I just thought I would write this little entry before I went to bed.



I have the biggest urge to go back to Canada - it's not because I am home sick, it's not because I miss people back home, it's because of technology.



I am in Australia working my dream job, in an ISP doing technical support - what more can I ask for? Well I just found out today that I can get a cable modem at my house, that this cool thing called Mya from Motorola is coming out. Everything here is stuck in the past by at least a year. The internet is really expensive, slow, and it feels like this country is always trying to play catch up with the rest of the world. I feel like I have gone into the past, this is how Canada was 5 or 6 years ago - and it's driving me nuts.



I have always been the type of person to be the first on the block with every new toy that comes out. I can't really do that here, because by the time something finally arrives in Australia it has already been superceded twice in North America.



I guess the only thing for me to do, if I want to stay here for a long time is just to get used to it. I can also do the opposite of what I did in Canada. I can stay here for a few years and work my butt of to fly back to Canada and get my own place, new job, etc...



I just have to keep my mind off these thoughts, and hopefully this week will do just that. Something big is happening at work soon, and they havn't told me anything yet - which I understand. Let's just hope that the give me more hours because I need the money :)
