Hi all

 

Well yes, finally I have a permanent job! Well I've had it for about a month now but just getting around to telling you about it.

 

Well... I ended up going for a job at a place called ESR (a govt owned institute in NZ and a leading science research place). They flew me up to the capital (Cal - my god you thought i was bad on the flight to Shanghai!! No way - 100 times worse!!). Anyhoo, interview went well however wasn't sure if i wanted the job cos it was in Wellington which is ages away from anyone i know and I would be a total no-mates if I went there!!  So after a few days I was fast asleep in my snuggly bed and my phone rung and the dude from ESR rung and said "well, normally I have to ring people to tell them they don't have the job, but I don't have to do that in this case". (remember i had just woken up!!) so I was like, "What???"

 

Anyway after all that, he told me i had the job and I asked for a day to think about it. So I got on the phone with my boss in Christchurch and told her that I'd just got offered a job in Wellington and I was going to take it unless my present company could offer me a permanent contract. So she said she would talk to her bosses and see what she could do. And ....drum roll... when i got to work that afternoon she called me into her office and offered me a permanent contract.

 

Yay I'm really happy cos I love working there. The people are all about my age and are fun to work with. After about 5 mins of being there permanently I was appointed head of the social committee - surprise surprise!! So I'm organising a bus trip with friends and colleagues. Its gonna be a blast.

 

Well i hope wherever you are you're having fun and doin what ya love

Love Jen
