"Where did you get the beanie, Asshole?"
"Yeah! Dick!"
I got that from some guy(s) on the bus when I was crossing the road at the traffic lights this morning.
I really didn't need it, given that I was doing my twenty-minute walk from the bus stop to work. It was cold, I was freezing my arse off, and had a whole day of set up and rehearsals for tomorrow's show day.
Can you believe it's been three weeks since I started work at Staging Connections. We put up a show tomorrow for the managers, pretty much a test of how much we've learned from all the training.
We've been working on lighting this week, the final module of our training. In the classroom anyway. From next week, we get assigned to venues throughout Perth, and get rotated so that we get to know them inside out. After our site visit at the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Wednesday, I'm really looking forward to starting work on the job.
Today went really quickly. I was nominated crew leader to set up the audio system, and I must say we got it done pretty well. We just had some issues keeping our cables a distance from the lighting ones, but we got that done pretty quick. I'll be on camera for tomorrow's show, so that should be good.
Oh yes, I almost forgot. I checked my e-mail this evening, and got a letter from the Immigration Department. I am now a Permanent Resident of Australia! Woohoo! I renewed my exit permit immediately, and at least I won't have to worry about my job status now.
I got to get back to updating the cue sheet for tomorrow's show, so I'll end here. I plan to continue wearing my beanie tomorrow. Grow some pubes, you cunts!
