Just Like Dolly Parton



I've been working 9-5...at least since last Wednesday, which marked the first day of my 30-day job interview. The first two days were painfully uneventful-- I guess I wouldn't be too capable of doing much at that point anyway.

Until day 3 I was quite sure that I wouldn't want to stay past 30 days, but by Friday things had finally started to turned around (or maybe it was just Friday). I still couldn't answer the phone, but I was assigned some work (besides reading) and found it to be pretty interesting. Tomorrow I've been promised an "exciting" project...

Everybody in the office has been very nice and are quite curious about what it's like in the States, especially regarding the elections. Today, I even found an item I termed a rulculator (ruler + calculator= score!) and some other random goods to complete my "business accessories kit", which was apparently completely raided when the former inhabitant left.

That's not even fair,I thought the agreement was I inherited the purse, because it wouldn't make it over there (or at least that was what I thought up). Glad to see your finally back to work and not touring for life, but you'll never work with anyone as "interesting" as your group here.

Just wanted to wish you both a happy one year anniversary. I am sure you realize that you have experienced more during your first year than many couples do during their entire marriage. Enjoy!!!

We all miss you and love you. Keep those posts and pictures coming. I am living my dreams of visiting Australia vicariously through you .
