will keep improving

as for you critters overseas im unsure when my travels will resume, i really want to get back over there and see you all, so time will tell


Thanks for reading

It has been a long time since i have typed out a journal, but i need this story to be told

About 7 months ago life was changing yet again for me, i had flown down to new south whales to collect the newest car that i will probably own in my life time, i attended a meet in canberra and had an amazing time, met new friends, explored the area with my new wheels, on the way home i stopped by to see my pregnant sister as i promised i would, then stopped by some close friends who had bought a amazing house which made me quite jelous lol

they asked if i wanted to stay the night but i had to decline as i had a long drive back to queensland, so we sat down and had pizza for dinner, so i was checking my facebook and i noticed a friend request, now normally i wont let many randoms through, however this name caught my eye 'Nicole Southey', i knew this last name so curiosity made me accept, as i look on her page i see her post that her brother 'ryan southey' (Aka Milofox08) had died in a car crash, i quickly clicked the link to read the article, what i read broke my heart {http://theflashtoday.com/2015/07/25.....-high-school/}

i was numb after reading it, i didnt process it, i knew he was gone but i think knowing i had a long drive ahead is what made me lock it away

so after i left my friends house i hit the road heading home, i made a few stops, parked my car at a resting area, had a good cry but didnt grieve properly, later that night i stopped in a quiet dark street, rearranged the back of my car and slept in the back that night, i woke up the next morning finding out what a view i had to start the day, i had parked next to a large field / property and the sight was amazing i wish i took a picture

so i arrived home so many hours later, reconnected with a fur who left the fandom and we spoke of what happened, i asked him for a large favor, he planned to go to his funeral, as i couldnt afford a plane ticket i asked him to deliver 1 red rose on my behalf as well as a short eulogy on how he impacted my life, this friend met with ryans sister and my eulogy was read at his funeral

but i still didnt grieve properly as life had been throwing alot at me, so i needed to focus on that

the following monday i started my new full time job and just kept everything bottled up, during some hard days at work i got stressed out by so many things that i had thought of hurting myself and possibly taking my life

but i had alot of support to shake off these thoughts, things have gotten better in the later months





Now onto the dream that i had

Firstly i need to explain what i do, i work in a optics factory in the stock room, selecting the lens needed for prescription glasses, its nothing fancy

so the dream starts with me selecting a brown polarized lens, scanning it into the system and taking it to the machine where we tape the top of this lens to protect it during the process of cutting, polishing and shaping it to fit in frames

while i was unboxing these raw lens i noticed red text run across it, saying ITS ME

after looking around to see where it was coming from i was shocked to see it was being displayed through this raw lens, as crazy as it sounds i asked what do you mean its me?

the text appeared again saying Its Me Ryan Southey

in shock i started asking all these questions like 'How are you there? you died!' and questioning how this was even possible

he didnt know

after telling him how much i miss him and wanting him back with us he said 3 things that shocked me to my core both in my sleep and when i woke up

he said

22

40

Vancouver

now two of these i understand, one is sort of a mystery, 40 is how old ill be as im hoping to move to Vancouver later in life, this is just an idea at the moment and 22 made more sense by what he said next

the last thing he said was 'This Time You Can Save Me'

then i woke up in tears gripping and screaming into my pillow

i think 22 was going to be his age when he returned to this world in possibly the shape of a new person or lover im not sure

i have had alot of episodes where i break down in tears thinking about him


he has changed my life in so many ways dispite us never meeting but we have been talking since our teens, he showed me this fandom, told me about getting out there and seeing the world, fursuiting to bring joy to others, telling me to get my shit together and get a job so i can pay for all these things, he always will be my first love and im so honored to have been apart of his life as well

i still cry, the pain builds up in my chest, i feel like biting on something or punching something to vent

im glad i have so many memories of our conversations and the art work he finished a few weeks before it all happened

i wanted to share this for you all, if you have read this Thank you


To all my friends currently in my life, i want to thank you as well for being apart of my life, i wouldnt be here without you all

well its finally the new year, last year wasnt too bad looking back on it, spent most of it working so not alot of furry things happening, for those who dont know my fursuit at this point in time is in limbo between retirement and refurbishment, i need to find more orange and red fur as well as having the funding to get said fur so i can do what i need to do, im looking forward to this year as alot of change is on its way

well for those who care and read this lame things i write

december already? well shit, so ive spent the year working, very little in my furry life but im sure the same goes for everyone else, met some cool locals who i should really go see more

only new things in my life is my full time job, new problems but meh ill deal with it

got a big plan in the works for my future, this will take many years to acheive, unsure how my presence will be affected by this, but the new year is almost upon us and there is alot of change that i need to embrace


anyway till the next journal

far out this year has gone by so quick and so much has happened both good and bad

