I still have no job! I have an unconfirmed job that currently has no start date (though I can take a rough guess) and no confirmed wage (though I can take a rough guess at that too) and know that this job is only for first semester of university this year. All that is fine. I don't mind being on vacation indefinitely but I do mind not being a productive citizen. So, I am enrolled at university this year with the aim of getting a qualification that will actually get me a job.
One problem with the university thing though is that the head of the program has gone on his vacation for that summer or is doing research overseas for the summer or something. So, my actual course of study for the year is still largely unconfirmed too. I know what half of what I am doing is: classes! The other half might be more classes but it might also be research, I have no idea.
Another maaaaajor problem that I am having at the moment is that there is static on my parents' phone line. BOTH lines running into our house have static on them. The line was switched the other day but still the same problem. It has taken 3 months for the company to even come out and have a look at it much less fix it, which they thought they had done but clearly have not. This problem causes us to be online then offline then online then offline in a way that my mother says she never even experienced living in a much less developed country.
Going from super fast fibre optic internet to the much slower internet in NZ that has data caps has been hard enough but to annoy other people because the line maintenance hasn't been done for years seemingly is not good.
Sorry if you see me popping up online then offline then online then offline then online then offline all day. It's not my fault. Sorry sorry.
Oops this has been a bit ranty. My apologies.
Anyway, I am freaking out that it's February already. How about you?
