Well, well, well... Last night was the Careers Expo at the University of Melbourne. This 'event' was hosted by the student club of the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning. James and I went along to, I suppose, market our company to future quantity surveyors.
I'll tell you what, two hours of meeting and greeting after already being at work for 9 hours just isn't what the doctor ordered. And these shoes weren't meant for standing in.
Fortunately, I made an early decision not to put any of my business cards out on the table because I'm sure I'd have a lot more to complain about once the influx of CVs comes in, closely followed by the follow-up phone calls.
To top it all off, as I was trying to get home, I was threatened with a $100 fine for walking on the tram tracks! Ok... Admittedly, I was in a tram marshalling area but really, if they don't want people mistakingly walking into that area, maybe they should close off the fencing. Anyway, I just kept walking and said, 'Sorry, not from these parts!' They can't fine you if they can't be bothered walking after you!
I reckon it's a very clever ploy of Yarra Trams or Metlink or whoever it is to generate revenue by building a tram depot right outside a university where there are many foreign students. Imagine how many $100 fines are issued per day... Amazing.
