Firstly: my blogs are really awesome and you all can’t wait to get to grips with the next instalment.
Secondly: you all think I have nothing better to do with my time than put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard.) to tell you all of my wondrous travels, and you think I’m just too selfish to keep them all to myself.
Thirdly: you all have nothing better to do because of some unexplained freak of nature say a tornado that has ravaged the country or you got a bit of snow and used it as an excuse not to go to work, stay at home and whinge about having nothing to read so fall back on old faithful.
My obvious choice would be the first option, and who can blame you.
Let’s put this blog into instalments.
1st My job
Well, some of you may know now that I’m not teaching anymore, again you don’t really want to hear the ins and outs of that boring tale, but I’m going to tell you anyway, so if you aren’t interested, then please skip to the next paragraph. For the rest of you, was it really to hard a temptation to resist? Actually, I bet there wasn’t a single person who went straight to the next paragraph; unfortunately I have no way of proving it.
For those of you who didn’t want to read about my teaching, please skip to the next paragraph, I used up the rest of that one talking about you. Right now we’ve got rid of the people who only want to read the juicy stuff, here is what happened: I got offered a full time role teaching apprentice electricians, however the T.A.F.E. could not offer me a visa sponsorship which was what I required to stay in Australia. See, I told you it wasn’t that interesting didn’t I, but thanks for staying with me, it really makes me feel good.
Now, I’m an electrician for a brickworks, and I can hear you asking “so, what does that involve Ian?” Well wonder no more, I will tell you. I’m working in an automated brickworks:
All of the processes are automated, and many are computer controlled, however if there is a problem, the computer cannot usually spot the problem until after it has done something it shouldn’t. This is where we come in, plug in the laptop, read the program (Ladder logic, thank you for asking) and work out why it isn’t doing what it should be doing.
2nd Michelle’s job
Michelle has now got a very prestigious job but I’m not allowed to tell you about it, so I encourage you all to badger her t do her blog, I mean you might call me lazy not doing a blog for so long, but just look at how many she has done, go on, have a look.
3rd House move
Well, can you guess what this section is about? Actually, you don’t need t guess, because I wouldn’t know if you got it right or wrong and you ……..did you ever get a feeling of deja type? I just got that then. Anyway we moved house from our wonderful home in the hills to a place called Kalamunda, which is aboriginal for home in the hills. They’re different hills, or should I say a different part of the same hills. Yes, I think I should.
The main reason for our move was proximity, we are now closer to things, than we were before, different things of course, but things that we thought we would prefer to be closer to, for example, we are now closer to the city, to a theme park called “Wet and Wild” both of our workplaces, actually all three of our workplaces if you count Ben’s too. Dee has even moved School. Where she is now, they have an outdoor program where they do activities such as snorkelling, mountain biking, kayaking etc, needles to say she loves going to school. Oh and we’ve got a pool. This is the only photo I’m going to give you this time, it is of one of our frequent visitors, they are fabulous beasts called kookaburras.
Although you might want to watch for my next blog, I’m going to try and put a video in there.
Well, that will do for now, but I promise to keep updating the blog more often, but you may have to have them in smaller doses, but at least I will make a promise to save you from the tedium of having nothing to read while it is snowing.
