WOOT!

*sings* There is no recession in New Zealand... (that's actually a real song, LOL) As of yesterday, we are officially, technically, out of recession. Our economy, microscopic speck of a thing that it is, grew 0.1%. Can I get a hell, yeah? Maybe that means I'll get a pay rise next year, since I got sweet FA this year.

Apparently the red dust that covered Sydney yesterday is due here today, so it might get a bit hazy. But it's supposed to bucket with rain so that might mean we don't even see it.

Finally - I'm looking for music recs, pretty please. I've been listening to the same mixed CD in my car for months, and it's getting mighty boring. And I know you guys have impeccable taste. So to give you an idea, here's what I'm enjoying right now. Please, if you have anything similar in mind you think I'd like, recommend the artist. I don't need downloads, just ideas :o)

Yay! sounds like I need to move there to get a job!

I hope you guys don't get totally immersed in that dust storm. I have asthma so I'm glad to be nowhere near Sydney right now. i can't imagine how ba it is for everyone there.

*hugs*

Thanks, hun. We're only expecting a fraction of the dust they got. They had a lot of joggers admitted to hospital yesterday with breathing issues. I do wonder about the wisdom of jogging in that mess.

am assuming you have a pretty wide collection of dave matthews?

Yes, we have the first three albums, though I felt after that they kinda lost it. I should probably trawl through their most recent stuff on iTunes to see if anything else grabs my fancy.

We get our pay rise letters tomorrow so all fingers crossed for a decent raise. At this point, any raise is a good thing. Other people at my year level have somewhat unrealistic expectations, I think, which would mean much bitching and hilarity tomorrow, which I'm also strangely looking forward to. :D

Good luck, I hope you get one! A lot of companies froze wages this year, so as you said, any rise is good going. Hubby's company did them, though they were small. But better than nothing.
