So yesterday was my 47th IELTS test (working that is :P) and my last one for the year. Which means I won't see my Deakin peeps or get a $300 pay day until about January twenty something. Sadface.
Sadface because I actually really enjoy it (not the 7.30am starts though) . Actually been there for about a year and a half now - how time flies - and I'm one of the longest-serving ppl there ha ha ha. Which means I do have some sort of status. As in - people actually wishing me well for my trip, people saying "Well, I'm glad you told us today was your last shift," people saying "Well I'll catch you on FACEBOOK," people staying back a bit to just have a chat to me, and best of all a lady, that could be my mother, passing on her email so I can write to her cos we're besties like this *crosses fingers*. I like it because it makes you feel special, right? Acknowledges that you exist. It's cool. Plus I'm like the baby there, yet boss them around. Sometimes it even feels like 'In Good Company' to some extent XD. I'm not always 100% comfortable with it, but I'd like to think my happy and easygoing demeanour makes it less awkward. Though sometimes I make references/jokes and they don't quite get it
Anyway, they'll live. Let's hope they don't have a Christmas party without me :(
