Planning for the Future

So, I've officially been promoted to function supervisor at work, and my first function is tomorrow with another person where I get to learn what the hell I have to do. It's nice because I get paid more!

It looks like my plans are shaping up to be somewhere along the lines of this:

Feb. 25 -> Last day of Work
Feb 28-Mar 1 -> Advanced Open Water Diver course
Mar 2-Mar 6 -> Kangaroo Valley @ Penny's parents house
Mar 8 - Mar 23 ish -> Contiki tour to Cairns (and beyond!)
Mar ?? - Mar ??+5 -> Liveaboard dive boat in Great Barrier Reef

After that, I'll take a look at my funds and either travel a bit more, or head back to Sydeny and get a flight home. If work continues to give me this many hours through February, I Should have accumulated about $11,000 before paying for the trips. Not including taxes paid (of which I don't know how much I'll get back) and superannuation (about another $1,500).

The more I look at the things I will be able to do the more excited I get. The best part is, I told my boss my plans and she is happy for me! If you've seen the emails I get from her, you know how much of a bitch she is, so I'm fairly impressed.




I've uploaded a few albums to the picture site. The albums are:
Life -> While going to work I took a photo of whatever I was looking at every few minutes, so you could see what it was like going to work for me.
NYE08 -> New Years Eve, there aren't any bridge fireworks photos because I took a video of the whole thing. I'll show it to everyone when I get home because it's 12.5 minutes long and 1.2GB.
Chrismas Day -> Christmas day wandering around the city and then hitting Manly Beach
Sculptures by the Sea -> An annual thing they have at Bondi Beach with artists creating things to put on display. Like most art, I didn't get it and neither will you.

Lastly, I went out to do gift shopping today, and found absoutely nothing. All I could think of for getting everyone was t-shirts or hats. So, while I'm adventuring if something screams Dad or Shannon or Jess or Mom or Barb or whatever, I'll pick it up and bring it home with me, other than that suggest something Aussie you want and I'll go find it.

That'a all for now, cheers!
