well...i'm in a little bit of shock. i had a job interview (over the phone!) yesterday with the department of child safety. AND THEY OFFERED ME A JOB!
it's a 3 month position doing...umm...intake i think. i can't remember!! 
the thing is though...it's in murgon - and for the 98% of you on here who have no idea where that is, it's near kingaroy. that's peanut town. and if that's no help, it's 3 HOURS from brisvegas!!
and it starts VERY soon! like - next week! i'm kinda freaking out about it! i don't know how i'll go being so far away from EVERYONE i know! man, i hope i'll have internet access!! otherwise, i may die. complete isolation and me do not mix well! i have to be around people! and especially people i like!
and the worst bit! i'll be there for christmas! and woodford!
luckily christmas is a saturday so hopefully i won't be working! and - don't worry rougie! i will get the 28th off even if it means i have to fake my own death! there is NO WAY i am missing woodford!! hey, i'll even have money to spend there!! woohoo!!yeah...so there's my news!!
