November

It's about time I did an update. There's a few pics below. Sorry Rich, I couldnt find any good clean jokes!

Had two job interviews last week, both down in Mentone. One for a Telco and one for an Automotive company. I'm learning a lot after being out of the loop for 10 years. Placement agencies really differ, and it sure pays to get a good one. A couple I've dealt with seem to have few Time Management or Customer Management skills. But one has been excellent with so much proactive follow up it's easy to see how they have so much market share. No-one seems to mind that I've had 8 months off! I could write a blog on the whole topic of my jobsearching.

We've also been updating our knowledge of the Melbourne property market in case one of the jobs comes off. Think we'll rent awhile. Not holding my breath though for "Aussie John's" prediction that prices will fall in 6 months.

I've also finished off my electric power unit for my mountain bike. It looks really cool, and goes pretty well. I've got two really long range high power batteries so I might take it out thru the bush today. I'll put some pictures on.

We've also set up a little home business focusing on import and resale. It's no great money spinner, but it's been interesting getting the ABN and tax structure right etc etc. We have to make sure John Howard gets his little bit!

Still no sale on our old motorhome in England if you're thinking of making a change in life! Well thats November. CYA!
Sam.
