Well I've been back in New Zealand for 7 months now and the time has gone by incredibly fast. From Sept - December i worked at Labtests and from the first week of Jan till now i have been working in marketing at Noel Leemings and have met lots of lovely people along the way. I have been really lucky with the contract jobs that I've had over the past few years as I have gained a lot of valuable experience but great friends in each role...every cloud has a silver lining!
It's been a bit of a weird time being back, kinda felt that i never left in a way...and wonder how those 5 months that I was in Thailand/London went by so fast..and how the hell i survived job hunting every damn day for 4 months straight without going crazy...well i think i did go a bit loco! Despite all the stress/anxiety of that time I still managed to have a really fun time and met some really great people, of which i am thankful.
My Grandfather passed away just over a month ago. He put up a good fight and was pretty stoic till the end. He had a great farewell and i miss him greatly, we all do. He much admired by family, friends and his peers. A reporter who worked with Grandad wrote about the funeral: http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2010/02/rip_jack_mcfaull.html
I am really looking forward to heading back to London. My only hope is that i have an easier time finding a job. I have heard that the job market is a lot better than it was last year so hopefully i wont have too many problems. Time will tell! Keep your fingers crossed for me people!
So am leaving NZ on the 14th April, have a week in LA staying in Santa Monica and with family in Thousand Oaks, then arrive in London on the 23rd April.
