News Year

Firstly, I've just figured out why news is called news, excellent. I'm sure it's not the first time I've figured it out but it was like discovering it all over again. Anyhoo. My new-s is that I will be starting my new job at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on the 1st of July. My new boss called me this afternoon to confirm the details after having received my references. Even better news (as long as the job's good of course!) is that it's actually until the end of February 2011, not November as it was advertised. I shall also be moving into my new house as of the 30th of June meaning this will be a new start all round for the New Year (Maori New Year is the end of June/start of July). Let's hope this is the start of a new, happy direction for my 2nd NZ experience.
