Job interviews are annoying. I'm tired of applying for work. And just as I think I'm safe in my full time job, they tell me that they're not as busy as they were expecting and can't afford to pay me any longer.

I went for a job interview today. A second interview. It went really well, but I didn't get it. And I only know I didn't get it because I phoned the lady asking for her email address so I could send her an example of my work (which was mentioned in the interview) and she said they'd chosen someone else. It was less than 2 hours after the interview though so I don't think they even considered me.

Anyway, enough about that crap. It's my birthday this week, and to celebrate I've organised two things - because I want to see all of my friends - on Saturday (the 7th). Firstly a picnic and then drinks that evening.

Picnic - Saturday arvo from about 2pm at the Sherwood aboretum. I'll get there around 1:30 to find a spot. I'm thinking of being close to the BBQs so that we can cook food if we want. I'd like to see as many of you there as possible. Bring friends if you like - you know, the more the merrier and all that. Also bring food and drinks and toys and whatever else you need to enjoy an afternoon in the sun.

And for those of you who are busy during the day (or just prefer your alcohol to an afternoon in the sun ), I'm gonna be at the Pig and Whistle in Indro from 7:30pm Saturday evening.

Join me to celebrate my age becoming double double digits. I'd love to see you all there
