O.T. Good news for me.

Hi all,

I received a phone call yesterday by the way of a job offer - and I got it.

I hadn't applied for the job as I thought I was retired and enjoying myself
sewing, crafting and doing family history and just generally playing.

At 61+ years I had given up on getting a paying job so had thrown my skills
into volunteering at the local history society.

I worked very casually at the Australian Electoral Office when elections for
the State or Commonwealth (to be called soon) are being held and someone
very kindly looked at my details a bit more closely than before and rang me.

This means more money for material, maybe a first overseas holiday, new
clothes (for work of course) and a little bit of luxury as my DH and I own
our house now.

Oh boy, look our LQS, here I come.

I am so happy.

Congrats Di
I have done the local council elections once, which I enjoyed.
I think that 75% of the people that work on election day around here
are teachers from the local secondary college

Well done Di, I did that about 10 years ago (and the census work). I
don't think I earned enough for an overseas holiday though (smile).
Maybe the rates are better these days!

Congratulations, Di. What a wonderful surprise for you.
Hope it all works our well, and that some of these dreams become
reality.

Hi Bronnie,

The overseas holiday is a dream I have had for over 40 years - marriage and
two kids came along and it was put on the backburner for 'ever'. Now I have
the chance to save I might just make it - in about 2 years time.

I forgot to mention that it will be a permanent part time job after the
elections.

Regards,
Di
