In an effort to reduce my need to save up a lot of money to take a trip to Australia, I have been doing and Australian job search instead.  It made a lot more sense to me to turn it into a "working" trip and this way I will be able to stay away from home a little bit longer.

But I have had some difficulty finding a new job in a country that is so far away from my home.  Sure, you could argue that I should be able to find trade jobs easily when I get off the plane, but I needed to have some peace of mind knowing that I had a job to go to and I wouldn’t have to spend what little money I had while I was job-hunting.

Thankfully, I was able to find some retail jobs in Australia and I think that I will see if I can get an interview from them before I even get on the plane.

I might just have to wait until tomorrow – it is getting way too late to think straight.
