Goodbye! So long! Ta-ta! Farewell! Toodleoo!

[gemfyre]

As you probably all know by now I'm leaving for 9 months. I managed to nab the job of my dreams in Broome and leave on February 1st in the evening.

In the meantime I'm running around like a chook with my head cut off trying to organise all my stuff.

This is completely awesome because it's my dream job, and it means I get to go up north which I have been craving for ages. I also think the time away will be good for me, and just one hell of an experience if nothing else.

The BAD thing is I'll have to leave all you lovely people. I'd like to have a going away party, but time constraints may not allow it and inevitably not everyone will be there.

I WILL be at karaoke for the next 3 Fridays as far as I know so come dance and sing and celebrate with me there if you like.

The trip to Rotto has been deemed to expensive and too much organisation for the short amount of time I have, and also due to time constraints the AG night may be postponed until next summer.

But yeah, I'll figure something out!

Ok, I'm a little behind. What job did you get and where are you going??

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

I shall be working at Broome Bird Observatory as assistant warden. It's about 2500km north of Perth and a lovely spot. I went there twice when I was a kid and fell in love.

Pictures of where I will be working here - http://www.ricki.bigpondhosting.com/background.html

The official site isn't up yet (click the link at the bottom of that page), but I've seen the beta and it will be an awesome site once it's up.

i hope you'll still post?

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

I'll try to get to the computer at least once a week.

Warning, 99% of the posts will be about birds.

[dead-corvette.livejournal.com]

it is strange, when I went away I guess I was too busy to realise how much I would miss people. but now you are going I know I will miss you. I think I need to go away so I don't miss you as much... you will update your LJ heaps though wont you?

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

I'll try to get a post to LJ at least once a week.

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

yeah well I know the netcafe up there (near china town) was ok priced and occassionally they would play jjj (when I was up their the council was against getting JJJ because one of the councilors was a director for the local "youth" radio station) do you have accomadation sorted up there?

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Yep, accomodation is provided.
I imagine I'll be able to access the online computer at BBO.

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

[smawpaws.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a blast!!!! Be safe, and take care of yourself!!!

I'm pretty sure we've got a KK's run on the cards this Friday. Hope to see you then :)

[reaperfox.livejournal.com]

Try and keep in touch! And have fun, I'm so jealous you got the job of your dreams :) Tell us all about it, ok?

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

I certainly intend to talk everyone's ears off about the beautiful beaches and funky birds up there. :)

[ellig123.livejournal.com]

Aww, have fun!! It sounds like you will, I'll look forward to reading your posts when you get there :-)

[mix-o-choc.livejournal.com]

Which Karaoke is this? I might turn up and sing up a storm with ya :)

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

KK's in Nedlands.

Nancy has been a few times. It's like pulling hens teeth getting her to come along tho. :(

[mix-o-choc.livejournal.com]

no idea where that is, address would be handy

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Broadway shopping centre, Nedlands. You can enter the carpark from either Broadway or Fairway.

Sarah (from highschool) should be there too.

[mix-o-choc.livejournal.com]

cool be there about 8 ish if I can

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

I'll probably get there 8:30-9ish
that's when the karaoke usually starts.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Yay :)

I was actually going to say "hey you should come coma along some time..." But I hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Anyhow, I most definitely *will* be there, though I may fall asleep at some point since I gotta start work at 6.30 tomorrow. Am having karaoke withdrawal since we haven't been since before Christmas.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

"come coma along"??!!

OK, I was not drunk, I swear.

[redmalice.livejournal.com]

I'm sure i could get Ric to come along to one karaoke to see you off :)
Have a great time in Broome anyway!
