things have changed for me

erilynAt least I hope they're going to, in a good way.
After a lot of stress, and discussing some things with the HR person from the other company (who, well over a week later, still hadn't scheduled my next round interview), I've declined to interview with them again and have signed the contract for the job I was offered. It's a big relief to have that decided. I start on June 30th, less than two weeks after my final exam (though I'll still be working after my exams at my current job, won't really have a break between). I better pass everything! It's a graduate position in a national firm, and despite starting 6 months earlier than most grads (Jan/Feb), I still get to go to Perth for the orientation week early next year with the rest of them, yay.
Corny post title is because I was watching V2 (music channel), and after This Ain't A Scene, I saw The Green Gentlemen music video on tv for the first time (I'd heard V had it in high rotation). It's even prettier in good quality on my tv :D Do you think Spencer was rowing because if they left it to anyone else, they'd either just go in circles, or sink? And then I remembered to upload this icon I made.
Also, my boys (the NSW Waratahs rugby union team) have made it to the semi-finals of the Super 14, finishing 2nd so we get the home semi final too *\o/* This is even more commendable given they finished 13th (out of 14) last season.
For my own reference, the release dates for upcoming movies I want to see (...well, maybe want to see, I'm wary of XF):
Indiana Jones - 22 May
Prince Caspian - 5 June
Hancock - 3 July
Mama Mia - 10 July
Dark Knight - 17 July
XFiles 2 - 24 July

Date: 2008-05-19 01:36 pm (UTC)Rage played TGG first thing last weekend, which made me happy. =) Also, I know it's probably because Spencer doesn't actually have an instrument to play on that boat (or, it seems, in any acoustic session...poor Spencer) but yeah, I could just imagine the problems they'd have if they let anyone else do it. It makes me think of how, in that road movie MTV promo, when the van breaks down Jon and Ryan's useful contribution is to make up a song. Rather than attempt to look at the engine.
