Yakkstr

bye bye ~

I have the sads today and can't concentrate on any work. Well I've been getting it done but I've had LOTS of mini breaks.

My sister is leaving town today, in exactly 1 hour actually. She's moving to a town called Karatha - a mining town because there is no work here and she wants to keep her house.

I'm going to miss her dearly. No one to hang with, no one to get shit faced with actually, no one to go swimming in the creek with, no one to winge to and listen to winging LOL, I guess most of all I'll miss having someone who knows me, understands me and enjoys my company at such close proximity.

sigh what I'll do now I don't know but this mining boom is really tempting I swear to god its tempting.

I can earn 3 times as much as what I do now for 1/4 of the work load, the only hitch is unless you're being offered accommodation there isn't any and what is available is over 2 grand a week.

Better get back to work... sigh

I'm sorry to hear that your sis will be further away. Is it close enough for the occaisional weekend visit? I know it's not the same, but ........ The mining thing sounds great on the surface, but with that hitch in the acommodations it kind of sounds like a vicious cycle.

Sorry to hear about that Lu, I had the same question Uni did, will there be any chances for periodic little visits? ((((HUGS)))))

Uni & Hege~ Karatha is the other side of Australia, long long way away. So perhaps a planned holiday???

That mining boom sure is a thing hey. I looked into it myself. The money being offered was astounding. It's not worth it unless you fly in fly out though. All the extra you make goes on ridiculous rent/mortgage costs. I know a few miners it aint all it's cracked up to be. I might have to post about it.

Sounds like a CNN post here that people need to hear about. That aside, I am sorry you will be missing your sis.
