My 3 Weeks of Unemployment Have Come to an End
I believe it's time for another blog thingie ![]()
On Monday I got a call from my recruitment agent and she had the greatest news ever
2 weeks ago I applied for a position at RegTel (a telecommunications regulator in Ireland), went for 2 interviews which were successful enough I guess
so yeah, got the job so I'm all happy now. Starting on Monday woohoohooo! The hours are 9am-5pm with an hour for lunch, the money's excellent too, 28 500 euro (approx $45 000) per annum which is pretty good for somebody just starting off
Wimbledon
The tournament of the year started on Monday so I can't peel my eyes off the TV
Ernests Gulbis is my guy and what a guy he is!!!
*le sigh* I'm in love.
Yesterday Ernests beat American John Isner 7-5 7-5 6-7(3-7) 7-6(8-6) in the first round and tomorrow he is facing the No.2 seeded Rafael Nadal. To be honest I though Isner and Gulbis were going to kill each other with their serves. These 2 players are very alike, amazing and extremely powerful serve, one ace after another... So now I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's match against Nadal.
Go, Ernie!!!
Somebody wipe the drool off my face...
