Break up with her now if this is what you're looking at.

Also, if you've been told this by your tutors - "you are looking at jobs that could take you here, here, here and here", don't get your hopes up. The marketing spin that is put on degrees and what tutors normally spout are far from the truth.

Coming from someone who produces material with this exact bullshit in order to convince people to take up a degree.

I've got about four leads on local jobs, and then two more NZ based jobs to fall through before this one becomes a possibility, it's just that this is the only one I really have questions about.

The people who told me 80% were the engineers they sent down to stand at their booth at an engineering jobs expo. I realise 80% is probably a gross overestimation. This company sell to over 30 countries around the world, but I'm sure that international travel will be based on ones performance. Fuck around and they'll ground you in a minute. At 27 I don't intend to fuck around.

The current plan is for me to work in chch for 3 or so years, then we uproot and travel or something. If I can't get a job in chch (that I find fulfilling) then we go long distance and re-evaluate then.

Flat was a great success. Amazing place.

Only downfall is that it's in an Area that I'm not so crazy about, but It's Palmy and there aren't really any areas I AM crazy about.

So hopefully the tenant liked me enough to let me move in.

Now that some websites are starting to use the .kiwi domain, is Getsome going to follow?

I like the sound of Getsome.kiwi

Sometimes I wish I could get some kiwi.

It's kawaii and sugoi and all the other things.

By fear you mean get full jealous right?
People fear what they don't understand, and they don't understand how it is that we're so AMAZING and they're stuck in their shithole countries.
