Studying at Redcliffe

Mark is out of work again, and we both agree on giving up on him getting a job in the building industry, he's had such bad luck with jobs in the last two years. Applying for hundreds of jobs is very demoralising, and we've both had enough. Especially when you finally get a job, and it only lasts a few months. So were going to try managing on one wage, while Mark works on ?building a soccer coaching business ?continuing with his Bachelor of Marketing, or switching to a more practical course like IT through TAFE.

He already has a part-time job as  Director of Coaching at The Gap Soccer Club. And in case we need more income, he's taking on Laura's suggestion of doing a security officer certificate and hopefully getting some work at the business she manages in Mackay. Here he is studying at Redcliffe Coffee Club.

Here I am clutching at the course folder to prove that I helped him wade through OHS responsibilities and various state legislation particularly pertaining to the role of the security officer. Thrilling stuff.

I was telling Kylie, one of the mums at school, about him doing security, and she said she thought it might be a dangerous job. I said she needn't worry, with Laura there to protect him - I proceeded to tell her the story of family legend, where Laura the size 8 five foot blonde beat up the guy who stole her car (which I learnt today was common assault on her part, but under provocation due to the guy committing the crime of stealing, all coming under the Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899). Phew.
