I Have a Motherfucking Job!

Not a job fucking mothers, but still worthwhile.

I quit the hotel around May, moved hemisphere, made attempt at getting family settled, and now one of the last few puzzle pieces is coming together. Starting off with only a few days a week, but hours should increase the longer I stay there.

I'm really excited about the work. Basically I'll be doing a bit of everything at a local olive grove who have been winning big awards for their extra virgin oil. I'll be getting palate training and learn how to blend as well as all the pruning, picking, marketing, sales, admin, etc that goes on at an olive grove.

veryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryvery
veryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryvery
veryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryvery
veryveryvery happy.

Just give me more hours.



Thanks for listening.

Cheers, guys. Good oliy job finding vibes sent, Cal. All the best! There is a potential for sending real oils, but let me get settled and then I'll see what I can do.

Jeager, if you typed words like Weller Street, Geelong West, Victoria into a computer using a thing called Google maps, then you'd get a pretty decent idea on where we are now. :wink:

My location says "Anakie Rd" which is where my dad's old property is. Should be done and sold by November sometime. Anakie Rd had it's spelling changed to Anarchy Rd and was the location for the original Mad Max. A lot of the film was shot around where we lived, and other locations were near my grandparents farm. Unrelated anecdote. :D

Jayzus, man, think you could possibly get farther away from the rest of civilization? :mrgreen: :lol:

And yeah, the Mad Max connection is fucking awesome.

I'm happy you're happy. Though the idea of such enthusiasm for a job is weird to me :) Olive oil is good stuff, I approve. Applaud, even.

Anarchy road, oi!

Rad! It must be a difficult transition for you to make from such a cushy, rewarding job that slanging drinks at the resort was.
