A Barely Coherant Ramble about Work.

[hurly_burly]

I start work on Monday, but the first two days are orientation, paperwork, training, and the procuration of the ugly ugly polyester uniforms.  I have one day of actual work on Thursday and then on Friday we're hopping on a plane to Brissy for Great Northern War.  Huzzah!  I'm looking forward to the small girl's first plane ride, but she remains unconvinced.  Apparently 'airy-planes are too scary for girls.'   Then again, she also claims that 'Toy Story' is too scary, but will happily watch 'Labyrinth'  on repeat.  She is a strange little person.
Anyway, most of my work paperwork is sorted out, but I still need to get certified copies of 100 points of ID to support my police check form, and find a piece of paper with my TFN on it (not an easy task after moving so often lately).  Other than that, childcare is sorted (there's a childcare centre next door to the facility), and on payday I will need to buy a new pair of shoes.
I have accomplished nothing on the sewing front, but I have written another 1000 words of the not-very-clandestine writing project (which means it is now slightly longer than most of my uni essays!).  Erm...hooray?

A new toy to play with on the plane may help to alleviate your little one's boredom during the flight.

Thanks!

Yup, I thought I'd buy/make her a new doll, and pack all the usual travelling stuff: paper and pencils, stickers, a couple of books, and (for emergencies) the portable DVD player. She's a really good little traveller, generally, so I'm really anticipating much trouble.

Aste says that quince jam is lovely but what she truly covets is pickled onions! Have you got any of those left?

Really pleased about the job!
