Nerd Alert

Finally put pen to paper on my new contract with Austereo this week. They will sponsor me for as long as the 457 Visa is valid - four years is the limit.

Team meet was pretty interesting last week. About 6 of us hung around after it got dark and were literally screaming and shouting over the rooftop railings at people in the street. Not very becoming of us.

Other than that, had a well deserved quiet weekend and did some studying for the exam resit. It paid off as I passed it this time, which means if I decide to stay on the hamster wheel of Microsoft certification I now have an upgrade path that I previously did not have.

Two other things of interest happened. Sam cooked the most amazing lamb shanks for Sunday dinner after which I went into the city to watch Utd play Boro at the reasonable time of 10:30pm. The many Asian supporters got very excitable as JS Park set up the second goal for Utd. The result once again scuppered my accumulator bet - maybe I should give up on those.

SBS show the Champions League games here and are showing each of the daily quarter finals one after the other, one being delayed. I didn't know about that this morning and was very confused about time zones when Liverpool v Arsenal was still on at 8:30am. Thanks t'internet for clearing that up. Means I'll be able to watch the Utd v Roma game tomorrow morning at a reasonable hour as well. Word.
