Smelling the Sights

Hey Kids! Have finished the crappy debt-collecting job. Hurrah. On Monday start at Bank of NZ. Apparently have to use Excel and Access to process tonnes of data wot they've collected. Sort of blagged it and said 'yeah I can do that' - as one tends to in job interviews when thinking of the money; but I think it might be a bit trickier than showing the senior folks of Didcot how to use a mouse.

Went to Rotorua last weekend. The earth's crust is very thin there, so steam rises from the ground, and sulphuric ming wafts past from time to time. I imagine being in New York with Jerome would be similar. It was my first trip out of the city, and the scenery was all green and covered in volcanic lumps and bumps which looked like many Hobbitons. Lotsa sheep!

Went Luging. The website makes it sound all glamourous, in fact it is all about sitting on a plastic tray with wheels and rolling down a windy track as fast as you dare. Good pointless fun.
