The new job is all but signed, starts in about 5 weeks, goes for nine weeks, then transitions easily into teaching work. It'll be a casual position, so no holiday pay or sick pay, but that is balanced by boosting the hourly rate to $29. So that's about $1,100 a week for two months.
The mixed feelings are because I'll have to wear office clothes, even a tie. Given that my entire job search efforts consisted of one half-arsed facebook message, I'm feeling like a smug little bastard right now.
Now to plan that holiday to Victoria and that hiking in the Flinders Ranges before I go back to work.
