[kj] Killing Joke AUSTRALIA

[Brendan Quinn]

I keep an eye on jobs in Melbourne and Sydney, there's significantly better
$ / career development / opportunities, and my experience in my last 2-year
stint was that there's a higher level of management skill. NZ is a low(er)
wage economy so a lot of our best and brightest leave to go where the money,
opportunity, and smart cookies are.to be honest I'm a bit astounded at times
at who gets into all sorts of positions in NZ organisations. Managers and
middle-managers in particular can be a bit sub-standard because good ones
can much more o/s.  

 

Anyway with NZ property prices being what they are, you need to earn as much
as you can and make hay while the sun shines.I'm applying to change teams at
work to get into an area I think I'd be better at, if that doesn't work out
then I'll probably head over soonish. That might segue into a Killing Joke
tour pretty well.

Hi Brendan

So you're thinking of another stint in Australia? I never thought I'd say
this but - stay in NZ, the weather's better!!
If you're up for the floods, fires, cyclones etc then it would be great to
have the meet-up we never got around to last time.
I'm definitely going to the Brisbane KJ gig which is at a smallish but
nicely refurbished venue in South Brisbane. Unfortunately I'm not really in
a position to travel to some of the other Aussie gigs but I'll keep my eyes
on the flight specials to see if I might be able to swing it.
If you're up for a trip to Queensland then you're more than welcome to stay.

Cheers 

 

Geoff

Okay my Soundgarden contacts in Aussie have bought tix to Killing Joke in
Melbourne in June, apparently ,and are exhorting me to come along. And I'm
dead keen (notwithstanding because I fucking hate my job and want to move to
Melbourne..)

 

I'm slightly too modified to check all these details out atm, (okay WAY TOO
MODIFIED ATM) but I would strenuously urge all of my Australian Gatherer
compatriots to kindly step up and let their presence be known so that I have
the opportunity to arrange an Aussie trip..so what's on, where, and who is
going / what are we doing?

 

Geoff speak up you lurkerer, I still owe you a lunch mate!

 

Brendan
