Huzzah, first world (computer) problems have been surmounted!
So I mailed back the overpay....and I guess it was the right thing to do. Heck, apparently I made "Temp of the Month". If only I could articulate how that makes me feel.
Tomorrow I'm going to nab some Euro's. They aren't as wonderfully cheap as ye olde Canadian Dollar but the pound still trumps it by a reasonably consistant margin. When I checked this afternoon I saw that 100 pounds would net me 147 Euro's which is roughly what I've been recommended to acquire for the trip. Red swimshorts have already been selected.
Job hunting is proceeding apace, but I may have to work at Network Rail another couple of weeks. I think I could survive this, now that I know that since my initial contract has been filled I can just give two weeks notice like a normal human being. There is one production house which offers one year, paid contracts for runners which would be a good way of getting my foot in the door. The contracts become avaliable in July so it's just as well that I can get a few weeks more out of NR. Plus I still get my vacation, so that should at least recharge me.
Nowt much else today, but lasers saving the earth and talking paper!
Addendum: www.firstworldproblems.com is mine! Nothing up yet, but it's on the way...
