A nice surprise

Had a bit of good news this afternoon when I checked my email:

I applied for a job with a local newspaper last week, just a few days after I got here (a medium sized weekly paper). I was flipping through the paper and saw that they were looking for a journalist. I thought what the hell, why not go ahead and apply. Really didn't think that I'd hear from them as I figured they were looking for a local, someone who knows the city better and probably has more than a working holiday visa.

Much to my surprise, the editor emailed my yesterday and wants me to come in for an interview!

I'm not even sure that I want the job as I plan to leave Sydney soon and travel to other parts of the country. But I called her back and set up an interview for Monday. Who knows if this will even go anywhere or maybe just lead to casual/part-time work. I could live with that!
