As of 9am tomorrow, I will officially be a working girl- and not the kind on the street corner at Kings Cross. :)
I finally heard back from that job interview a couple weeks ago, and they offered me a part-time position, which is perfect because I can only work 20 hrs per week with my student visa. I am not exactly sure what my title is, or what I will be doing, or even what my pay will be... but I'm very excited (read: nervous) about it.
The company is called Gth Events, and they manage events for the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. Hopefully everything will work out and it all goes well tomorrow!

Dingo Lingo
A Fair Go: A chance, or opportunity
I hear this one a lot, but specifically on a commercial (aka. "advert") about insurance: "You just want a fair go..."
Fair Dinkum: Often used by itself as a rhetorical question to express astonishment, as in "really?", or "you're kidding!"
After I told Will I was going to Hawaii, his response was "Fair dinkum?"
Good on ya: A phrase to denote congratulations or happiness with deeds
"Good on ya mate! You did great!" (My boss told me on my first day at work).
Heaps Good: Awesome, very impressive
"I think its lame now, but the first time I went to the Royal Easter Show I thought it was heaps good" (Will, convincing me that I should go)
Fairy Floss: Cotton Candy
(I saw it on a flyer for an outdoor party thing. I didn't know what it was, but then later Jackie was talking about it too. Apparently in South Africa its called "Candy Floss".)
Macca: McDonald's
"I could really go for some macca right now, I'm starved!" (Said someone in the elevator)
Goon: Cheap, Boxed Wine (diminutive slang for flagon)
"Maybe we should have a goon sack on hand in case we're desperate and the bottle store is closed" (Said Jen, when we were cleaning out the kitchen shelves)
Arvo: Afternoon
"See you Saturday arvo." (In an email from one of my prospective flatmates)
Rip: great, or cool
"The beaches here are so much more rip than in Miami." (One of my conversations with a student during orientation)
Lolly: a piece of candy or a sweet
"So no one feels left out, everyone can have a lolly." (During orientation after they gave away prizes)
Beaut: Great or fantastic, also Beauty
"That was beaut." (From the Perthians at the BlackJack table in Luxor, when they got a Twenty-One.)
Strewth: Exclaimation of surprise, disgust or amazement.
"Strewth! I should've known better." (From the Perthians at the BlackJack table in Luxor, when their cards busted.)
