Wow, haven't been here for a while, almost 2 weeks actually. To be honest, nothing overtly interesting has been happening lately. Since my Singapore Melbourne flight I've been on Standby 3 twice, and spent the entire time bumming around at home not being called up. Whilst I'm technically working, I'm getting 3.5hrs flying pay every time I don't get called up, but if I got called up for a Bahrain, which is 1.5hrs flying pay, I'd be paid less. So the pay slip should be very interesting viewing next week.

I also had to get a Twinrix jab today, so my arm is killing me. Twinrix is the combined Hepatitis A & B vaccine. I was meant to go yesterday, but silly me forgot to take my vaccination booklet along, so it was a wasted taxi trip :-(

Tomorrow I'm flying to Paris, which should be interesting since I don't know a single work of French, and they tend to be a bit snooty towards English speakers. I remember Sabrina saying that when she went there she spoke Italian because she was worried the French would think she was from England rather than Australia and treat her like crap. So yeah I'm kinda worried. At least in Dubai or any Arab country they treat you nicely when you try to say "a salaam alaykum" or "shukran" etc.

I just want it to be over and done with so I can go to Nagoya and grab me one of these :-)
