I now have my paperwork lodged for my 457 visa (4 more years) i don't want to jinx myself and say "i have my visa" as im sure something else will go wrong with it. The solicitor-lawyer-prat that was dealing with it was really annoying!
I was warned about him by the other lads at work that had visa's done with them, but thought as long as i was organised it'd be ok, i think he just waits til the last minute so that it looks like he's pulled off a miracle when he finally lodges it. They kept asking for forms we'd already supplied, lost my medical forms, asked me to fill out the wrong forms etc etc.
Just want to pay the last 2 bills and be done with it now!
Its blooming freezing in Sydney at the moment, well has been for about 2 months and hopefully one more month to go til it starts to get hot again, this wasn't part of the deal when i signed away my soul to move here. Looking forward to summer, so can get back to swimming after work and surfing (when there aren't sharks in the water like last weekend).
Poker is really taking over recently, we were getting a bit sick of staging it at our place every week. Then we were given a 10 seater poker table + i managed to win a couple of games for the first time in a while and we were playing twice a week for a couple of weeks.
In the last month we brought a new printer at work (not a desktop printer) a 4m wide digital printer to print all the sports boards & pages on. So my job has changed from sending off a pdf and 3 days later the prints coming back....im now here all day setting up the artwork and making the sh!t, the days absolutely fly by now which is good and its another string to my bow. i went out to the first game of the A-league season on Sat night with some of the people from work to our suite...love going there for the free food & booze, i certainly don't go for the standard of football being played.
Speaking of footy, we have our last game of the season on Saturday. Then its finals time! (semi final then final the week after) would be great to get to the final we'll see what happens. the folks have booked up their second trip over to come see their number 1 son & feed & water him for a couple of weeks. Will be booking up my holiday back in England for March next year so i'll be back for my birthday.
Well this blog has been full of....nothing really but thought id get some stuff down.
