What a thrill,i had an interview with a large company based in Auckland so me and Joe flew up on Thurs.We decided to look at Auckland City and what a change to what we have back in the South island,smelly and not very nice but we found that just outside Auckland is some better places and very good Schools.Anyway we were walking up a street and there was a Reverse bungy attraction where you sit down and you are thrown Skywards,sadly i could not persuade Joe to go on so we went past.But the next best thing was just around the corner.....the Auckland Skytower,over 200mtrs high and you can jump off at 192mtrs...wow i was there and what a ride.You get taken to the jump point where these photos were taken then after the checks are done you walk out on a platform and i,ve gotta say i was a little bit poopin my pants but i was,nt going back.So they count you down and away you go just step off.....yeah it was that easy...not,i stepped off and at that point i honestly thought my heart had stopped then they drop you alittle then take a bloody photo....get on with it im thinking,then they let you go and it honestly felt like i was flying until you see the ground coming up to meet you...very very fast.So as i approach the landing pad what happens but my legs give way and there i am on my knees with Joe in fits of laughter...yeah thanks Joe.So i had done it and Joe turns round and says do you wanna do it again...what a comedian but er yep you bet but at 190dollars its gonna have to wait a little.
So back to the Job,did i get it?of course but i have another interview with another company in Christchurch on Tues the 30th Jan and its the second one so we are in a quandry as to whether we move..again upto Auckland or stay but the deciding will be done this week so i will let you all know.Keep looking at the blog as i am trying to persuade Tracey to let me do a proper skydive...from a plane next,and also we are trying to keep you all upto date.Bye for now Tony.
