So with my new visa I can finally get a real job now! Filling out job apps for gov jobs here is a major hassle. Instead of writing the traditional cover letter and tweaking it for different jobs, you to 'respond to the essential selection criteria.' Meaning they provide a list of qualities you must have to get this job, and you then respond with the experience you have that matches the criteria. And it's not some generic list -- each job is very specific. It takes me hours to apply for one position. The other day I spent all day working on one particularly specific app, only to start filling in the rest of the questionnaire and discover only Australian citizens are eligible to apply. FML.
As you can imagine, I am procrastinating big time today. When I woke up, I convinced myself I needed to eat a large breakfast because I couldnt be expected to on concentrate on an empty stomach. I whipped up my signature smoothie (yogurt, half a banana, bunch of blueberries, almond milk, almond butter, and a tsp of vanilla extract -- yum, try it). Then I thought, well I still have this half banana, I will make a banana sandwich to go along with it. Now obvs I am too full to concentrate, so I am lying on my bed. Have also decided I feel a slight headache coming on, so I should probably take a nap before that happens.
This weekend is Australia day -- kinda the same as the 4th of July, I guess but without the winning independence part. Michie Court ought to be going off this weekend. It's usually one day, but since it's on a Saturday it's turned into a long weekend. Ugh
