Job Hunt

Alright so here's the deal: It's 9:45am on Tuesday morning and I have a job trial thing tomorrow at 5:30pm at The Ponsonby (which is the Belgian Beer Cafe that I went to last week with the girl from Seattle and the English guy)! It was the 3rd bar/cafe I went into and the manager gave me an application, talked to me for awhile and then got out the schedule to see when I could come in! Pretty sweet deal! He also told me that the company that owns this bar/cafe also owns about 13 other ones across New Zealand and if I ever wanted to leave Auckland, they could find me a job at one of their other bars! Hell yes!!!

I have also talked with the gal from Moss Adams that called me about the job I wanted in Phoenix. She said they filled the position but after bonding with her over our Honors College experiences and the thesis she told me to keep in touch and call her when I get back to the U.S. and she might have a job for me in one of their many West Coast offices...woohoo!!! I'm also hoping to hear from Microsoft by the end of the week.

On another note, I moved rooms yesterday at Ponsonby Backpackers to the other dorm room because mine smelt horrible!!! Seriously, I'm not sure which of the 3 guys stunk but it even reeked in the hallway! So now I'm in a smaller room with 3 other beds which should be much better.

Beate and I just walked around yesterday and that's how I got the job at the Ponsonby. Then we went downtown so she could get bus information and I could get cash. We decided at one point to stop and have a coffee with Baileys (which is totally normal on a Monday afternoon) and it was a super idea because it started to just dump rain. Then the lightning and thunder followed! The storm was super crazy downtown where the thunder was echoing off the buildings. AWESOME!!! I guess it doesn't storm very often in Auckland either, so I was very happy to enjoy this treat!

I pretty much have no idea what I'm going to do today since the weather is so unpredictable here. It was super sunny when I got up this morning but now the clouds have taken over. I'm sure a trip to the supermarket would be a good idea...
