Jet lag Thursday

I am totally stuffed today.

On Tuesday I flew to Brisbane.

Qantas wouldn't let me check into the earlier flight, so I boarded the 5.20 pm flight which got me into Brisbane at 11.30 pm. The Qantas flight was comfortable and they showed a movie which was very boring.

After a restless night at a hotel (not helped by 6 am bin emptying by big trucks) I spent the morning checking out potential properties to buy in Brisbane bayside (Lota/Thorneside/Birkdale). I had 6 properties to see between 9.30 am and 12.30 am in three suburbs and the train service between them is only half hourly. Somehow I managed it, but I then had barely enough time to grab a pie at a hot bread shop before another train back to South Brisbane then finding a bus to West End and a job interview at 3 pm.

(South bank/cultural centre bus interchange is amazing. A bus station in the centre of a main roadwith buses every few seconds it is also a request stop - and it turns out that the 199 West End service is not listed on the real-time departure screens.)

Then I had 2 hours of interviews with some really nice people I would like to work with, unfortunately fading fast at the end. A beer on the balcony with them (told you they were nice) , a lift back to South Brisbane station (ditt0), a train to Central and a quick bite in a fast food outlet then the Airport train to Brisbane airport. 7.55 pm departure to Melbourne with a looong flight arriving back at 11.45 pm.

I managed to read 3 fairly standard sized Inspector Thanet novels (one omnibus edition) on the flights and my head hurts.
