Summer Holidays

Moby | 28/11/2004

If youve seen me this weekend, you would know how excited I am. Ive found the perfect hippy van. Its a Ford Econovan Maxi. Long wheel base with pop top (ala camper van style) roof.

And as long as it passes the NRMA inspection tomorrow its all mine.

I cant wait to get away, and play for a month or 2. I’m not too concerned about whats going to happen with work, I’m sure it will all work out.

On another note ( see last post – written ~4am after countless Souza Tequilas. )
I have found some ‘OK’ tequila in sydney. They don’t have Agavero, which is upsetting but this was manageable.

Apparently there is a tequila bar here as well. The top price for 30ml being $260 :D
Its probably a good thing I dont know where it is or what its called.

Recruiters: When they think youre it…

Moby | 26/11/2004

Thank you for your time this morning it was a pleasure speaking with you
and a relief to finally find someone of your calibre! As discussed I have
attached the position description for…

Aww, do I feel special?

They had dug out my old Resume from when I was based in NZ 18 months ago!

Pity its based in Melbourne. Maybe they will consider having a team split between there & Sydney. :)

Still, theres another Sydney based job I should find out more about today.

Contract Extended

Moby | 17/11/2004

My contract has been extended till 3 December. Which is cool. Gives me a bit more time to get organised and buy a van etc. I’m really looking foward to getting some serious time KiteSurfing.

2 days and counting

Moby | 12/11/2004

With still no news on if my contract is getting extended, it will be an interesting day on Tuesday.

Its quite strange having only knowing whats going to happen for a couple of days, and no certainty after that.

Nike 10 KM ‘Fun Run’

Moby | 4/11/2004

After only a couple of 8km training runs the week before, I was a little aprehensive about how i would fare.

However, great experience running in such a large group, and very thankful the course was reasonably flat. Bumped into Mark mid race, which was a god send to have a pacer.

My time: 51:36
Mark McLean: 51:51
Susannah: 1:02:04
Una: 1:05:14
Hannah: 1:13:25

What they mean:
Three hats

The food surprises in its originality, delights in its technique and is delivered by professionals who know exactly what temperature the oven is set at to prepare the slow-cooked duck and what the mystery ingredient is that makes it taste so sexy. When you as much as glance at the wine list a waiter or (even better) a sommelier is suggesting not only a wine that’s drinking well now but one you can afford. The interior is probably going to be fabulous, but it doesn’t have to be.

Two hats

All of the above – just down a notch or two (in some cases, only a tiny notch). Professional service and seriously good flavours on the plate.

One hat

There is noticeable flair in the kitchen – good flavours and polished cooking techniques. Service is caring, if not always textbook perfect.

Unhatted

If it’s in the Good Food Guide, we’ve been and are happy to recommend it (and we’ve been to plenty that missed out).
