TransTrain?








Well, I got home from Maui and had a quick look at my online Amex statement. Got a shock (we got the worst ever exchange rates of the Century). We were about to get in the car to pick up Afullah from Kitty-Kamp when the phone rang. It was Michelle, from TransTrain, also someone I know via the Lions Club, asking me if I could do some work for them...


The next day I started working 20 odd weekly hours on a casual basis. I now look after the IT in the office and help out with computer based admin tasks and other computer related areas such as Photoshop tasks, website maintenance, printers, phones, internet,...

TransTrain is run from a converted home in Devonport, occupying the top floor, with the bottom floor occupied by AusTours where several of my friends happen to work. I look after the IT needs for both busineses and run up and down frequently!

Of course I cycle to work (under 15 minutes mostly downhill) and take a scenic detour home (45 minutes with some nice hills) to keep my lungs going. I have enough time to still walk with K. a few times a week, and can take off time to go for hikes etc. Starting at 10am I can get all my nebulising out of the way in the morning without being rushed too. Ideal. I hope it all lasts! 

The people I work with are all friendly too, which is a bonus.
