think i need a lear jet

If you've been reading the lovely Valeskah's blog you'll know that we recently had a week of shopping in sunny Melbourne. And it was sunny, at least some of the time. With a view to my impending promotion (see previous post), I spent big on clothes, corporate wear mostly. As I now have the best part of 3 suits, ranging from new to op-shop, I figure I won't need to buy another piece of work clothing for another 3 years at least. At least that's the plan.

Other purchases included:
Metropolis Special Edition 2 DVD set
The Cure Trilogy DVD
Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds of Silence
The Essential Heart (CD)
Not Drowning, Waving Circus (CD)
10,000 Maniacs Campfire Songs (CD)

Also picked up a portable MP3 discman-type player and an autobiography of Don Chipp. Not a bad score really.

we're happy little proles and we're on our way to work
Seems like almost this time last year when I headed up to Northam to work at the campus there for a while, and it's about to happen again. This time, I'll be getting paid more and will score the title of "Manager". Kinda scary, but at the same time it'll be one of those career-shaping moves. Not that I've had a lot of them, somewhere along the line I missed that whole career thing, but maybe now is the time to give it a go.

As a result, I'll be somewhat transient in the next few weeks, very irregular with my correspondence and blog-reading. But rest assured that I'm thinking of all of you.
