Title: Bad news for me in New Zealand.
Post by: Sandinista on 27 January 2016, 01:16:30 AM
My holiday is at an end.  :( :( :(

The good news is that I have a job with Far North District Council starting the 2nd of February.  :D :D :D :D :D :D

My wife started work in October on a good wage so that meant I could be picky about the jobs I went for. Which allowed me time to finish a few projects as well.

Quiz night at the local pub tonight so I may just celebrate a tad  <:-P <:-P <:-P

Cheers
Ian

Condolences. A good job on a good salary is a terrible burden to bear.

Hardly bad news  ;)

As Paul has posted about already we are playing a couple of 10mm games this weekend at Valleycon here in Wellington. If you're ever down this way and have time for a game let us know.

Hope the new job goes well.

Cheers
Peter

I get to that point, then Pendraken releases something new, and I'm off like a hare with its tail on fire.

Ian,
Sorry that your holiday has ended but Candlemas is a great day to start new things. Here Feb 2 is Groundhog Day - and thus much more problematic. BTW you do want to get an Elizabethan army to oppose your Scots - right? :)
