A strange night

I had gone up for a long weekend in Tauranga. Sun, surf and a change from the Palmy scene. I was looking foward to a big Saturday night that I would remember. What I got however was a night I will never remember.

VISA!!

I know it’s been a while since I last updated but my life has been quite busy as of late. I got back from a long weekend of sun in Taraunga to find my passport had arrived back from the British High Commission with my working holiday visa inside. It came pretty quick - the application says 6 - 8 weeks and I was thinking it might take that long due to the hostile nature of the lady at the visa office. But 1 week later and it arrived! Talk about stoked. Now I just have to see about setting up my UK bank account then nothing will stop me from traveling the world! (well the United Kingdom anyways).

7 weeks

I’m came back to work yesterday and realised that I only have 7 weeks left in the country. And 6 weeks left at work. I was wondering if it is possible that I can “jack-out” and it will be 25th Feb already? But I guess then I will have to have someone work for me, organise my visa and attend all sorts of going away functions. All this while taking care of my comatose like body (ie keeping my nutritional requirements met and making sure my body does not become atrophied). Finding someone to undertake this would probably take 7 weeks to organise so I’m going to do it all myself. If only I was more organised...

Oh yeah I have heaps of stuff for sale. A++++ highly recommended traders only!
