Work

Started work today at a coffee shop called Robert Harris. They are one of the big commercial roasters over here but it doesn't seem evil!! All handmade foods and stuff, nice mix of people, coffee is not too bad.
It's min wage stuff but hey, its a start!
I'm off home to bed as my jet-lag is taking a while to get over and today has worn me out (what a wuss eh?!)

I'm Here!

Well the journey was pretty uneventful, sat next to a french couple the whole way but they couldnt really speak english so that was fun!
Had a little extra checking at Auckland but nothing as extreme as before (those who know, know ;) and all flights were on time and smooth sailing.
My first day, to keep myself awake, i went into town and opened a bank account, nothing like at home where you have to provide a blood sample before they let you have an account! Over here though you have to pay a monthly fee for your account, only 12 bucks but still...!
Went to see Charlie and Marc and the gang down at MusicWorks and they gave me a free monitor for my PC! Ahhh kiwi hospitality!
Today I ordered my landline and broadband service so hopefully I will be connected in the next few days. Also lobbed out a bunch of CVs so I'll be working soon!
Hey Bromley, I picked up a Razer Exactomat and rest for $70 thats like 20 quid!! beats my rusty motherlover any day.
Anyhow, its back home for me now, hope everyone is well and hope to hear from you all soon.

I'm Off!

O.K. So this will be the port of call for anyone who wants to see what I'm up to in New Zealand.
I leave on the 26th October so anyone wishing to see me before then contact me via the usual channels.