the good

i have been steadily employed and have been working the nights and resting during the day, my social life is that of a hermit but on the odd occasion ive gotten off my ass and gone out to see some friends, as of this coming week things are changing once again, i have gained a full time job with a company that makes lenses of glasses, average salary but im hoping with time i can move up the ranks and not be so broke, keeping in mind its all self inflicted debt but so far no regrets

the bad

after dealing with a nut job landlord i found a few things stolen from my possessions, now normally i would have fought back to get my items, but knowing he deliberately damaged his own possessions so i couldn't use them there was a high risk he would have done the same and id be left with junk so i decided not to bother and let it be

over the past few years i have received news on friends passing away and this puts me in a dark place, knowing that they died far too early and most of them in car accidents, recently for those who dont know, one of my closest and oldest furry friends died in a car accident, his username here is milofox08, i knew him originally as silversonic15 or his real name ryan southey, at first i thought it was fake thinking no he couldnt have died, but his sister added me to facebook and shared the news with all who knew him, why he was special to me, he is the first person i ever spoke to on the internet, we met in a chat room called chat ave in the video game segment, i was struggling with a zelda game and was looking for advice, we kept in contact from then on, we were both teenagers and stuck to msn and school email, over the years we came to realize we had similar tastes and our friendship grew from there, just before i was 18 ryan pops up in a msn window and tells me that because of our tastes we belonged to the furry fandom and proceeded to add me to a multi conversation with other furs, back then all i cared about was video games, he kept at me saying there is more to life, dont be a sponge on society and because i cared deeply about him i changed my ways, if he hadnt shown up in my life i wouldnt be here today, i almost got the chance to meet him at further confusion back in 2012, but as i didnt have his room number or cell number i couldnt track him down, was quite sad by this as i wanted to thank him and hug him, even though we never met i cared for him deeply, dispite how little in recent years we spoke, i still stayed in contact, im glad he drew some art of our characters as i now have something from him that i will cherish for the rest of my life

for those who knew him he has helped us in so many ways even if he didnt think so


anyway thanks for reading guys, just needed to let you all know what has been happening

And with that 2014 can go eat a rancid camel dick

nothing but shit for that year, the new year is off to a better start.


work is stable and im enjoying my job, being in the cooler part of the store is helpful, smaller department so i know just about where everything goes, my boss is happy with how im working, he has also approved my leave for furdu so ill be seeing you fuzzy butts there

living arrangements need improvement im currently staying with some friends out in a rural area so its nice and quiet out here, the dogs here have also improved my moods, when ever i need them they are waiting and wanting the pats and love ^-^

sadly with recent events which i wont bother bitching about, my travel plans have been delayed to 2017 at the earliest as i need to stabilize everything before i travel again, so for now purely local conventions for me

so my bday went by recently, a nice quiet day with a snow mew, then went to run errands, thats about it, might do something bigger next year

i find myself thinking back to this time last year when we all took that amazing holiday, i miss that shep husky and snowmew, cant wait to see them all again


so yea im not dead, just in limbo

i would like to start traveling again, i miss all my friends in america and those who are scattered across the globe, so far at the earliest 2016 is when i can make a trip out, at this stage im thinking i might hit up EF and go from there

why so long? the answer is obvious Money! dont make enough of it to both pay debts and travel so gotta give it up

at least im in a stable place to live, i have employment and im making the best with what i have

so for now its strictly fur meets and local furcons only, i wont be traveling to confurgence of any interstate con

i finally have land line internet again, how the hell can people survive on less than 10gig a month?

So i havent been overly active this year, alot has been going on, but the short version is im in a new chapter in my life, i have moved from cairns to brisbane as i was getting too lonely up there, i recently went to rivfur and had a great time, went to a awesome bday party over the weekend and looking forward to seeing a comedy show next month

for now im unemployed and looking for work again, hopefully ill be more desirable as i have experience and i am more confident in interviews

while i have some free time im catching up on one of my favorite shows as well as studying a new language

hmm thats about it i guess

letting you all know im still here

well its finally here, ive moved down to brisbane

kinda stressed at all the shit thats being thrown at me and its only day 2, just need to survive this first fortnight then things will balance out

for now i only have internet on my phone, and a dongle from optus that doesnt do shit in this house so yay!


