I’m sitting here in Starbucks, enjoying a ‘dry’ chai latte, listening to the music and thinking about how my life is filled with smiles.
I have a new contract for at least the next 6 months, in a place that two of my closest friends work at, which is filled with relaxed, happy and easygoing people who smile a lot. It’s the smiles - a new experience for me in a workplace!

And here we have the photos that have been ages in coming! I picked up the car last night, and here are some photos I took of it today. My latest pride and joy.

On Thursday I submitted a finance application for a car lease. On Friday I gained a new contract that starts tomorrow, valid for the next 6 months and with the possibility of extension. Today I found out my finance application was approved. I told the lease company to go ahead with the lease and to order the car.
It’s going to be ready to be picked up on Friday.
This is the law of attraction at work. The car was delivered to the local dealer on the same day that I had my new contract confirmed. I hadn’t confirmed the order but they had gone ahead and built it anyway - if I didn’t buy it, someone else would have. But it was being built for me.

I’m a Star Trek fan. I have been ever since I first saw Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, with ‘Mr Rourke’ from Fantasy Island, but as I’d never seen him before. I was a teenager, and that movie touched something in me, which has continuously been touched by Star Trek ever since. My favourite series was The Next Generation, with Captain Jean Luc Picard (that man was inspirational!), followed by Deep Space Nine.

I took my new car for a test drive today. The Ford XR6 Turbo. I haven’t got it yet, but it’s just a matter of time. Based on the colour that I drove today, Deidre and I have decided that’s got to be the colour I’ll be getting. We both like it a lot! It’s called ‘Conquer’, and it’s quite a good shade of blue. As Deidre said, it’s got ‘pizzazz’, and you can’t have a performance vehicle without that certain pizzazz. I agree! Here’s a few photos.

We discovered soon after moving into our house that our neighbours had a pet cow. Turns out they actually have 3 of them. Who needs roosters to wake you up in the morning at dawn when you’ve got cows mooing to be milked? And yes, we’re pretty much in the middle of the city, in the suburbs - and the neighbours have cows.
These cows stink to high heaven. And they’re always mooing! So we called the RSPCA to report it to them. They investigated, and we learn that they told the neighbours that THEIR neighbours - us - registered a complaint about their cows. Nice.

I’m no longer working. This is good and bad. Good because I really wasn’t enjoying the role at all. Bad because it was ended before it was supposed to end (by 3 weeks), and because I don’t have any money coming in until I get my next contract.
But that won’t be for too long. And it looks like I’ll be earning around the same, if not more, than what I was earning with this contract. One thing I’ve found is that my skills and experience put me into a high-paying category, which is REALLY nice.
