King of the Land

It's almost official.  The best job in the world in Queensland will not be graced with my amazing skills not to mention my creative story blogs that I grace my fellow cubies with week by week.  Since islandreefjob.com makes their website so easy to navigate through, and multiple application attempts on my part, I have officially given up.  I keep waiting for the box to come up PC load letter error to appear, but it is yet to happen.  Instead I am greeted with file sizes to small and photos that do not meet the criteria of whatever server the company is using that I am trying to download to.  My response to all of this is nothing is worth three attempts with no guarantees.  A lame response I know, but as we get closer to the deadline it is probably safe to say the site is only become more overwhelmed.  I guess it's back to square one on my future trip to Australia and will have to come out of pocket.

To add insult to injury, I got another lovely text message by my phone service provider asking me to upgrade.  Now usually when something wants you to upgrade it is supposed to make things better.  It could not have come at worse timing because I needed to make a phone call and every time I hit ignore it would pop back up in a new screen.  I am sure most of you can relate.  So I think to myself how long can this possibly take?  25 minutes later and several downloads, I felt like I was trying to shut my computer down like Mr. Gibbons on a Friday afternoon.  Then after much agony, I got my update which changed absolutely nothing that I already had except for probably the latest version of 7.2.3 instead of 7.2.2.

On one last note, the other day I made my weekly trip to the supermarket.  I have finally come to the conclusion that no matter what I do or what I think I am doomed to get the most defective shopping cart available.  Some of you I am sure can feel my pain unless you just refuse to do the shopping which I understand why you would.  Who wants to be the one pushing the cart around drawing tons of attention with the squeeky wheels or the bad wheel that when you make a turn could randomly knock you into another cart or a local shelf.  This seems to happen to me more times than not and even though my pregame ritual of standing and doing a practice push sometimes does not prepare me for the adventure I am about to endure.  I am hoping that my local market will upgrade to a more advanced shopping cart so if it is inevitable for me to run into something, I can at least strike terror into my fellow shoppers instead of getting dirty looks as I do my 5 minute weekly shopping.  

Bottom line:  Don't expect to be looking for me reenacting Survivor Man chasing down kangaroos yelling 'Crikey' any time soon.

Free time not well used.
