No Go

Just had a call from Australia and I didn't get the job. BUT they are applying my application toward a position in Student Services that will be opening up shortly.

In a way I'm relieved - to pack up and leave with 2 week's notice is a bit on the hectic side, especially when I still have to find homes for the dogs. Now I have a bit more time to sort things out and find direction, to do that little bit of travel around here with a camera in hand that we've been wanting to. (We're doing a trip to Franschhoek this weekend, but without a digital camera handy I won't be able to share what we see in visual format via my blog. I'll be hauling my old Minolta and its case of near/far lenses around.)

We're going to Australia on a migration visa, job or not, and at the moment I'd like to try my hand at being self-employed. I have a lot of really good business ideas, most of which can be started with very little capital outlay, and could become pretty successful, employing a few folk who would need it.

Funny thing is, the day I was interviewed, so were my best friend and her mom. And at exactly the same time I got my call from Australia, they had the same, also telling them they weren't successful in their applications! Geez....what a co-incidence! :)