will be more active after rivfur

a close friend of mine is offering some yhc's go check it out right nooooow

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5955971/

hey fuzzies, i know its been ages since i posted anything

so figure id post a quickie saying yea im still here, 2014 hasnt been overly great so going through another quiet phase

also want to shout out to the new watchers, thanks for watching my page even if it only contains tumbleweeds

once i got myself settled with life ill get back into the swing of things

So where to begin, for those who dont know i have been planning a big holiday for the past 15 months roughly, the idea was to bring a friend over to australia who went out of his way to make sure we had a unforgettable time in his country, so Nitroshep was chosen as he did just that

it went from just a idea into a full blown holiday which others were lucky enough to join, the trip consisted of myself, vamero, nitroshep, tigersclaw (AKA skittles the rainbow husky) and our resident feline Aussie luv tail

as from my birthday this year till the 23rd of january was the duration of the trip, so we started with the sites here in cairns, myself and nitroshep started the day of me aging another year at the zoo which is always a great place to visit, after a fun day there we took a drive out to the city to have a meal with some close friends, the meal was perfect and everyone had a great time, shortly after finishing our meal we got into the car and took a 4 hour drive to cape tribulation and arrived at our hotel just before midnight, after 7 hours sleep we woke up and got ready to go snorkelling on the great barrier reef

pictures do no justice to actually being there and witnessing the beauty of the reef, we were even lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle, after a tiring day of swimming we drove back home

the next part of the trip took us down to melbourne to attend the confurgence, which in all honesty i dont remember alot of it as i was a busy lemox organising the most awesome room party ever which i remember clearly, i want to thank everyone who came along and made it a epic night

after the late morning clean up, was off to bed for a few hours *groans* then off to sydney

we started our day in sydney by driving to a spot where we could see the harbour bride and the opera house to get a good photo of us together in our fursuits

i want to personally thank aussie for being our photographer without him the trip wouldnt have gone very smoothly

after wrapping up our photoshoot we took a long drive (gps got us lost a few times too) to canberra where after 6-7 years i was able to catch up with my sister when we arrived

the hotel we stayed at was actually really nice where as it looked dodgey from the outside, Finally we got more then a few hours sleep that night

the next day we all went out to the canberra zoo which was soooo damn amazing, we booked some of the special tours that the zoo offered, our first tour was to go into the cheetah enclosure and pat them SQWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! i could have stayed there all day patting them, will upload some photos soon,
shortly after skittles and aussie got to go in and got some great photos, the second tour was feeding some of the animals at the zoo, had a brown bear lick our hands which were covered in a coconuty fruity paste, was soo weird, fed a cougar, got to feed a tiger and fell in love with his cute chuffing noises, fed a bull giraffe, some adoreable otters and some white lions, we wrapped up the tour with the zoo keeper bringing out a boa constrictor hehe i like snakes too

that about wraps up the day, sadly we didnt have alot of time down there as we had to drive back to sydney to return the cars and catch a plane to the goldcoast


we spend a week on the goldcoast doing touristy things, theme parks, go karting, laser skirmish and many activities

after a busy week we went our seperate ways, skittles left for switzerland, aussie went back to melbourne, nitro myself and vamero back here to cairns, after getting home i half unpacked my gear as i had to take a early night again as we booked through another company for more snorkelling on the great barrier reef, this company was soooo awesome, had a buffet, great spots to dive and snorkell, awesome staff who went out of their way to make sure you were comfortable and the best part was the onboard showers *churrrrrrr*

after all that, this brings us to today where we had to say goodbye to nitro and put him on a plane to brisbane as he leaves australia tomorrow morning


there were a few negitive things about the trip but nothing that cant be fixed... some more then others XD

and now to brace for a new year which alot of uncertainty is ahead

well that was a interesting year, started out pretty well, had many ups and downs and changes of life style

now that it is 2014 my new years resolutions are set (weither i acheive them or not is another story), i have many things to look forward to and im ready to embrace the new year

so my new years eve was uneventful was working as usual, supplying the party people with the booze they need for the night, after that i came home, had some booze myself, finished constructing my new pc table which came early on the 31st (now thats service!) and will most likely slink off to bed soon, as i have another thrilling day of work ahead of me


so how would i rate 2013? .... i would rate it as kinda good

just a few more days till the excitement kicks off here in cairns ^-^

happy new year fuzzies

Just wanted to wish all my friends a merry christmas

hard to beleive the year is almost gone! im looking forward to bringing in the new year and have another adventure in a few weeks

really miss all you fuzzies both near and far, you all know who you are

so from tomorrow till the new year ill be working flat out as december is the busiest time of the year for us and being understaffed isnt helping

hope you all had a awesome day

Omg thank you guys so much for all the page views and watches

i know i dont post alot nowadays but dont worry more stuff will be coming soon


so the other day i see a email saying that klei entertainment is making a otto von chesterfield plushie, the minute i saw it, i wanted one!

now im not the kind of guy who likes or collects plushies, but this is one of the rare acceptions

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....-chester-plush

go check out his adoreableness!!!!

