A quick post to update you  (and my future self when looking back at these blog posts) on what is happening job wise.

Seems legit. Today however I went to an agency to talk about signing up for work as an extra in whatever things are happening in New Zealand's film/TV industry. After a little while the whole thing sounded good but then the money thing came up and, well, I'm not paying that much just to sign up to something that I'm only going to be available for the next year at the most, plus they'd take 20% of any money I earned, which is a lot for an agent. But, today (just now actually) as I sat in the library my phone rang... It was the bun run job from last week, I can go along tomorrow because I'm taking over the 'roll' of somebody else as they shift their staff around a bit.

So, yeah, good stuff, hopefully. Oh and as for the dodgy work on the farm that was properly dodgy? Yeah, that aint happening, even on the off chance that $5000 dollars does appear I'm going to invest it and explain to the dodgy guy that it is in the system and I can't access it just yet.

But I can send you a jar of the 'returns'

 Tomorrow morning I go to learn where I'm selling sandwiches, which means I may well have a job now. Maybe I'll buy that vinyl album I saw today...

Wow! Only $150 for the worst album ever recorded! The value will only increase as nobody actually bought it.

And here's why...

Good luck getting such a catchy tune out of your head. 'Duhduhduuuuh I want you on the floor Duhduhduuuuuhdowdow I want to see a suicide! Dowdowdooo dadadadadow Soul shaking dadadaddaow dow I AM THE VIEW dowdowdowdow I AM THE TABLE!'
