Update on my life

Well, once again it has been a little while since my last posting so I guess I should write another update.

A few things have happened in the last few weeks. First of all I had a somewhat unexpected encounter with the police. It all started while I was sitting in my lovely basement having a quiet night in. Andrew my flatmate came in and asked if I could go see the police, as he had to go down to Tacoma for a conference so couldn't go. I thought about it for a few minutes and then decided that I would help him out. In the past I have certainly not made any great effort to get to know the police, not because I dislike them but rather I was just never overly interested in them. After going to see them I now have a new respect for what they do, I found I actually recognized a lot more of their work than I expected to.

Another thing that happened last week was that I finished working. Yep that's right I am now officially unemployed again. That means that I have a week of doing not a great deal before Dad and Mum arrive on Sunday. I guess there are a few things I need to do, like sorting out how much GST I owe the tax department, and figuring out what I will do with furniture, but for the most part I am not doing a lot. I think I may pop down to Seattle on Friday for a couple of days, that should fill in a bit of time. I didn't get to see much of Seattle when I was there for a night a couple of years ago, I basically just made it to a cafe and then walked back to my hotel. From memory there was some Johnny Cash tribute concert on TV that night so I just watched that. The concert was pretty good, although I feel that my time may have been better spent trying to see a bit more of the city. If I do end up going on Friday I will be sure to take some pictures and update everyone. There are a bunch of coffee shops down there that I would like to check out, hopefully some of them sell interesting cups that I can add to my collection.