well this year i decided to take it seriously and celebrate it despite most Australians dont, so i got plenty of decorations and made a banner for our street i called it hideway halloween, so vamero, fink the shepard and myself suited up and hit the streets but with a twist, we did reverse trick or treating so instead of collecting it we gave it out, sadly not many houses had their porch lights on to give the ok for trick or treaters, the first kid and his father came up to us in our driveway and we gave him some of our candy and when we offered a little more he said to us "one is plenty thank you" that was a great start to the night, the next house had 3 kids, now seeing as we werent speaking we held out our cauldron buckets to them but they misunderstood us and gave us candy, so i gave some to them as well, after we left there i broke the silence and explain to the next house which was full of adults what we were doing, they loved us and took pictures of us, the last house we went to only had a guy in it, i explained our story again and gave him some candy, he was nice enough, on our way back my boss pulls over as i invited him and his kids over, he enjoyed seeing us suited up and see a more fun side to his employee, so we invited him back to our place to show off the decorations, as he was sussing it out, a group of teen or adults (i couldnt tell as it was so dark) came up to us for trick or treats, so we gave some to them and they were pleased, and of course i kept hearing from people asking me what does the fox say GRRRRRR, anywho once my boss and his kids came out with us we stopped over at our next door neighbours place who is good friends with us, who loved our suits and their greyhound 'blue' was happy to see us, after that we said our goodbyes and got out of suit, once our friend fink left i went outside only to find my prized decoration stolen!!! it was a helium ghost which set me back $20 was pulled off our letter box.... oh well


so yea it went great and i look forward to doing it again next year, i will upload some pics of us and our decorations later

so today marks the day when i got on the plane from south australia to queensland to live with my vamero

im a happy lemox ^-^

.... that is all!

A good friend of mine  tonyringtail had to relocate to Florida for a new job, and he had to leave Panda behind in PA. Now he has an apartment that allows cats, but he needs money to pay for his deposit ($500) and gas for transport from Pennsylvania to Florida (Orlando area.) Any little bit helps! Thanks! - See more at: http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expens......55iendF6.dpuf


Any help would be appreciated

so yea alot has been happening lately, mostly work related stuff as im being called in for more and more hours, the past few weeks ive been working 6 day weeks except last week where i did 8 straight days, but now i have the next few days off so i can relax and organise things

so whats new you ask? well first off a few weeks ago i finally bought my first car ^-^ (all of the sqwees) i will post pictures at the start of next month

we decided to look for a house as with the addition of our new housemate we need more room as we all have cars and our complex is struggling to hold all the cars

so after searching we found a awesome place and to our suprise we got accepted, we were all worried as we hadnt heard anything for the past few weeks

so i thought i would update those who read my journals

thank you all for taking the time to read this and find out what this critter is up to

hello readers

just thought id post a journal as i haven't done so in a while, so work is going well, i get called away to other stores a lot to fill in for team members who are either sick or taken leave and i have built up a great working relationship with all the stores within my area, even some closer to the city, so it has been officially over 3 months of staying employed which for me is a big deal, my last job (which was also my first job) i almost made it to 3 months and would have landed a full time job straight off the bat, but they ran out of work so i guess it was not meant to be, this was 3 years ago, i have had a lousy time trying to find work in sa.

i actually worked there twice, second time was a temporary contract which was only a months work, needed the cash at the time, so since then i have moved several places and then the big move to qld

so there are 3 main stores close to where i live which call me and give me any hours they have spare, for now im still a casual but the best part about that is the high rate of pay per hour

another good thing is that i got my employee discount card its only 5% off but better then nothing, not to mention it works at several different places



thanks for reading

2 weeks ago i was talking to our local butcher as we chat to her when we buy our food, since i moved here we have gotten to know them, so anyway chookie was keeping a ear out for any job openings as i have had trouble finding any, she mentioned the liquor store had recently sacked a employee as he didnt show up for 4 days in a row, so i put my resume in and applied a application for interest form for that store and to my surprise i got a phone call last friday asking could i come in for a interview

during the call i was asked if i had a rsa certificate which would be required for the job,i had already looked up what this was and figure it would be easy enough to obtain, she said if i got that today she would come in for a interview tomorrow (last saturday), so i spent a few hours doing a training course online and got my certificate no issues

so when saturday rolled around i was early for the interview which was over within 15 mins and i was fairly sure i did well, so i got home and started chatting to sanguine on the phone and ended the call as i had something else to do, then i get a text from him to say call him back, when he picked up he said that they had called him as i have him as a referee on my resume, so a good word was put in for me (Thanks Sangy) then i see a 101 message come up on my phone, so quickly ended the call and checked my message to say i was successful with the interview

sooo yea i have a job now ^-^

been waiting out this week to hear when my shifts start and i got that call this morning, so i start my training tomorrow, there is a slight catch to this job, i will be going to and from 2 different stores as im only a casual, the closest to me is just down the road about 10 mins walking distance, the other is a short bus ride away which i will have to test out what time it will get me there

very excited to start this job and hope i do well at it
