I got a delux cabin both ways when I went to Melbourne for work this week.
Quite a nice sailing and all - but I hardly got to see anything of Melbourne. I got about 100 meters off the pier to have some breakfast at a restuarant and then back to the pier to work.
And even looking out the windows was bad because of the smoke - so I didnt see much of Melbourne at all - but ah well - maybe next time.

I´m off to Melbourne on the Spirit tomorrow for a trip for work. Should be interesting.

I´ll let you know how the trip on the boat goes. I havent ever been on the new Spirits yet.

First Day on the Job jawapro Mon 04/12/2006 11:00 AM
Well - I survived the first day of real working life.
The TTLine seems like a great place to work - I just need to get the hang of the way they do things.
And I need to learn ACCESS again. I havent used that since TAFE and they use it a lot.
They are planning to send me over to Melbourne soonish, so I´ll probably get a chance to check out the boat from the inside soon.
On another note - my cousin (who is one of my best friends) left on the boat today. He´s moving to Mount Isa with his family. Probably going to be a long time before I see him again.
Good luck mate - hope you enjoy it up there. I´ll come and visit when I get rich.

I have a Job!!! jawapro Wed 29/11/2006 11:00 AM
I have a full time job!
I went to an interview yesterday for a job with the TTLine (operates the Spirit of Tasmania Ferries) IT Department. It went pretty well but I wasnt sure what to think.
I was actually getting ready to go to another interview with someone else, and I got a phone call saying I had the job.
I´m stoked!
Hopefully it´ll be a good place to work. It seemed like it at the interview.
I will probably have to move to Devonport soon though - which will be interesting. But still close enough to come home occassionly when I need a proper meal :)
