I realize that we haven't written in awhile, mostly due to our current jobs and car hunting which have been keeping us pretty busy. So, I thought I'd elaborate on what kind of work we've been doing and what we've been up to.
We are both 6 weeks into our current contracts which run for three months. We were very lucky to find three month contracts that started on the same day. Now when we finish we can both go travelling together! Matt is IT contracting with Fujitsu and I'm a receptionist with Infinity Solutions, another IT firm in Wellington. Although it's a far cry from wandering around in the intertidal zone, I've gotten used to answering phones and setting up tea for clients. However, I am still having trouble getting used to wearing business clothes day in and day out :)
When not at work we have been spending most of our free time searching for an "acceptable" car. This search has been far more difficult than anticipated, however we did buy one on Monday night! We are now the proud (?) owners of a 1996 Nissan Sunny sedan. All I can say is it has a clean bill of health and will get us around for the year.
Now we're preparing for the arrival of Matt's parents, who fly in tomorrow afternoon! That's what we have been up to lately, now let us know what you have been doing.
cheers,
gretchen
