14/4/2006 - Dive-free weekend :-(
Well here I am at uni on the eve of the Easter long weekend - but no diving for me I'm afraid. 
The rest of the club (well, most of them anyway, plus both boats and ALL the gear!) headed down to Yorke Peninsula this afternoon. Meanwhile I am trying to knuckle down and finish off my lab work. Clock is ticking, and I dread to think how little time I have before I have to start packing up to leave. Relocation companies have been very pleasant to deal with, but seriously - ringing me FIVE times this week is a little much.  I don't have to be there till July, and I certainly don't want to be thinking about moving stuff when I have so much uni work to complete. I don't think they realise how little I have to move over! Yay for sharehousing. Hmm, let me do a stocktake:
-
bed & mattress
-
tiny desk
-
set of drawers
-
washing machine
-
tub of dive gear
-
lead weights
-
fishing gear
-
microwave
-
coffee table
-
5 boxes of papers/books from my office
-
5 boxes/bags of miscellaneous household items eg. photos, pots & pans, linen, towels etc
-
2 suitcases of clothing
-
coffee machine*
*This may be given to my parents, as they'd get more use out of it!
So yeah, not really that much at all. My 1967 VW Beetle will be going back to Dad to tinker with (hopefully we'll look into restoring it!), the computer belongs to the uni and almost all the other furniture belongs to the house!!! Anyway, the removalists are coming on Tuesday & Wednesday to estimate the volume of stuff I have so they can give me a quote. But if the new employer wasn't paying for it to be moved, I'd probably leave most of it behind (except dive gear of course!!!).
Well, I made a half-promise to myself that if I got a substantial portion of the lab work done this Easter, I'd look at semi-dry suits afterwards, as a bit of incentive. Maybe not buy one, depends on the price and what's available, but we'll see how we go. It's 1:22am here, and without a significant caffeine boost, I'm not going to be looking at any more parasites this morning....so I might head home and get some sleep and start afresh tomorrow.
