    Change is in the air

    wow, what can i say - its been an eventful last couple of days for me

    as some of the welly crew know i've been slowly getting sick of my job especially this tuesday (was such a great morning too...)

    well..... Grub offered me a job, i sort of joked about and didnt seriously think i would want it - i just wanted to see what it was basically. anyways i met with his boss yesterday and well apparently the job is mine if i want it. Pay is good - they will match my current pay and give me a raise after a month

    the "downside": the downside is its in Kapiti - around the area behind the airport so this means i'd be doing a commute over haywards and paekakariki hills twice a day - this i have no problem with but i'd be just a little more excited if it was the start of summer not winter.....

    on top of all this i got talking to AJ last night, he has some rooms available to rent in his new flat in newlands - I need a garage to keep the new bike in anyway so I guess i'll be moving outta home too

    change and opportunities are in the air but do i have the balls to go and grab them?

    The one question when faced with opportunity, is will you regret NOT taking them?

    Awesome mate!!

    I say go for it. If you think you'll be happier at the new job then do it. Plus moving out of home is a good step. Life begins after that

    Just do it. You will learn in your new job. Your riding skills will improve - and what a way to start and end the day - on ya bike. Change your attitude to positive on the travelling side of things. Moving out of home - yet another freedom.

    Do it! Totally do it!

    Nothing better than moving out of home especially if you have a job already.
    There is no good reason to not do it

    Newlands to Kapiti every day is against the flow of commuter traffic Wasp. You'll be right.

    You'll get a bit of salt spray over the 636 though!

    Maybe go the whole hog and look at Kapiti flats too, they're cheaper and the weather is at least 2 degrees warmer. There might even be some KBers on the Kapiti coast looking for flatmate (no offence AJ, just a time & distance thing)

    And yes, you do have to "do it"

    Bloody good on you Wasp!

    So many people wish for a change, or a break of some kind - very few actually realise when its given to them...

    Up, up and away
