Talk about an emotional roller coaster! I am getting more emotions out of this entire adventure and we haven't even left the country yet! Good news for us yesterday, no, FANTASTIC news for us. Yesterday morning I got a call from Hamilton Zoo offering one of us full time work until at least February, and the other casual work. Then, in February, after all the Xmas and New Year chaos and the summer rush, they will look at putting on 2 or 3 more staff and so something is bound to come up. Furthermore, they are going to try an help us get work at Auckland Zoo if we want to live somewhere between Auckland and Hamilton (1 and a 1/2 hours drive between the two zoos). Its all looking really good again and everything is how it should be. I had been carrying around this dull feeling inside ever since the other two pulled out of the deal. It's only today that I realise what an impact it had made on my psyche. I had already applied for a few other jobs around the country because we were determined to do something come November. Our minds had already made the big move from life as we know it, to something different and challenging beyond our comfort zones and familiar horizons. And, now we will be.......
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
