*Girl Gone Wild...with cheesecake, a birthday cookbook and blogging.It's been a rather low key day. John came into the city and took me out to lunch at the 100-Mile Cafe-- all food on the menu does not come from any further than 100 miles away. Though it was a bit more leisurely than I would have liked during my first week at a new job, it was rather good.
The job. It's going slow. People and Culture (aka Human Resources) apparently were not sure of my legal ability to work. I signed the contract on Monday and showed up on Tuesday thinking everything was in line, but wait. On Wednesday, Payroll says I'm not allowed to work. So, it's Thursday and I still don't have an employee number. This means I can't sign onto a computer-- typically this wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the office doesn't keep paper copies of things I should be looking at.
This means I cannot join the gym or get discount train tickets. Sigh.
So it's been a little boring, but I think things are going to look up. Besides, aren't all jobs a little boring the first couple of days? Right? Sigh.
The building, however, is quite excellent. I think the pictures really say it all.
*Look! A trolley. Outside the old Magistrate's Court

So I'm 30. I don't feel any older than I did a year or two ago. Less anxious maybe... I do know that my taste buds have changed, but I'm not convinced that's a product of my turning 30. Anyhow, I've decided that I will model myself after my Grandma and age gracefully.
Stay posted. We are on the move again. This weekend we are heading out to drive the Great Ocean Road. I don't know what John has planned...besides driving, but I've got high hopes about our prospects.
No worries.
