Monday 6 August 2007

Forgot to mention...

Went to Kaiser Chiefs last week as well as the Shins. Both fantastic gigs. Was meant to be watching the Klaxons on Wednesday but Jamie the bassist foolishly broke his leg jumping off a stage in France so the Oz leg of their tour has been postponed until later in the year. Anyone who likes the Klaxons and is free on Saturday they're playing a small gig at the Luminaire in Kilburn NW6 - tenner a ticket and it's 1st come 1st serve at the door. Nearly compensated for the lack of a gig this week by trying to grab tickets for Birds of Tokyo (Perth band - highly recommend them) tonight as they were doing an acoustic set. Sadly I didn't get my arse in gear so have missed out. However, Muse have anounced they're coming to Perth in November so really looking forward to that! Maximo Park on the 19th is my next musical experience. ps - everyone should check out Enemy if they haven't already

Guess I'm going to be here a while longer...

Guess what kids? I've been promoted! Yes, I'm now a senior member of the team and apparently an executive of the company. At least that's what it's going to say on the new website when it goes live later this week. I had my 3 month probation meeting on Friday with my line manager and managing director and they promoted me so I'm assuming that I actually passed it. It now means I have a new line manager - my 3rd in 3 months. Doing well! Also, my 457 visa should be sorted out in the next few weeks which will allow me to stay for up to 4 years but I can apply for residency after 2 which will be Jan 09. Oh, I'm not talking about the rugby either. I will happily admit that we were shocking (well, fucking shite actually) and can except the ridicule due my way very soon - apart from Riley and Paul who've already given me a little bit.
